It was a much-needed win for IP&E, which improved its win-loss record to 3-5, while the Ol’Aces dropped to a 5-3 slate.<\/p>\n
Additionally, defending champion St. Michael’s Medical Response Angels (4-3) toppled the Rep. Sylvestre Iguel Masters (1-6), 17-7, in eight innings last Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The season continues Monday at 6:30pm at Tan Ko Field when the Ol’Aces take on co-frontrunner Saipan Stevedore Co. Northern Yankees (6-1).<\/p>\n
Tan Holdings Brewers (6-1) and the Rep. Ray Yumul D-9ers (0-6) make up the rest of the SML field.<\/p>\n
Fielders 16, Ol’Aces 7<\/strong><\/p>\n IP&E Fielders assumed an early 3-0 lead in the first inning from a couple of base rips by Wenser Namelo and Cadez Tenorio that were followed by a pair of walks for a bonus run.<\/p>\n IP&E added two more runs in the second inning from a leadoff triple by Anthony Tenorio and another RBI single by Cadez Tenorio.<\/p>\n They remained patient at the plate as the count shifted to 9-3 after the three innings. IP&E’s Anthony Tenorio and John Reyes bashed a pair of RBI base hits, while three runs made it around off wild throws.<\/p>\n Ol’Aces also mustered three runs with the help from some shaky defense. Ol’Aces’ Jess Iguel chalked up an RBI in the mix.<\/p>\n IP&E then cracked four hits in the fourth and trudged forward, 11-3, but stumbled again in the bottom frame and allowed three runs by the Ol’Aces.<\/p>\n Though IP&E never lost control, the Ol’Aces managed to draw out the game to all nine innings.<\/p>\n They trotted ahead, 14-6, in the sixth of a couple of RBI base knocks by Shane Mendiola and John Reyes and sprinkled runs in the seventh and ninth before on rout to the easy win.<\/p>\n Anthony Tenorio batted 5-for-5 with two triples, three RBIs, five runs, and two bases on balls.<\/p>\n Angels 17, Masters 7<\/strong><\/p>\n The Angels pushed in front, 2-0, in the first inning off three hits. Franco Flores bagged an RBI single.<\/p>\n They added a run in the second inning off an error and then jumped ahead, 6-1, after bringing around three more runs in the fourth off three hits. Hector Efraim came away with an RBI base rip.<\/p>\n Three more runs came in for the Angels in the fifth frame after four more hits. Jay Camacho led off with a double, John Reyes roped a triple, and Nunu Kapileo nabbed an RBI single in the exchange.<\/p>\n Both teams traded a run in the sixth inning and the Masters halved their deficit, 5-10, in the seventh off some sketchy pitching and a two-RBI bash by Mark Flores.<\/p>\n The Masters pulled within three runs in the top of the eighth, but fell apart out in the field as the Angels sewed together a nine-run surge with two outs that slammed the door.<\/p>\n The Angels busted six hits in the inning, which include an RBI double by Marvin Kaipat, an RBI single by Kapileo, a two-RBI smash by Efraim, and an RBI base poke from Peter Tenorio; Tenorio scored the game winner soon after off an error.<\/p>\n John Reyes batted 5-for-6 with an RBI, four runs, and three stolen bases.<\/p>\n By Walter J.
