Camacho tosses 2-hitter in Red Sox win

Nate Camacho tossed a complete game two-hitter to lift the Red Sox to a 5-2 win over the Enforcers in the Senior League division of the Saipan Little League on Saturday at the Francisco M. Tan Ko” Palacios Baseball Field.

The Enforcers’ two runs were both earned with Ethan Babauta and J.J. Chong reaching home plate on a Kier Agda two-RBI single with one out—Franklin Lizama grounding out to second—at the bottom of the seventh.

Babauta singled and Camacho walked Chong to put runners at first and second. Greg Sablan was hit by pitch to load the bases. Camacho fanned Ton Muna then gave up that two-RBI single to Agda.

The Red Sox preserved the win after Sablan was tagged out going to third in the same play.
