Man Amigos’ Julian Camacho and Sakudi’s Liz Lebria finished out the Chamolinian Softball Association’s 2nd Budweiser Slow-pitch Softball League season as the most decorated male and female players after the conclusion of the awards ceremony that followed last Friday’s divisional championships at the Capital Hill Ballfield.

Camacho drove in 37 runs this year, while Lebria and teammate Rachel Salalila shared the honor with 15 apiece. Lebria maintained a 0.606 batting average and was also named batting champ. Natibu’s Jerome Delos Santos batted 0.658 to top the men’s field.

Moreover, Camacho finished third overall on the slugger list, maintaining a 0.630 batting average, third in runs scored with 26, and fifth overall in doubles hit with four.

Lebria also finished third in runs scored with 16, second in doubles with three and third in triples hit with two.

Sakudi’s Bert Camacho was selected as the ladies’ championship MVP, while Man Amigos’ Roy Celis took home the men’s division honors; Celis also led the men’s league in doubles with eight.

Bert Camacho crossed the plate a league-best 20 times, while Natibu’s J.R. Suel and Ur Balls’ Giovanni Ayuyu finished the year as the men’s run scored co-champs with 28 apiece.

Red Eye’s J.R. Brel (21) and T&C Clan’s Antonette Laniyo (47) were crowned the strikeout king and queen, respectively.

The youngest men’s team, Red Eye, and the women’s division’s T&C Clan won sportsmanship trophies, while X-clusive was declared the men’s lower bracket champs earlier in the week.

Then just before the runner-up and champion team trophies were presented, CSA officials gave recognition to various individuals who have supported the league.

The 2011 CSA season was dedicated to “Braddah” Ton for his passion for family, friends, and fun as he lights up heaven’s playground with the smile he showed in last year’s inaugural season. Those in attendance also extended their utmost appreciation to Janet Aguon Iguel and family for their continued support to the league.

Another plaque of appreciation was presented to Mar-Pac Budweiser for its second year of sponsoring the league. Organizers also expressed hopes of receiving anew the company’s support next season.

After the awards presentation, everyone was invited to feast at a moonlight barbeque prepared by various league members.
