Northern Yankees, meanwhile, captured the championship of the Big League following its 5-2 victory over Ol\u2019Aces last June 12 at the Francisco M. Palacios Baseball Field.<\/p>\n
Faulkner, for its part, upset favored Team 9 to bag first place in the 5th Annual Coors Light Co-ed Beach Volleyball League last Tuesday at the Pacific Islands Club sand court.<\/p>\n
In golf, Glenna Palacios and Ben Jones won the members and guests divisions, respectively, of the Philippine Independence Day Golf Tournament held last July 12 at the Coral Ocean Point Golf Course.<\/p>\n
The same day in the same sport, the team of Steve Nygard, Joe \u201cKamikaze\u201d Camacho, Charles Cepeda, and Alex Sablan corralled the Northwest Airlines 60th Commemorative Golf Tournament at the Lao Lao Bay Golf Resort.<\/p>\n
