From there, Peleliu took the game on with renewed vigor after Momma Charo came up empty from the fourth through sixth inning, scoring in 10 runs over three innings, with them now on top of the scoreboard at 17-9.

In the innings, Peleliu’s John Terlaje whipped up a triple and had one RBI. The other RBIs were from Jun Lizama at four, and Bill Aguon and Joe Lizama at three a-piece.

All hope was lost for Momma Charo as in the seventh inning they only managed to score three runs while Peleliu added five more runs to secure the win at 22-12.
