Germance shows versatility in Belau softball
Taylor Germance has shown his versatility in the 2017 Belau Masters Men’s Softball League after figuring prominently in the batting category of the weekend competition.
The Karui slugger is currently fifth in the batting leaderboard with a .625 percentage or having 30 hits in 48 times at bat. He is also the home run king, hitting his 15th round-tripper in Karui’s 21-10 thrashing of Peleliu last week. The Papa Bears’ Jojo Attao, the current batting leader with .784, is second behind Germance in the homer and RBI categories with 13 and 34 each. Germance leads the league in RBIs with 47 and is tied with Joe Lizama of Brotherhood in the most runs scored with 30 apiece. Steve Igisaiar of Karui had 33 RBIs, while Payton Sakuma made 31 along with 11 homers.
Bill Camacho placed second in batting (.725) and runs scored behind Germance and Lizama with 28, and in triples with five following Nizer Masayos’ seven. Dominic Hideo, James Fleming, Kalle Igisomar, and Tosh Beltran had four triples each, while Shiro leads the league with the most doubles, followed by Phil Celis and Tito Laniyo with seven each.
Darwin Masaharu of Karui (fourth, .647); the Brotherhood’s Jack D. Diaz (sixth, .622) and Jerry Ayuyu (seventh, .606); Jude Dickinson of the S.A. Masters (eighth, .594); Igisaiar (ninth, .592); and Peleliu’s Hideo (10th, .587) rounded up the batting leaders.
Momma Charu’s Leo Bobai topped the pitching department with a 5.86 ERA and holds a 10-3 record in the 74 innings he pitched, followed by the Papa Bears’ Joseph Celis (5.94), the Brotherhood’s Diaz (6.51), and Peleliu teammates Rush Kintaro (7.45) and Ray Villagomez (7.56).
John Cepeda (S.A. Masters, 7.78), John Terlaje (Brotherhood, 9.16), Karui’s Lucian George and Sufa’s Tom Camacho with similar 9.19 ERA, and Igisaiar (9.64) also made the pitching leaders list.
Bobai is also ahead in strikeouts with 25 and was closely followed by the 24 of Leo Iskawa and 23 of Tom Camacho.
