Falcons one win away from UAAP baseball diadem

A mighty four-hit, four run rampage in the first inning carried Adamson University to an abbreviated seven-inning 14-4 rout of favored La Salle Tuesday opening the two-teams’ best-of-three title series for the UAAP men’s baseball championship at the Rizal Memorial Stadium.

The Falcons’ third baseman Gerald Riparip, pitcher Jerome Yenson, rightfielder Lester Carandang and first baseman Raymond Matic feasted on Archers’ starter Francis Gesmundo with a single each in what came as Adamson’s strongest start this season with all, including lead-off man Erwin Bosito, reaching home.
