This team will be responsible for representing Tinian in future goodwill baseball events with Saipan, Guam and Japan. The sponsoring of this team will encourage inter-island commerce and establish goodwill with other islands and other countries such as Japan.  I look forward to our Tinian Monarchs representing Tinian proudly.  I know this team will bring our entire island great publicity of our culture and our friendliness,&#8221; said Mayor Francisco Borja said.<\/p>\n<p>All interested and experienced baseball players are asked to show up to practice at the Tinian Baseball Field Complex Monday through Friday 5:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m.  Players will be judged on skill, experience and attitude. The Tinian Monarchs roster will be limited to only 20 players.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, please contact coach Eugene Villagomez at 433-2042.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The island of Tinian is announcing open tryouts for their Tinian all-star baseball team, the Tinian Monarchs .
