MANILA -- In their first encounter since the UAAP Season 86 softball Finals, Adamson University made sure that they continued to dominate their rivalry against the University of the Philippines.Adamson flexed its offense in a 12-4 rout of UP across six innings to stay undefeated in the UAAP Season 87 softball tournament on Saturday at the Rizal Memorial Baseball Stadium.Third-year third baseman Neomay Mahinay delivered a perfect 4-for-4 hitting performance, helping the 11-time reigning champions seize the solo lead ahead of their final first-round game.Moving up as the leadoff hitter, Mahinay answered the call, much to the delight of head coach Ana Santiago, who had been looking for improved offensive execution despite back-to-back abbreviated wins.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1741434137586UAAP87 SOFTBALL -ADU vs UP - ADU.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="The Adamson Lady Falcons against UP in the UAAP Season 87 softball tournament, March 8, 2025 at the Rizal Memorial Baseball Stadium.

UAAP Media</div>&quot;Ngayon, happy ako kasi sabi ko nga last time, siguro makukuha rin nila &#x27;yung momentum nila sa paluan. Ito nga, maganda &#x27;yung pinakita nila ngayon. Siguro kasi mas focused &#x27;yung training namin sa hitting, &#x27;yung lahat ng dapat naming i-adjust, in-adjust namin,&quot; said Santiago, also the concurrent RP Blu Girls head coach.Mahinay also contributed two RBIs and was at the plate when Adamson scored three of its four runs in the third inning, extending the lead to 8-3 and all but sealing the victory.&quot;Maganda lang nag-respond sila (sa adjustments). Namomroblema kasi ako the past two games, laging out ang aking first batter. Alam mo naman na ang first batter dapat madalas nakakatuntong agad. So, happy ako para kay Mahinay na nag-step up siya as one of the (seniors). Kailangang-kailangan kasi namin ngayon na may mag-step up talaga na &#x27;pag nasimulan talaga may susundan. So, hopefully, kung ano &#x27;yung ginawa namin, tuloy lang,&quot; the Adamson great added.Jane Marie Sigue made the most of her first-ever start for the Lady Falcons, limiting UP&#x27;s normally potent offense to just four hits and two earned runs in 2.2 innings.Season 85 Finals MVP Glory Alonzo then took over in the circle, allowing just a single hit from Martine Francisco while striking out two batters the rest of the way.Adamson will look to complete a first-round sweep when it faces the gritty De La Salle University Lady Batters (1-2) on Tuesday at 10 a.m.Meanwhile, UP will attempt to bounce back earlier that day at 8 a.m. against University of Santo Tomas (1-1), which is still playing Ateneo de Manila University as of publishing.The Fighting Maroons struggled offensively, with Francisco being the only player to record multiple hits, finishing with two.The Lady Falcons also applied defensive pressure, forcing UP into four errors—an uncharacteristic showing for a team that had committed none in their previous wins over Ateneo and La Salle.Joy Laurente took her first loss of the season after allowing eight runs—four of them earned—in the first three innings. She also surrendered five of Adamson&#x27;s 10 hits, while EM Viñas and Diane Pasco were responsible for the remaining four runs.Meanwhile, the match between the University of Santo Tomas and Ateneo de Manila University was halted at the bottom of the third inning due to rain.Chief umpire Jun Cruz made the call to suspend the game after an hour-long delay. The match will be rescheduled and restarted on a yet-to-be-announced date, as determined by event sub-host Adamson University.Tuesday&#x27;s schedule will proceed as planned, with UP facing UST at 8 a.m., followed by Adamson taking on De La Salle University at 10 a.m.<div></div>
