| Game on Sunday (Rizal Memorial Baseball Stadium) 1 p.m. – Manila vs. Cebu Jon Jon Robles struck out six batters as Manila moved one away from capturing its third straight crown by defeating Cebu, 6-2, Saturday in Game 1 of the Baseball Philippines Series 8 finals at the Rizal Memorial Baseball Stadium. Robles controlled Cebu’s offense as he yielded seven hits and holding Cebu to two runs in an eight-inning start to move one win away from sweeping the best-of-three championship series of the league organized by Community Sports Inc. and sponsored by Rawlings and Gatorade. “We tried to put Jon Jon all game as soon as we can and he really did a good job controlling Cebu’s top batters,” said Manila coach Jhoel Palanog. The Sharks can wrap up the series on Sunday in Game 2 at 1 p.m. after the league also backed by Harbour Centre, The Heritage Park, Emperador Distillers, Philippine Transmarine Carriers, Victory Liner and Clark Development Corp. hand out the individual awards. The game was delayed for an hour due to rain but Manila scored quickly as former University of Mindanao standout Saxon Omandac doubled to score Francis Candela in the second inning while Christian Galedo crossed home plate on an error in the third. After Tino Ubungen pushed Cebu’s first run of the game to score Joseph Orillana in the top of the fifth, Manila quickly answered at the bottom of the fifth when Galedo grounded to left field to score Rommel Roja and Jarus Inobio advancing home on a sacrifice fly by Gian Llaguno. The Sharks added an insurance run in the seventh when Galedo scampered from third base to home plate on a fielders’ choice when catcher Ubungen made a throw to first base in an attempt to put out Nino Tator for a 5-1 lead. The Philippine Under-18 baseball team beat reigning UAAP champion University of Santo Tomas, 7-0, in the exhibition game.

Robles strikes out six batters as Manila defeats Cebu

Sharks down Patriots, gain finals
Two-time defending champion Manila made a return trip to the finals of Baseball
Philippines as it subdued Taguig, 2-0, behind another defensive gem in their
semifinal matchup in BP Series 8 at the Rizal Memorial Baseball Stadium
Saturday.
Pitchers Charlie Labrador and Jon Jon Robles yielded a combined five hits but
the Sharks’ fielders stranded eight runners to blank the Patriots and book the
first finals berth – and their fourth consecutive – in the league organized by
Community Sports Inc. and sponsored by Rawlings and Gatorade.
Marvin Malig’s RBI singles in the first and eighth innings proved to be enough
as pitching and defense did it for the Harbour Centre-backed Sharks in the
league backed by Harbour Centre, The Heritage Park, Emperador Distillers,
Philippine Transmarine Carriers, Victory Liner and Clark Development Corp.
“We had a hard time with Taguig’s defense and we haven’t played for almost a
month. But we will always depend on pitching and defense and that is what the
team showed,” said Manila coach Jhoel Palanog.
Taguig pitcher Justin Payongayong gave up seven hits in a complete game but the
Patriots failed to cash in on the other end in the face of the Sharks’ solid
defense. The Patriots had five hits and had seven runners in scoring position
but failed to draw the much-needed hits.
Jennald Pareja walked, reached second on a Nino Tator groundout and scored when
Malig blasted a hit to left center field to start off the game.
Pareja also scored off Malig’s hit in the eighth on a bloop single to left field
after the former singled, stole second and reached third on another single by
Christian Galedo.
