Braves end Red Sox win-run to remain clean

Anthony Dison pitched 1/3 inning in relief, A.J. Johnson and Vincent Camacho drove in a pair of runs, and the Tanapag Braves went on to an 8-6 win over the Red Sox in the Saipan Little League’s Major division on Saturday at the Miguel “Tan Ge” Pangelinan ball field.

Dison relieved Vincent Camacho at the bottom of the sixth when Shane Mallens was up to bat with still no outs, and runners at first and second. He forced Mallens to ground out to Antonio Norita, who fielded it cleanly to Steven Kileliman at first base for the first out.

Devon Pangelinan walked, but he was left stranded on base after Dison retired Marty Taisacan and Rita Agulto to end the game.

It was the Braves’ fifth straight triumph and in the process ending the four-game winning run by the Red Sox.

Camacho went 2-for-4 with a pair of runs and an RBI double in the third and an RBI walk in the Braves’ six-run fifth inning. He also started for the Braves giving up one earned run on five hits with seven strikeouts and one walk.

IT&E Comets 13, McDonald’s 3
The IT&E Comets scored four runs each in the first and fifth innings to beat Team McDonald’s via the mercy rule.

The Comets only had four hits against the bullpen of McDonald’s with triples each by Devin Ayuyu and Forest Pangelinan in the first and third innings, a double by Ross Ariola, and an RBI single by Keyshawn Mike.

But McDonald’s starter John Acosta and reliever John Santos had a combined 15 walks with the Comets’ base runners scoring eight times.

It was the Comets’ second straight win after coasting to a 17-2 decision over the Little Padres last Tuesday, while the loss foiled the 10-5 triumph of Team McDonald’s last Thursday.

Falcons 40, Jets 0
The Falcons used a 22-run first inning in zipping past the Jets. They blasted three inside-the-park home runs on their way to 22 hits.

JUNIOR LEAGUE
Falcons 10, Fielders 6
Henry Aguon and Noel Cabrera went 2-for-4 each and scored two runs apiece for the Falcons.

Aguon also had two RBIs to bring in Cabrera in the fourth and sixth with singles.

Cabrera also tossed 3.2 innings giving up three runs on three hits that included a three-run shot to Don Ada, who drove in Jose Camacho and Kimo Aingalen, and a double to Neldreyton Skerei.

He was forcing the Fielders to hit grounders in the early innings but lost control in the top of the fourth, with two outs, and was later relieved by Jester Kintaro.

Kintaro came in when Dai Podziewski was up to bat and later singled. He struck out Tyrese Camacho to end the inning.

SENIOR LEAGUE
Combets 5, Braves 3
Brandon Pua tossed for six innings surrendering two earned runs on five hits, fanning five and walking one.

Lorenzo Sebastian came in the seventh to preserve the win. He gave up a single to Jayjay Fejeran, but forced Mario Aguon to fly out and struck out E.J. Nekaifes to move one out away from victory.

Sebastian hit Ernie Dela Cruz by pitch and Jay Kalen reached safely on first base on a Franko Nakamura error.

Cody Omenkar, who doubled in the sixth, struck out to end the game.

Enforcers 13, Fielders 4
Henry Lizaman pitched almost a complete game and was tagged with one earned run on seven hits, retiring five batters and walking four more.

Franklin Lizama had an RBI triple in the Enforcers’ eight-run fifth inning rally, while Henry Lizama went 2-for-4 with two runs and an RBI.
