REIGNING National Open and University Athletic
Association of the Philippines champion University of the
Philippines swept its first two games in abbreviated fashion to
share early lead in the National Capital Region women’s softball
elimination of the Philippine Olympic Festival Thursday at the
Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) ground.
The Lady Maroons needed only 3
innings in shutting out host PUP, 15-0, thanks to the 1-hit job of
Alex Zuluaga. They proceeded to deal Pasig the same overwhelming
beating, 20-0, in just four frames with Girlie Ongpin manning the
mound.
The twin victories put the Lady
Maroons on equal footing with Team Manila, idle University of the
East and Rizal Technological University at 2-0.
The Asia Pacific
championship-bound Manileñas posted an 8-1 win over La Salle to
follow up their 38-0 massacre of Pasig City during Wednesday’s
opener of the 21-under tournament managed by the Amateur Softball
Association of the Philippines and organized by the Philippine
Olympic Committee.
