The 8th Saipan and Northern Islands Municipal Council recently adopted a resolution congratulating the 2004 CNMI All-Stars Junior League Baseball Team for capturing the 2004 Asia-Pacific Regional Little League Baseball Tournament Championship Title.
The CNMI team did this by nipping Guam 5-4 during their match on July 14, 2004, at Guam Hagatña’s Paseo Stadium.
The 2004 Asia-Pacific Regional Little League Baseball tournaments featured teams from Indonesia, the Philippines, Guam and the CNMI.
The 2004 CNMI All-Stars Junior Little League Baseball Team is composed of Jesse Borja, Shane Yamada, Jess Iguel, Vince Sablan, Martin Pangelinan, Josh Arriola, Joe Salas, Thorn Sablan, Ryan Ada, Jonathan Salas, Kevin Babauta, Nicolas San Nicolas, Nunu Kapileo, and Juan Tenorio. The team is managed by Frank “Sonny” Flores and coached by Roy Sablan.
The CNMI team’s victory earned them the right to represent the Pacific at the 2004 Junior Little League World Series in Taylor, Michigan.
“The members of the Municipal Council join the people of the CNMI in extending special recognition and congratulation to the 2004 CNMI All-Stars Junior Little League Baseball Team and wish them the best as they represent the Pacific region at the 2004 Junior Little League World Series in Taylor, Michigan,” part of the resolution reads.
The resolution was certified by municipal council chair Gregorio V. Deleon Guerrero and vice chair David A. Indalecio and attested by secretary Antonia M. Tudela. (PR)
