Adamson seeking to clinch UAAP softball title today

Game today at the Rizal Memorial Baseball Stadium: 9 a.m. – UP vs Adamson (Game 2 of softball finals)

Adamson University can claim its fifth straight championship in UAAP softball later this morning, if they win Game 2 of their finals matchup against the University of the Philippines at the Rizal Memorial Baseball Stadium.

Fresh from their 6-0 victory on Tuesday, the softbelles from San Marcelino are now on a 61-match winning streak, although head coach Ana Santiago foresees some adjustments will have to be made in order to extend the streak to 62.

Santiago believes that the team needs to play at a higher level to claim the school's 14th crown in this sport, and at the same time, prevent UP from having any possible headway. Her Diliman counterpart, Kiko Diaz, believes that they "will bounce back," and to do so will need to take things one inning at a time.

The Maroons did manage to push the game into the final inning, something that has never been done this season against the defending champions, although they could not get anything going offensively due to the performance of Annalie Benjamen. The reigning MVP's pitches proved to be a dicey disposition, netting twelve strikeouts.

This game will be televised on Sports+Action this Friday, with time TBD.
