TORTOLA—The Latinos came out hot and suddenly their bats cooled, then they watched the Braves scored 12 unanswered runs during Sunday night’s 12-7 victory in the Arnold “Foxy” Barronville softball league at the Old Recreation Grounds.

The Latinos sent 13 batsmen to the dish to open the game, chasing starter Sirron Scattliffe in the process after scoring seven runs. Scatliffe only got two outs before Lionel Hodge came in to quell the eruption and pitched 5-1/3 innings of 2-hit ball to get the victory while striking out five. Dwayne Davies who was relieved by Kelvin Solomon in the fourth, suffered the defeat.

The Braves’ 12 runs came from 6 hits, 3 errors and 5 left on base. The Latinos had 7 runs, 8 hits, 5 errors and 6 left stranded. Santa Hernandez was the Braves’ top hitter with a 3-for-3 game.

Latinos’ Alfredo Dorsett and Angel Rosario went 2-for-3 respectively with each scoring a run. Dorsette drove in two and Rosario one.

Defending women’s champions Warriors pulled into a three way tie with the Rams and Lady Braves, after sending the Panthers to their fourth straight loss, 13-11. Cassie Stoutt struck out six to get the victory while Chevaunne Richardson fanned four but walked nine in a losing effort.

The Warriors finished with 13 runs, 10 hits, 6 errors and 7 left stranded. The Panthers’ 7 runs came off 11 hits, 3 errors and 7 left on base.
