Sharks, Dolphins begin title showdown
Games on Saturday
(Rizal Memorial Baseball Stadium)
9 a.m. – UST vs. Phl U-18 team (exhibition game)
1 p.m. – Cebu vs. Manila
Manila and Cebu clash on Saturday in the opener of their best-of-three
series for Baseball Philippines Series 8 championship with odds just about even
between the league’s fancied teams.
The Sharks and the Dolphins split their previous faceoffs for the BP crown,
making their third encounter too close to call. Manila beat Cebu to bag the
Series 6 plum last year and avenge their setback in Series 2 finals in 2007.
The Dolphins edged the Sharks, 9-7, in their first round meeting this year,
handing the reigning back-to-back champions their only loss in Series 8. But
Manila got back at Cebu again, hacking out an 8-6 victory right at the Dolphins’
turf last June in the league’s first out-of-Luzon game.
The opener is set at 1 p.m. at the Rizal Memorial Baseball Stadium. Game 2 is
set tomorrow (Sunday) while Game 3, if necessary, will be on July 30, according
to the organizing Community Sports Inc. Game 1 will be aired on a delayed
basis on July 30, starting at 3 p.m. on NBN-4.
The Sharks are actually gunning for their third straight crown as they also beat
the Batangas Bulls in last year’s Series 7 finale of the tournament sponsored by
Rawlings and Gatorade and backed by Harbour Centre, The Heritage
Park, Emperador Distillers, Philippine Transmarine Carriers, Victory Liner and
Clark Development Corp.
Also on tap is an exhibition game pitting the Philippine Under-18 team against
UAAP champion University of Santo Tomas at 9 a.m.

Manila, Cebu arrange another clash for championship
Manila and Cebu arranged another clash for the championship after overcoming their foes Saturday in the semifinals of the Baseball Philippines Series 8 at the Rizal Memorial Baseball Stadium.
The two-time defending champion Sharks put up another defensive stand to defeat Taguig, 2-0, while the Dolphins scattered 15 hits to blow past Batangas, 9-2, to set up their third clash for the title in the league organized by Community Sports Inc. and sponsored by Rawlings and Gatorade.
.
Cebu and Manila split their two previous title showdowns with the Dolphins taking the Series 2 crown before the Sharks bagged the Series 6 crown.
Game 1 of the best-of-three championship series is set on Saturday at the Rizal Memorial Baseball Stadium.
Pitchers Charlie Labrador and Jon Jon Robles yielded a combined five hits as the Sharks’ fielders stranded eight runners on base to blank the Patriots to book a place into their fourth consecutive finals dating back to 2008 in Series 5.
Marvin Malig’s RBI singles in the first and eighth inning proved to be enough as pitching and defense did it for the Harbour Centre-backed Sharks.
Cebu’s Jonash Ponce, meanwhile, hit a two-run double in the second inning as the Dolphins put the game away with four runs in the sixth inning backed by a two-run double by Miggy Corcuera.
“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.
The league is also backed by are backed by Harbour Centre, The Heritage Park, Emperador Distillers, Philippine Transmarine Carriers, Victory Liner and Clark Development Corp.
Taguig starting pitcher Justin Payongayong had a complete game yielding seven hits but didn’t get the run support because of Manila’s fierce defense. The Patriots had five hits and had seven runners in scoring position (runner on second or third) but could not get the hits to put a run across.
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 was also the recipient of Malig’s run-scoring hit in the eighth on a bloop single to shallow left field after Pareja singled, stole second and reached third on a single by Christian Galedo.

Manila tries to finish off Alabang at resumption of their match that was rained out last May 8 as the Sharks try to formalize their hold of the top seeding in the semifinal round of Baseball Philippines Series 8 at Clark Field Parade Grounds in Pampanga today (Saturday, June 25).
The Sharks lord it over the field with an 8-1 slate, one game ahead of the Cebu Dolphins (7-2), and would want to firm up their hold of the lead with another victory in their 10 a.m. encounter with the also-ran Tigers (2-7).
Manila built an 8-4 lead in the fifth inning when play was halted due to rain.
If they keep the No. 1 spot, the Sharks will have a twice-to-beat advantage against the No. 4 team in the semis of the league organized by Community Sports Inc. and sponsored by Gatorade and Rawlings.
Cebu, meanwhile, battles Dumaguete in a crucial match at 1 p.m. in the second game of the sixth out-of-town offering of the league backed by Victory Liner, Clark Development Corporation, SM City Clark and San Miguel Corp.
Cebu remains in the hunt of the top spot since a victory by the Dolphins coupled by a loss by the Sharks would give Cebu the No. 1 seeding by virtue of a superior batting average.
