Ol’Aces seized the solo lead in the Juniors Division of the 2009 Saipan Little League Baseball Association after shocking powerhouse Patriots, 7-3, last Saturday at the Francisco “Tan Ko” Palacios Ballfield.
Pitcher Lamarc Iguel went 4-for-4, including a solo homerun in the top of the fourth, to lead Ol’Aces to its fourth win in a row (4-0).
Ol’Aces is now half a game ahead of the previously undefeated Patriots, who fell to second with a 4-1 win-loss card.
In all, Iguel allowed 10 hits and three runs, while striking out three batters. He made his four runs in the first, fourth, fifth, and seventh innings, in one of the best individual offensive performances of the young season.
The team’s other runs came from Phillip Litulumar in the fourth, Jacob Flores in the fifth, and Jake Santos in the seventh.
[B]Red Sox 10, Fielders 0[/B]The Red Sox blanked Fielders, 10-0, for only their second win in five outings.
Clayton Aguon issued 10 strikeouts in completing a no-hitter. He allowed only two walks.
Joseph Borja and Tommy Reyes scored the first two runs for the Red Sox in the top of the second inning. Thomas Reyes added one in the third, while Reyes and A.J. Lizama tucked in two more in the fourth. The team then added five more runs for good measure in the fifth.
The Fielders absorbed their fifth defeat in as many games.
