Momma Charu players celebrate a morale-boosting win over the previously undefeated Brotherhood yesterday in the Belau Masters Softball League. (Jon Perez)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Momma Charu used a 10-run scoring binge in the third inning to hammer out a 16-13 decision against Brotherhood in the 2017 Belau Masters Softball League yesterday at the Dandan Softball Field.<\/p>\n

The victory improved Momma Charu\u2019s record to 7-3, but more importantly they ended Brotherhood\u2019s 10-game winning run to join Peleliu, which won by default against Red Torch in the other match.<\/p>\n

Lee Sibetang led Momma Charu\u2019s eight-hit parade with a lead-off home run in the third to break away from a 3-3 deadlock and worked their way to preserve the lead. Nizer Masayos had a triple in the said inning, while Leo Bobai and Ron Olopai each doubled.<\/p>\n

Brotherhood tried to turn things around in the last three innings but came up short, especially when they attempted a late-game comeback in the seventh.<\/p>\n

Bobai had a shaky seventh inning and gave up a two-run homer to Kalle Igisomar with Jerry Ayuyu, who had a lead off walk, tagging along to cut Momma Charu\u2019s lead to 16-10.<\/p>\n

John Terlaje, who reached first on a Sibetang throwing error, scored on a John Diaz RBI single to make it 16-11. That Brotherhood play sandwiched a Ken Kaipat fly for the first out. Diaz later scored on a Bill Camacho single and the latter added one more run.<\/p>\n

Camacho\u2019s run pegged the final count as Momma Charu\u2019s defense held on. Bill Angailen, who singled, was caught on a 6-4 putout play, while Joe Lizama was tagged out heading to first to end the game.<\/p>\n

Kuich Damian homered and had three RBIs, while Bernard Keleleman also blasted a solo round-tripper in the fifth inning. Ed Kapileo scored thrice and Olopai finished with two doubles.<\/p>\n

Bobai and Payton Sakuma had a double each, and Fawnny Kelulau, Mars Keleleman, and Ben Tagabuel had a single apiece to contribute to Momma Charu\u2019s 15 hits.<\/p>\n

Sufa moved to 4-7 after a 14-11 win over Asahi, while Peleliu forced a tie for the lead with Brotherhood after winning by default against Red Torch, which dropped their 10th straight game. The SA Masters (5-6) also won by default over the C.K. Bears (2-8).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
