Mount Carmel School Knights put on their best dancing shoes and pranced past Chacha Ocean View Middle School, 15-14, in their game that was filled with rhythm, finesse, and dramatic twists and turns in the PSS-NMI Softball Association Interscholastic Boys Middle School Fast Pitch Softball League 2024-2025 last Saturday at the Dandan Middle School softball field.<\/p>\n

It takes two to tango and the Knights found themselves tangled up with a tough Lancherus team throughout the game. The Lancherus took the first step and scored nine runs for a huge 10-0 lead at the end of the top of the first inning.<\/p>\n

The Knights didn\u2019t bow just yet though as their offense replied quickly and erased COVMS\u2019 hard work after scoring eight consecutive runs to get within two, 8-10. The Lancherus then picked up their pitcher, Jayton Dela Cruz, with three runs in the second to extend their lead once more, 13-8.<\/p>\n

The Knights could only conjure up one run at the bottom of the second for a 9-13 game. However, after COVMS slipped and fell in order during the third inning, the Knights found their groove and choreographed a comeback that would leave the Lancherus breathless.<\/p>\n

MCS\u2019 Soli Maratita, Jaze San Nicolas, David Camacho, and Gunshiro Sasamoto all got on base with well-orchestrated hits and a walk, and saved their best moves for last.<\/p>\n

Leighton Tenorio stepped up to the plate and with one swing of the bat, he hit a homer that drew cheers and applause from their dugout and supporters as they turned the lead in their favor, 14-13. One more run would score from Donald Tagabuel and they boasted a two-run lead, 15-13.<\/p>\n

The pace quickened too fast for the Lancherus, but a solo shot by Kaipo Camacho kept them close, 14-15. However, they could not advance the rest of their baserunners, and with this misstep, the Knights\u2019 pitching staff drew the curtain on the Lancherus, holding on to secure a 15-14 victory.<\/p>\n

In other results that day, Tanapag Middle School Tatagas retained their undefeated record with a win over Francisco M. Sablan Middle School Napu Riders, 5-2; and Hopwood Middle School Hilitais trounced DMS, 11-7.<\/p>\n

Yesterday\u2019s games were postponed to a later date due to rain.<\/p>\n
