The Manila Sharks trailed two runs in the first two innings, but scored five runs in the next two to eventually pull an 8-3 win over the Laguna Tigers in the second game of the Baseball Philippines Pilot Series at the Rizal Memorial Baseball Stadium.
The Sharks took the lead in the third inning. Catcher Rommel Roja connected on an RBI single scoring shortstop Christian Galledo, as Jake Ilao scored on a fielding error. Then, Tator scored on a sacrifice fly by Justin Torio for a 3-2 lead, rattling the Tigers' starting pitcher Fernando Badrina.
Manila added the score to 5-2 in the fourth, as Galledo hit a run scoring single while Tator scored Gallego on a double.
Tator had two RBI's, going 3-for-3, while Gallego also ended up collecting two RBI's on two hits in four at-bats.
This put less pressure on pitcher Charlie Labrador, who after giving up a run each in the first and second, went on to finish the game with five strikeouts and allowed one unearned run, and left nine bases.
Labrador was threatened in the seventh inning, as he was put in a bases loaded jam with two outs. But, he forced first baseman Alejandro Velasquez to a groundout to end the inning still with a three-run advantage.
The Sharks put the Tigers near the jaws of defeat in the top half of the eighth, scoring three runs for an 8-2 edge. Rey Bangayan and Justin Zialcita scored on an error while Tator drilled a double to center with Galledo giving Manila its eighth run of the contest.
Laguna's first two runs came in the first, on a Velasquez hit to center that put Christopher Jimenez at home plate from second, and Jimenez's run scoring single for a 2-0 lead.
Manila's Justin Zialcita went 3-for-3 as well, after replacing Jarus Inobio in the fourth inning.
