De La Salle University salvaged some pride as it defeated Labandera Tanauan City, 8-4, to take home third place honors in the PABA Youth Baseball tournament at the Rizal Memorial Baseball Stadium.
The Green Batters scored three runs in the sixth inning to take the lead for good, and added two more runs for the final tally.
Trailing 4-3, with one out in the top half of the sixth, catcher Migo Baroque reached base on an error before going all the way to third on a double by left fielder Chris Tingzon.
After Gio Tamula succumbs to a strikeout, Baroque and Tingzon scored after Nico Uichico touched first base on a fielding error for a 5-4 advantage.
Marco Alquros then hit a double to centerfield scoring Uichico for a 6-4 count.
DLSU pulled away in the eighth, as Robert Canlas blasted a left field double to sent two runners home for the four-run margin.
The win gave the nearby Green Batters a consolation prize, after losing four of their last five games following an early 3-0 start in the tournament.
For Tanauan, it was a disappointing final two-week stint in the tournament after ending the elimination round with a clean 7-0 record and was considered as favorites to go all the way to the championship round.
DLSU opened the first frame with two runs on a Ervic Vijandre double, scoring leadoff hitter Uichico from third, followed by a hit to left field by the bulky first baseman Miggy Corcuera, scoring Uichico.
Tanauan, though, answered with single runs in the bottom half of the first and third innings, before claiming the lead in the fifth inning.
Trailing by a run, Kenneth Natividad went on a double to center, and then reached third following a groundout. Aries Oruga followed it up with a single scoring Natividad. Two batters later, Paul John Arcega drove in Oruga from second for a 4-3 lead.
