Check it Out still perfect in women’s division

Women’s division frontrunner Check It Out buried Enamo Meta, 23-3, in three innings and extended its unbeaten streak to four in row as the Chamolinian Softball Association’s 2012 Budweiser Softball League season continued Friday night at the Capitol Hill Ballfield.

In the men’s division, Berdax (3-1) defeated Managaha Boys (0-5), 28-15, and Gagu Eyez (3-2) outlasted Saipal (2-3), 24-19.

Enamo Meta stung Check It Out with three runs off four hits right out of the gate, but Check It Out took the punch and blew up the scoreboard for a dominant mercy victory in three innings.

Check It Out bashed four hits as well, but mustered five runs with the help of some shaky defense. Janelle Brel and Rellani Ogumoro bagged RBI singles.

Enamo Meta drew a blank in the second and Check It Out shot ahead, 21-3, in a long second inning off a dozen hits.

Every player in the lineup scored and Sandy Leon Guerrero (two doubles), Keolani Rios (RBI), Minami Tadokoro (RBI), Brel (RBI), and Jovie Omar (three RBIs) made it around twice. Connie San Nicolas also belted a two-RBI single.

Enamo Meta finally got out of the nightmare inning, but left a runner stranded at second base to start the third and Check It Out managed the two runs needed for the early decision from an error and a walk off single by Tadokoro.

Check It Out’s Brel swung 3-for-3 with two RBIs and three runs. Tadokoro batted 3-for-4 with an RBI and three runs, while Omar batted 2-for-3 with three RBIs and three runs. Enamo Meta’ lost for the second time in three starts.

Berdax overcame an early 3-7 deficit with eight runs in the top of the second inning off a three-run home run by Vaughn Hofschneider, a two-run blast by Kel Kapileo, a solo shot by Franco Flores, and a two-RBI base rip by Ben Taisacan.

Managaha came up empty in the bottom frame and the count shifted to 12-8 as both teams added a run in the third inning.

The bats cooled midway through the game and the scorebook read, 16-11, for Berdax after five frames.

Then Berdax lit a 12-run fuse at the start of the sixth off 13 hits including a two-run homer by Taisacan; doubles from Frank Robert (RBI), Dung Tenorio, Jesse Tenorio (two RBIs), and Shine Tenorio; and RBI singles by Dave Camacho Jr., Fred Kaipat, and Juan Taitano.

Managaha’s leadoff man Anton Lacanlale left the yard to start the bottom frame, but Berdax held it down in the clutch. Berdax batted through its lineup four and a half times in the match.

Saipal assumed an early 5-2 lead after the first inning with a two-run blast by Lefty Shiro, a two-RBI single by Luis Ngiraikelau, and an RBI double by Kuick Daman, but the game became knotted at nine apiece after the second frame.

Saipal mustered four runs from a triple by Shiro, a base rip by Gloyd Martin, and a two-run dong by Jordan Hayes, but Gagu Eyez unleashed a seven-run uprising in the bottom frame off six hits. Jack Sablan hammered a two-RBI double, Swain Cangco left the yard for two runs, and Tyrone Omar bagged a RBI single.

Gagu Eyes kept a lid on Saipal in the third inning and pulled ahead, 11-9, in the bottom frame off an error and an RBI base knock by Cangco.

Saipal’s Ngiraikelau cranked a three-run bomb to help knot the score at 13-all after four innings, but Gagu Eyez kept chomping at the bit and moved in front, 17-13, in the fifth inning thanks to a two-run homer and a couple of extra runs from errors.

Saipal’s Martin and Ico Eli lifted a pair of homers for the bulk of their team’s five runs in the top of the sixth, but Gagu Eyez always had an answer and struck back with seven runs in the bottom frame and held strong on defense in the final stand.

Gagu Eyez’s Cangco batted 4-for-4 for six RBIs and a run and Sablan went 3-for-4 with two RBIs and four runs.
