UAAP: Green Batters overpower NU on opening day

The DLSU Green Batters won by a large margin against the UP Fighting Maroons, 19-5, last January 25 in the Rizal Memorial Stadium.

The Green Batters started off strong, swiftly getting an 8-point lead for as early as the first inning, 9-1, by La Salle’s Franco Hashimoto, Carlos Laurel, Carlos Muñoz, Dino Imperial, Pocholo Dominguez, Paolo Salud, and Paul Naguit.

UP attempted to rally but was only successful in getting three more runs by the fifth inning. DLSU scored another eight runs, seven of which were from the fifth inning, which gave them a 17-4 lead entering the sixth.

The match went on with the momentum never leaving the Taft-based squad as they brought two of their runners home while the Fighting Maroons scored an additional run for themselves. The match was concluded by mercy rule in favor of DLSU, 19-5.

Looking to bag another win, the Green Batters will face NU Bulldogs at 7am this coming Thursday, January 29, in the Rizal Memorial Stadium.
