DCCA too tough at 2-0

Posted on Nov 15 2006
The Department of Community and Cultural Affairs continued to bully their opponents in the Inter-Government Slow-Pitch Softball League as they crushed the free swingers from Procurement and Supply to improve to 2-0.
There was never room for doubt that the defending champions DCCA boys would emerge victorious in their second outing as they hammered out 26 hits through six innings of mountain ball before umpires invoked the 10-run mercy rule.
John Reyes and company rocketed out to a 12-0 lead in the top of the fourth before P&S scored its first run in the bottom of the inning. It looked as if the game would be called early when DCCA took a 16-1 lead in their next at bats but P&S rallied to score seven runs in the bottom of the fifth to close the gap to 16-8.
The Miguel “Tan Ge” Basa Field scoreboard continued to get a workout when DCCA scored a half-dozen runs in the top of the sixth but P&S was unable to answer.
[B]DPW 12, ARFF 8[/B]The firefighters who protect the airport were unable to drench the competition on Monday as the Department of Public Works survived a mid-game rally to torch ARFF, 12-8.
The teams combined to connect with 31 hits on the night in one of the most exciting games of the young season. After DPW opened with two runs in the first and four in the bottom of the second, ARFF tied the game with a six-run 10-hit third inning.
The fire-eaters took a 7-6 lead in the top of the fourth but it was short lived as DPW scored four runs in the bottom of the inning to take the lead and never looked back.
[B]CPA Ports Police 13, CUC I 2[/B]Officer Byron Kaipat’s walk-off three-run homerun in the bottom of the fifth was all that umpires needed to call the final game of the night at the CPA Ports Police opened their season with a 13-2 win over the Commonwealth Utilities Corporation I team.
Kaipat was perfect at the plate with a flawless 3-for-3 performance that yielded a pair of base hits and five runs batted in for the boys in blue. The CPA squad is traditionally strong on the softball scene and they held an eight-run lead before Kaipat’s fifth-inning heroics.
