Baseball Philippines’ Series 5 will open Easter Sunday, April 12, with the Cebu Dolphins hoping for a third straight championship. Baseball Philippines teams play in two tournaments a year: One in the spring and another in the fall.
Cebu’s lineup remains largely unchanged from 2008’s two championship teams, with Series 4 MVP Joseph Orillana back for another tournament. The versatile Orillana has the ability to dominate a game either on the mound or at the plate. He’ll be joined in the Dolphins lineup by Miggy Corcuera, one of the most-feared power-hitters in the Philippines.
Teams expected to challenge Cebu include the Dumaguete Uni-Bikers, who lost to the Dolphins in last fall’s finals with star pitcher Darwin dela Calzada; and the Batangas Bulls, BP’s Series 3 champions who have ace lefty Vladimir Eguia and former MVP Virgilio Roxas.
