The Philippine tot baseball team today became champions in the Mustang division of the Asia-Pacific pony baseball tournament here in Vinh Yen stadium (about 50 km outside of Hanoi). The mustang division is for youngsters 9 to 10 years old. They defeated Singapore during the championship game this morning, 14 homeruns to to 5. Indonesia placed third and Vietnam placed fourth.
Nine-year old John Natanuan was awarded most valuable player for the Mustang division. It was a come-from-behind victory as the PHL team was down 5 runs to 1 in the early innings but bounced back and scored 8 runs in succession in the latter stages of the 6-inning game.
