Team Angel went undefeated against five other teams, including Team Akarri, in the elimination round to clinch the top seeding in the winners bracket.
They won three more matches in the playoff round after that and was declared the champions by the organizers after the rains won’t stop last Sunday.
Team Mamaaw and Team 45 No More Rice came in third second and third, respectively.
The Rey Saralu-led Team Akarri, which topped the first edition of the tournament after a 15-9 thumping of Natibu two weeks ago, failed in their title bid as they got eliminated in the playoffs.
The tournament is a fundraising event for next month’s Sta. Remedios Fiesta in Tanapag.
A total of 15 teams joined the two editions of the fundraising event.
During the first tournament, held from Sept. 5 to 7, Saralu was consistent with his hitting to power Akarri to the title. His sacrifice fly RBI in the top of the fifth highlighted his team’s comeback from a four-run deficit.
Organizers of the softball fundraiser said they collected enough money that will cover the expenses of holding the feat day of the Our Lady of Remedies on Oct. 12.
They added that everyone is welcome to join them in the festivities over at Tanapag. (Jon Perez)
