The Northern Yankees finally showed what they\u2019re capable of after beating Kautz Glass Glazers, 12-2, last Monday in the Saipan Major League at the Francisco M. Palacios Baseball Field.<\/p>\n
The Glazers quickly got on the scoreboard in the top of the first inning as lead off batter Eric Lizama reached base on a single. <\/p>\n
He later scored courtesy of a single by Ron Benavente.<\/p>\n
The Yankees countered in the bottom half of the inning as they scored 2 runs. With two outs in the inning, Robert Bansil reached base on a single. Bansil would then steal second and third, and later scored on a wild pitch by Glazers pitcher Hans Pua. <\/p>\n
Pua would then walk slugger Greg F. Camacho, which brought hotshot Mel Sakisat to the plate. Sakisat would then smash a Pua fastball for a triple, enabling Camacho to score.<\/p>\n
The Yankees would post another run on the board in the second inning to take a 3-1 lead. Sid Camacho started the inning by drawing a walk, and eventually scored after right fielder Alvin Salas connected for a double.<\/p>\n
The Yankees broke the game wide open in the third inning as five players crossed home plate for a commanding 8-1 lead. <\/p>\n
With the bases full, Sakisat stepped up to the plate and once again proved to be dangerous as he hit a 2-run single. Both Mike Guerrero and Bansil scored on the play. Nick Guerrero would follow by slapping another single for the Yankees, enabling Greg Camacho to score.<\/p>\n
Sakisat would then score on a wild pitch, while Guerrero stole home for the final run of the inning.<\/p>\n
The Glazers finally scored another run in the fifth inning as Eric Kani scored on a sacrifice fly by John Acosta.<\/p>\n
The Yankees weren’t satisfied with their lead as they exploded for four more runs in the seventh inning. Greg F. Camacho started off by smacking a double off Kani, who came in relief of Pua in the third inning.<\/p>\n
Sakisat followed and finished off his perfect night at the plate with a triple, which drove in Camacho. He would later score on a throwing error by second baseman Bill Quitano. <\/p>\n
Sid Camacho would then hit a solid single, driving in Nick Guerrero. Pat Camacho would then score the final run on a fielder\u2019s choice. <\/p>\n
By then the Yankees had already posted a 10-run lead, and were named the victors as the 10-run rule came into effect.<\/p>\n
Yankees ace pitcher Chris Camacho went the distance allowing only 2 runs on eight hits, while striking out 3.<\/p>\n
Sakisat went 4-for-4 at the plate and scored twice and drove in 4 runs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
