MANILA--Titleholder Adamson University crushed University of the Philippines, 7-0, in six innings to stretch its remarkable winning run to 70 games on Monday in the UAAP softball tournament at the Rizal Memorial Baseball Stadium.
The Lady Falcons again drew big games from reigning MVP Queenie Sababo, Annalie Benjamen and Lorna Adorable to stay unbeaten in eight starts this season, four wins away from clinching another outright championship berth.
"70 na pala!'" said Adamson University coach Ana Santiago. "Bonus na itong winning streak. Yung ultimate goal pa rin namin is to win the championship."
The winning run which started by the Lady Falcons five years ago is the current longest in any sport.
Ateneo, meanwhile, ended a long 23-game losing skid, beating University of the East, 3-0, while University of Santo Tomas turned back National University, 7-0, in five innings to boost its semifinals bid.
