Air Force sweeps Summer Grand Slam

MANILA, Philippines - Philippine Air Force lived up to the hype and retained the men’s Open crown with a 3-1 victory over Philippine Army in the Cebuana Lhuillier-ASAPHIL Summer Grand Slam XI National Open Fast Pitch Softball Championships in Cabuyao City, Laguna last Sunday.

The Air Force batters capped their romp as they edged the Polytechnic University of the Philippines side, 1-0, in the finals of the men’s Club division of the week-long event which drew 46 of the country’s leading softball teams.

The women’s Philippine Youth team also shared the spotlight as it toppled powerhouse Adamson, 3-2, in a victory that augured well for the national squad’s buildup for various international competitions. Adamson was a replacement team for finalist University of the East.
