Softbol Veteranos Season 12 Week 3
In the third week of the 12th Veterans League edition of the Project: “Softball, Quality of Life,” the Elephants (Veterans 1) continued their dominant march. With another Sunday doubleheader sweep, they solidified their early lead at the top of the standings, boasting a strong 5-1 record and a commanding three-game cushion over the competition.
Meanwhile, the Shrimpers (Veterans 3) found themselves stuck in a rut, dropping both games for the second consecutive week. Their back-to-back setbacks, combined with the Jagua (Veterans 2) splitting their doubleheader, created a logjam for second place. Both teams now sit at 2-4, trailing far behind the streaking Elephants.
Despite the lopsided standings, the games themselves were tightly contested. The first two matchups were decided by just two runs, while the third saw a three-run difference — a testament to the competitive spirit of the league.
A standout performance came from the reappearing right-handed pitcher Manuel “El Sanga” Leiva Rojas, who delivered a clutch victory for the Jagua against the Shrimpers. His sharp command and poise on the mound were instrumental in halting the Jagua’s slide.
Defensively, all teams put in an admirable effort, with performances that showed grit and determination. As the Elephants charge ahead, the rest of the league faces an uphill battle to close the gap and challenge the early leaders. Stay tuned as the drama unfolds in the coming weeks!
