Marte Lotin had the second best record, with 3 wins and 3 losses. In the final game, BTL had a shaky start, as pitcher Mary Flowers walked the first 3 batters to load the bases in the bottom of the first inning. But BTL came up with some key defensive plays to escape the inning without Marte Lotin scoring any runs. The game remained scoreless until the bottom of the 4thinning when Marte Lotin finally broke the scoreless tie with a series of hits that led to 1 run being scored. The perennial floodgates could have easily swung open. With 2 outs and a runner on third, Derene Montejo made a spectacular diving catch to save a line drive and to end the inning.

Unfortunately for BTL, the bats were a bit too passive in this game, as they failed to score any runs. El Salvador?s Marte Lotin held on to win 1-0 and claim the gold.

Commendation to Team BTL on a job well done. Congrats also to Sherlene Banner, who received an award for her pitching, and Nerecia Rowland, who had the highest batting average of 0.625 (10 of 16).
