UAAP Media</div>MANILA -- University of Santo Tomas secured its first win in the UAAP Season 88 baseball tournament on Sunday, overcoming De La Salle University 10-6 at the Rizal Memorial Baseball Stadium in Malate, Manila.The Golden Sox were coming off a narrow 7-6 loss to Adamson in their opening game.Against La Salle, they added insurance runs in the seventh and eighth innings on their way to a 1-1 win-loss slate. UST held a precarious two-run lead at 5–3 before adding three hits in the seventh inning to extend the advantage to four.Marvin Trillana started the rally with a booming single to center field. Ken Madrid followed with a double to left, and Sean De Leon delivered a single down the right-field line, bringing home Erjohn Gallos, Janssen Fernandez, and Madrid.Another run in the eighth inning—UST’s last at-bat—came off a single by Charlie Belgar, who replaced Ybbrahim Degollacion, scoring John Carlo Beronilla.&quot;Sabi ko sa mga bata, kayang-kaya naman nila. Na-pressure lang sila nung nakaraang game. So, kung hindi naman sila ma-pressure, kaya nilang mag-deliver. Buti makita naman ang pinapakita ng pitcher at nagkokonekta na kaya nanalo kami,&quot; said long-time head coach Jeff Santiago.Trillana led UST’s offense with three hits, while Gallos contributed two hits that produced two runs in the first and third innings.De Leon came off the bench to deliver two RBIs with the single that sealed the win for the Golden Sox.Irvin Llave anchored the mound for UST with 6.2 strong innings, allowing only two runs and two hits in his first start of the season before handing over to relievers.Santiago stressed the need for continued improvement, beginning with Wednesday’s game against the University of the Philippines at 7 a.m.&quot;Marami pang kailangang mag-improve, especially malalakas ang mga susunod na kalaban. Yung pagdating sa pressured situation, bumibigay pa ang mga bata. Gusto ko mas tumibay pa &#x27;yung loob nila; &#x27;yun ang gagawan namin ng paraan,&quot; added the seasoned mentor.La Salle attempted a late comeback, scoring four runs in the seventh and eighth innings, but it wasn’t enough as they fell to a 1–1 record.Liam De Vera bounced back from a slow start with two hits and two RBIs, while Pio Villamniel matched him with two RBIs of his own.The Green Batters out-hit the Golden Sox, 13–11, but their pitching staff—five pitchers in total—could not stop the Golden Sox when it mattered most.La Salle will look to return to winning form when it faces rival Ateneo de Manila University in Wednesday’s third and final game of the series.

University of Santo Tomas secured its first win in the UAAP Season 88 baseball tournament on Sunday, overcoming De La Salle University 10-6 at the Rizal Memorial Baseball Stadium in Malate, Manila.
