[Title] => Blu Boys rout Malaysians in Asian softball opener
[Summary] =>
KITA-KYUSHU, Japan — The Philippines outclassed Malaysia and came away with an abbreviated 7-0 rout as the Blu Boys opened their bid in the eighth Asian Men’s Softball Championship on a high note here Thursday.
Florante Acuña gave up only two hits while the Blu Boys clobbered the Malaysians with 10 hits en route to the one-sided victory on a sunny, cold day.
The Philippines hopes to sustain its romp as it faces Hong Kong and Singapore today. The Blu Boys are also scouting the Indonesians for a possible meeting in the next round.

[Title] => ‘RP men’s team suffered from overconfidence’
[Summary] => KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — If there’s anything Team Philippines had learned from its debacle in the men’s side of the just-concluded ASEAN Softball Championships here, it’s how to treat and respect its opponents.
"We were too confident," said RP softball chief and delegation head Harry Angping, referring to the Blu Boys’ sorry 3-5 loss to the Indonesians that spoiled the country’s title bid in the tournament which served as part of the country’s buildup for this year’s Southeast Asian Games in Manila.

[Title] => Blu Boys bow to Indons; Blu Girls unscathed
[Summary] => Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia — The Philippine Blu Boys took a shocking defeat to Indonesia, 3-5, in the ASEAN Softball Championship at the Victoria Institute grounds yesterday, making the Indons the biggest threat to the Filipinos’ bid for the gold in the Southeast Asian late this year in Manila.
The Blu Girls, however, made up for that sorry loss as they slammed the host Malaysians, 16-0, in a match shortened to just three innings due to the "mercy rule."

[Title] => Blu Boys, Girls off to big start
[Summary] => Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia — Team Philippines came up with a twin kill in an explosive start in the rain, trouncing Thailand, 8-1, in the men’s event and Singapore, 7-0, in the women’s side — in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations Softball (ASEAN) Championships at old Victoria Institute grounds here.
Florante Acuña pitched a one-hitter in a no-relief job as the Blu Boys smashed the Thais in a game delayed for more than an hour due to incessant rains.

[Title] => Blu Boys bigo pero may pag-asa pa sa titulo
[Summary] => Buong giting silang nakipaglaban subalit kinapos pa rin ang RP Blu Boys sa bandang huli at hinayaan ang Japan na maipuslit ang 9-2 panalo, na naggawad dito ng unang upuan sa kampeonato ng 7th Asian Men’s Softball Championships kahapon sa Rizal Memorial Stadium.
Seryoso sa kanilang misyong makopo ang koronang huli nilang nahawakan noong 1990, ang Blu Boys ay ngipin-sa-ngiping nakipagsabayan sa mga Japanese sa unang 5 inning subalit nabigo silang sustenahan ito sa kasunod na frame, na nagbigay ng pagkakataon sa bisita para iposte ang abbreviated win na ito.

[Title] => Japanese, RP clouters stay on track
[Summary] => The Philippines made short work of India yesterday, 7-0, but it was defending champion Japan that made the biggest noise by whipping Indonesia, 14-0, in the seventh Asian men’s softball tournament at the Rizal Memorial ballpark.
The Blu Boys entered the morning game still fresh from a similar 7-0 win over the Iranians the other day and only needed five innings in beating the Indians for their second straight regulated victory in the eight-nation tournament last held in 1998.
