Arren Yatar proved once again to be arguably the best pitcher in the league, earning the win and striking out seven in a complete game performance.

John Salas, Jr. went 2-for-4 for the youngsters as they wrap up their GML competition before heading to Saipan for the Pacific Mini Games which starts this weekend.

Both teams came in at 6-2 and both were riding four-game win streaks. The Dodgers proved to be the much better team with a 10-run rule win.

Ryan Martinez and Mike Concepcion led the 16-hit attack with three hits each, Concepcion just a home run shy of the cycle. Randy Alcantara added a pair of hits as well.

Derwin Aguon struck out eight in six innings of work to get the win for the Dodgers.

“Even though our season got off to a rough start we always show to the ballpark with the mentality that we’re the team to beat,” said Dodgers catcher Mike Bautista. “We are such a tightknit team, we’re way more than teammates – we’re family. Having lost our captain’s dad and another one of us’ dad suffering a stroke over the weekend, a season means much more than just a game to us. We’re on a mission.”
