Lacson,
ETCS girls
gun for RP crowns
BY CEDELF TUPAS
Getting a huge lift from its standout pitcher, the combined squad of Domingo Lacson National High School and Education Training School International Little League of Manila took Game 1of its virtual best-of-three title series with a 9-1 triumph in the Junior League (13-14) competition in Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija.
Veronica Belleza typified the Bacolod-based squad's tenacity as she struck out 10 batters in a seven-inning job but it was her fine batting form that also fuelled the victory.
Belleza, a veteran of two Little League World Series
tournaments, followed up her solo homerun in the third inning with a
two-run homer in the fifth, where the DLNHS-ETCS team scored four runs.
Nerissa Benjamin also had a solo homerun in the fifth inning for DLNHS-ETCS,
which can clinch the crown and a World Series berth if they beat ILLAM
again today.
