PRESS RELEASE – In a rain drenched weekend the Jim Beam Amateur Baseball League managed to get the early Saturday game in before the 3pm game was suspended due to rain.  In the 12pm game the Chalan Pago Amigos would lose a 4-1 lead going into the 5th inning and 691 would come back to take down the defending champion Amigos 10-5 as they fight for one of the final playoff spots.

691 ends a six game losing streak with Strike Zone Player of the Game slugging a rbi triple in the 5th inning to tie up the game a two rbi triple in the 6th inning to give 691 the lead.

The Amigos would jump out to a 3-0 lead in the first inning against 691 starter Albert Alex.  Bruce San Nicolas would get things started with a one out single and steal second.  Alan and Zack Quintanilla would then load the bases with back to back walks and Florencio Binuya would clear the bases with an rbi double.

Amigo’s shortstop Aleton Mesngon would add another run in the bottom of the 2nd  motoring around the bases on a drive to the left field gap for an inside the park homerun giving the Amigos a 4-0 lead.

691 would answer in the top of the 3rd inning and get on the board with Luis Aguon walking and coming around to score on a double play groundout cutting the Amigos lead to 4-1.

691 would tie up the game 4-4 in the top of the 5th inning scoring three runs capped off by an rbi double by Georgy Katau.

The Amigos would answer in the bottom of the 5th with Mesngon again getting things started with a leadoff double, stealing 3rd and coming in to score on a rbi sac fly by Bruce San Nicolas to take back the lead 5-4.

In the top of the 6th 691 would break the game wide open scoring five runs with Georgy Katau again providing the big hit with a two rbi triple putting 691 on top 8-5.

691 starter Albert Alex would settle down after a rough first inning and finish the game allowing 5 earned runs and ten hits.  691 would add two runs in the top of the 7th inning and hold on for the big comeback 10-5 win.

Albert Alex picks up the win as 691 improves to 3-6 and holds the 8 seed for the playoffs.  The Amigos even their record at 5-5 and sit in the 5 seed with one regular season game remaining.
