Clouters enter finals vs Thais

-
The Philippines easily repeated over Myanmar, 9-1, yesterday to advance to the finals against Thailand in the 23rd SEA Games baseball competition at the Rizal Ballpark.

The RP IX yielded a run on base on ball then a couple of errors in the third inning but countered with a four-run splurge in the next inning and never looked back for a fifth straight win in the tourney.

In the other semis game, Thailand bounced back from a 0-10 beating by the Philippines Friday with a 12-4 shellacking of Indonesia to set up a title collision with the host team.

The Filipinos and the Thais clash in the title match at 1 p.m. today. At 9:30 a.m., Myanmar and Indonesia fight for the bronze medal.

Myanmar’s Kyaw Kyaw Tun scored on an error by catcher Raul Roja for the icebreaker in the upper-third.

RP coach Edgar Reyes said the error couldn’t have happened had Korean umpire Chun Jung Hyun not mistaken his substitution call for a timeout.

"He thought I was requesting for a timeout and he refused when in fact I was asking for a substitution," said Delos Reyes. — Bimbo Santos
