PHL crushes Vietnam in PONY baseball zone c'ships

The Philippine Pony baseball team moved two wins away from earning a world championship slot after cruising to a 26-3 win over host Vietnam in Day 2 of the PONY Baseball Asia-Pacific Zone Championship at Vin Yen baseball field in Vinh Phuc Province, Vietnam.

Philippine pitchers Javy Limpo and Marty Ranada threw an array of pitches that kept the Vietnamese batters guessing, as the visiting squad scored its second lopsided win in the four-nation, single elimination round robin tournament.

The Filipino batters also had their share and continued their hitting streak after a 13-3 rout of Singapore in their opening game.

The Philippine team, competing in the Mustang Division and known as the Little Razcals, will end its single elimination round campaign against Indonesia, which suffered a 12-2 loss to Singapore in the other contest.

The champion will represent the Asia-Pacific region in the World Championship in August in Texas. - JVP, KY, GMANews.TV
