\"Northern\u00a0Stevedore Northern Yankees held it together and overcame defending champion St. Michael’s Medical Response Angels (2-1), 5-3, in Monday’s Saipan Major League matchup at the Francisco \u201cTan Ko\u201d Palacios Ballfield.<\/p>\n

In addition, the Tan Holdings’ Brewers pulled out a last inning, 6-5, rally thanks to a two-RBI walk off smash by Roy Celis to steal a win from Ol’Aces (1-1) last Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The season continues tonight at 6:30pm on Tan Ko Field with the Masters (0-1) taking on the D-9ers (0-1). The IP&E Fielders (1-2) make up the rest of the field.<\/p>\n

Yankees 5, Angels 3<\/strong><\/p>\n

Angels’ John Reyes broke the ice in the first inning with a double and scored off a wild pitch, but the Yankees knotted it back at 1-apiece in the bottom of the second off an RBI single by Chris Camacho.<\/p>\n

After a quiet third inning, Angels’ Reyes led off the fourth with a base hit and stole second and third base before swiping the plate to put his team back in the driver’s seat.<\/p>\n

Yankees pitcher Joshua Jones did a good job handling the rest of the Angels lineup and received some welcome help from his teammates to overcome the defending champions.<\/p>\n

Yankees’ David and Greg Camacho delivered a pair of clutch RBI singles to reclaim control, 3-2, in the bottom of the fifth inning.<\/p>\n

Angels leadoff man Marvin Kaipat reached off an error and scored off a suicide steal in the top of the sixth, but Yankees’ Jones had enough left in the tank to secure the win.<\/p>\n

Chris Camacho provided a pair of insurance runs with a base smash in the bottom of the eighth inning<\/p>\n

Reyes batted 3-for-4 and was the only player to get a hit off Yankees ace Jones, who went the distance and gave up two earned runs and a pair of walks with 20 strikeouts. Yankees’ Chris Camacho batted 2-for-3 with three RBIs and a hit-by-pitch.<\/p>\n

Brewers 6, O’lAces 5<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Brewers sprinkled a run in the first, third, and sixth innings before Ol’Aces hit the board.<\/p>\n

Brewers’ Manny Sablan doubled home Darren Pua in the opening frame. Pua came around again in the third off an error and Mike Pangelinan drove in Roy Celis with a base knock in the sixth inning.<\/p>\n

After coming up empty six times in a row, Ol’Aces somehow managed to seize the lead, 4-3, in the top of the seventh inning off three hits and a couple of errors.<\/p>\n

Juan Iguel doubled and then reached home off an error. Tyrone Omar and Mike Iguel bagged RBI singles and Charlie Wabol dinked in another run.<\/p>\n

After the uprising, the Brewers called Vince Cepeda to the mound to close the game, but Ol’Aces leadoff man Jesus Iguel answered with an RBI base rip that provided a 5-3 edge in the top of the eighth.<\/p>\n

Brewers’ Byron Kaipat drove in Roy Celis to pull the crew to within a run, 4-5, heading into the last inning.<\/p>\n

Ol’Aces closer Juan Maratita was just one away and plunked the ninth batter.<\/p>\n

He served up another bean ball and a base hit that loaded the bases before Roy Celis stepped in and pulled around on a walk-off two-RBI base smash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
