Despite the lost during the MANSAC Friday night games last August 29, 2008 at ISM against ISM and Faith the boys were able to have a good come back winning both of their LSMS games against LPC (Las Piñas College) and De La Salle Zobel.
Tommy Gray & Robbie Quimson came away with a flurry of hits and were able to outsmart their opponents. The JV boys won the 1st game vs. LPC and never looked back and won another one against De La Salle-Zobel wining both games in 3 straight sets.
Warren Carman & Santiago Elizalde took care of setting good sets to their hitters namely the Captain Miguel Caruncho. Joma Ejercito and Kyle Sutherland were able to contribute with several aces.

Brent Lion Baseball Update
The Brent Lion baseball team suffered their first loss of the season in a very hard fought game against Ateneo on Saturday losing by a score of 7-6. The game was a back and forth affair with the lions clawing their way back and tying the score on a host of different occasions.
The Lions were led offensively by Ben Cope who was two for four with a double and a single from the plate. Two other Lions got hits with Seba Martinez-Miranda hitting a single up the middle earning him one RBI. Mark Ong got in the mix as well hitting a monstrous double to straightaway center field to start the fourth inning. While Yujiro Iida earned one RBI scoring Mark Ong later in the same inning on a ground ball to the short stop.
Defensively the Lions did a stellar job in the field with multiple players coming up huge. Mark Ong made an incredible diving catch in the third inning on a hard hit line drive up the middle. While Bam Garcia did a great job behind the plate blocking many pitches that stymied the Ateneo base runners. Ritchie Sarabia also played solid defense at first base making several great catches on balls that were in the dirt.
The Lions continue UBL action next Saturday at 11:30 am against De La Salle Zobel at Ateneo.
