Camacho, Pirates tame Dragons in Majors

Frankie Camacho pitched 1.2 innings in relief to help the Kautz Glass Pirates to a 7-4 win over the San Antonio Dragons in Sunday’s Majors division game in the Saipan Little League at the Miguel Basa “Tan Ge” Pangelinan Field.

Camacho came in the top of the fifth with two outs with two runners on base and the Dragons holding on to a 4-2 lead. He struck out Nathan Camacho to end the inning.

The Pirates then made their comeback in the bottom of the fifth, scoring five runs to grab the lead giving Camacho the needed run support heading into the top of the sixth.

He struck out Dragons lead off batter Bo Barry to move the Pirates one out away from handing the San Antonio-based crew their second loss in eight matches.

A Pirates throwing error allowed Jared Cabrera to be safe on second while Steven Cabrera walked to put two runners on base.

But Jared and Steven were stranded after Camacho, who struck out four batters in 1.2 innings, fanned Misaki Cramer and Alden Ngeskebei to end the game.
