The Falcons swept the Kagman Enforcers in the Junior and Senior League division games in the 2016 Saipan Little League Baseball last Saturday at the Francisco \u201cTan Ko\u201d Palacios Ballfield.<\/p>\n

In the Junior League, the Falcons posted a 6-3 win, while their Senior League crew coasted to a 9-2 triumph.<\/p>\n

Closer Spencer Dickinson came in for Arby Yaguel early in the fourth inning and threw a two-hitter in 3.4 innings pitched while striking out seven and giving up no runs to lift the Falcons to victory. Dickinson also went 3-for-4 at bat and scored one run.<\/p>\n

His lone run came at the top of the first inning where the Falcons got four more for the early lead, 5-0. Three of the Falcons\u2019 runs were off the Enforcers\u2019 errors, while the other two came from Yaguel\u2019s RBI single and a wild pitch. Tyrese Camacho also hit an RBI single in the sixth, while the Enforcers tallied one run apiece from the second to fourth inning before they failed to score in the last three with Dickinson on the mound.<\/p>\n

In the Senior League match, a six-run bottom of the fifth inning allowed the Falcons to take full control of the game.<\/p>\n

Before that explosion, the Falcons were just up by two, 3-1, after four complete innings. Neldrey Skerei had an RBI triple, Kimo Angailen, Rich Atalig, and Jay Kalen each hit an RBI single, and Henry Aguon converted an RBI double and also reached off the Enforcers\u2019 error to give the Falcons a 9-1 advantage after five complete innings. <\/p>\n

The Enforcers managed to nail only one run at the top of the sixth with Nat Nogis scoring off a Falcons\u2019 error, allowing the Falcons to take the win half an inning early.<\/p>\n

Atalig got the win, pitching in no relief and giving up only five hits while fanning out eight.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Braves eased past the Comets, 10-2, in the Big League pairing last Saturday<\/p>\n

Ian Norita went 3-for-4 at bat for the Braves and scored two runs and three RBIs. Franklin Lieto was only 1-for-3 at the plate, but added two RBIs and two runs, while Barry Sunumai and Juan Quitugua also chipped in two runs each.<\/p>\n

The Braves lit up the board in five out of the seven-inning game, while the Comets scored only in the fourth off Greg Sablan\u2019s two-run triple.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
