Negros Occidental won both the major and senior division titles at the recently-concluded 2017 Philippine Series in Dumaguete City.
The Negrense team took out Smokey Mountain in the finals of the major league division, winning 8-4 in six innings, following their 3-0 lead in the first. Going into the final inning, the eventual winners already earned a sizable 7-2 advantage.
Meanwhile, the Negros Occidental softball team also captured the senior division title, defeating Tanauan, 1-0, thanks to a final inning homerun.
Both teams will next proceed to Singapore where they will represent the country in the 2017 Girls Softball Asia Pacific Tournament from June 14 to 18.
Additionally, Little League Philippines and the Department of Education entered into a memorandum of agreement to jointly develop baseball and softball in the Philippines. PalarongPambansa will be essential in the development of a grassroots sports program./WDJ
