Inside-the-park home runs by Thomas Reyes and Craig Aguon highlighted the Bank of Saipan Red Sox’s 18-3 win over the Tan Holdings Athletics in their Saipan Little League game last Wednesday at the Miguel Basa “Tan Ge” Pangelinan Field.
Reyes homered twice in the game, blasting back-to-back inside-the-park round-trippers to lead the Red Sox’s 13-for-22 batting. He went 2-for-3 scoring two runs with three RBIs.
Reyes had a solo shot in the first inning then a two-RBI four-bagger in the Red Sox’s eight-run second inning barrage. Aguon, who went 1-for-2, also had a two-RBI inside-the-park homer in the same inning.
All three home runs came against Athletics starter Jacob Tomokane, who lasted two innings in the game shortened by the 10-run mercy rule. He was tagged with 11 earned runs on eight hits with a strikeout and seven walks.
Ferin Renguul pitched two innings in relief allowing five earned runs on five hits with a strikeout and one walk.
Tiana Osada joined the hit parade for the Red Sox going 2-for-3 with two runs and a triple. She had an RBI-triple in a five-run first, an RBI-single in their eight-run rampage, and an RBI-single in a three-run fourth inning rally.
Jerome Reyes went 3-for-4 with two runs, a double, a triple, and four RBIs. He had an RBI-double in the first then connected with a bases-clearing three-RBI triple in the second.
Nathan Sablan went 2-for-3 with two runs and two RBIs, a two-RBI double in the first inning.
Greg Aguon pitched 3 1/2 innings, limiting the Athletics to three earned runs on six hits with three strikeouts and the same number of walks. Alex Monkeya pitched 1/2 inning no-hit innings in relief with one strikeout.
