A big high school baseball showdown managed to squeeze in between the weekend’s wind and rain.
The Southern Dolphins and GW Geckos slugged it out in Mangilao with the Dolphins taking advantage of numerous Geckos errors to escape with an 11-10 win.
After a scoreless first inning, both teams lit up the scorebook as Southern outscored GW 7-5 in the second inning alone.
The damp field conditions caused a host of walks as well.
Trailing 11-10 in the bottom of the final inning, defending league MVP Ashton Tedtaotao was unable to drive in the tying run at second after lining out to the right side of the infield for the final out.

Guam’s Wayne Blas completed his 13th Boston Marathon and 38th marathon overall.
The island’s record holder in the distance, Blas finished this year in 2:35:21.
“I’m very happy with this result because seven months ago, I was sidelined with a stress fracture that kept me out for three months. No running! To come back on an abbreviated marathon build and finish one of the toughest races strong and healthy was a big win for me.”
His time of 2:29:38 at the 2023 Chicago Marathon and World Marathon Majors Age Group Championships stands as the Guam National Record.
