CEBU WINS SECOND PHILIPPINES LEAGUE PENNANT

Joseph Orillana pitched a shutout while driving in the game’s only run with a suicide squeeze bunt to lead the Cebu Dolphins to a 1-0 win over the Dumaguete Unibikers last Sunday, giving the Dolphins their second Baseball Philippines pennant in four seasons. Cebu defeated Dumaguete, 4-3, last Saturday in Game One of the best-of-3 championship series.

The 28-year-old Orillana, a former college MVP, allowed just four hits en route to winning top player honors for both the regular season and playoffs. Orillana was 4-1 with a 1.32 ERA while turning in a .461 batting average for the Dolphins. Baseball Philippines plays two schedules per year, with one spring season and one fall season annually. Cebu becomes the first BP team to win more than one pennant.
