The Tigers\u2019 Ian Rogolifoi bagged the batting crown, while the Brewers\u2019 Vince Cepeda took the pitching title as the regulation season of the 2014 Saipan Baseball League came to a close last Friday at the Francisco \u201cTan Ko\u201d Palacios Ballfield.
\nRogolifoi posted a batting average of .452 after his Tigers completed the double-round robin elimination with a win against the D-9ers last Friday. Rogolifoi went 14-for-31 in 10 games and was the lone player in the batting leaderboard to average at least .400.<\/p>\n

Runner-up Tyrone Omar of the Brewers registered a batting average of .394 after going 13-for-33, while his teammate Nokkie Saralu finished third off a 13-for-34 performance at bat and .382 average. Rounding out the Top 15 batters, which were based on 30 or more times at bat, were the Yankees\u2019 Brian Camacho (.378), the Fielders\u2019 Jared Sablan (.354), the Brewers\u2019 Diego Camacho (.333), the Tigers\u2019 Rocco Reyes (.324), the Yankees\u2019 Chris Camacho (.313), the Tigers\u2019 Mark Toves (.306) and Tom Guerrero (.300), the Northern Starz\u2019s Jeremy Atalig (.297), the Brewers\u2019 Ton Leon Guerrero (.294), the Yankees\u2019 Pat Alepuyo (.286), and the Brewers\u2019 Byron Kaipat (.278) and Jun Rabauliman (.267).<\/p>\n

In the pitching race, Cepeda bested nine others after recording a 0.31 ERA. The Brewers ace allowed only one run in 28.2 innings pitched to beat the Fielders\u2019 Aaron Benavente and teammate Leonard Sablan. Benavente notched a 1,29 ERA off three earned runs allowed in 21 innings, while Sablan rounded out the Top 3 after giving up two earned runs in 13 innings.<\/p>\n

The pitching leaders were based on 12 or more innings pitched. The Fielders\u2019 Joe Palacios finished tied for fourth with teammate Tony Benavente as they registered similar 2.13 ERAs. Palacios allowed six earned runs in 25.1 innings, while Benavente gave up only three in 12.2 innings.<\/p>\n

Completing the pitching leaders list were the Yankees Manny Cabrera (2.25), the Tigers\u2019 Frankie Lieto (2.88), the Yankees\u2019 Kevin Kapileo (3.00), the Northern Starz\u2019s Ben Lizama, Jr. (3.94), and the Brewers\u2019 Thomas Camacho (4.15).<\/p>\n

Lieto, who led the ERA category twice, settled for the top honors in the strikeouts division with his 43. He foiled Cepeda\u2019s bid for a second individual award, as the latter collected only 36 strikeouts. Palacios and Camacho had 26 and 25, respectively.<\/p>\n

In the runs race, the Northern Starz\u2019s Lamarc Iguel and Omar shared first place after earning 15 each. They won over Northern Starz\u2019s Juan Iguel (14), Rogolifoi (14), and Diego Camacho (13). For the doubles contest, the trophy will go to the Tigers\u2019 Jesse Yamagishi, who gathered five doubles and placed ahead of Ton Leon Guerrero and Jared Sablan, who tallied four apiece.<\/p>\n

In triples, Saralu is the champion with two, beating 21 others who had only one each. Saralu is also the RBI king after earning 17 and defeating Jared Sablan (10), Brian Camacho (10), and Rogolifoi (9).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
