The squad from Kagman 1-2-3 came within a couple of innings of winning their fourth game at the Oleai Sports Complex on Thursday night, as they let a 5-5 tie slip away from them in the bottom of the fifth inning against the D-9ers to lose their 11th game of the season, 12-8.<\/p>\n
To their credit, the homesteaders fought hard to rally back from a 5-1 deficit, as they railed off four runs in the top of the third inning to cinch the game at a nickel apiece. Unfortunately for the Kagman squad, the D-9ers were unfazed, and struck back with three runs in the bottom of the fifth inning and four in the sixth to finish the job.<\/p>\n
Catcher Jonathan Tenorio led the charge for the boys from the ninth district, as he went 3-for-4 at the plate, knocked in five runs, and crossed the plate for a score in the bottom of the fifth. Shortstop Mel Sakisat also provided plenty of lift for the D-9ers, as the All-Star went 3-for-4 at the plate with a pair of doubles, a triple, two runs batted in, and a pair of plate crossings. Teammate Roy Celis equaled their mark of 3-for-4 at the plate, and added a pair of doubles, a single, two scores, and a run batted in, for good measure.<\/p>\n
Overall, the D-9ers scored 12 runs off of 15 hits in six rounds of work at the plate. They maintained their second spot in the standings and improved their record to 10-3, while Kagman 1-2-3 dropped to 3-11.<\/p>\n
After the combination of foul weather and the ejection of the C-Bees Four from the league threw a monkey wrench into the schedule, the rough and tumble world of fast pitch softball returns to the confines of the Oleai Sports Complex next week Tuesday. Kagman 1-2-3 (3-11) has one game left, the D-9ers (10-3) and Sluggers (6-7) have two games remaining, and the Islanders (3-9) have a trio of contests left on the table before the playoffs can get underway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
