Like the previous nine times they crowned themselves “Queens of SEA Games Softball,” the Blu Girls hardly sweated it out. The Blu Boys, the Blu Girls’ male counterparts, weren’t as lucky, however, as coach Opring dela Cruz’s charges bowed to a mere superior Singapore, 5-1, in their separate winner-take-all title showdown hours later. Roa’s triple signaled the Blu Girls’ second inning binge as that near homer sent Vallestero leisurely jogging home. A costly miscue by the Indonesian leftfielder saw Roa and Gabriel following Vallestero across the plate. The Blu Girls’ title conquest of the 2019 women’s softball plum duplicated their predecessors’ winning, in 1979, 1981, 1987, 1991, 1997, 2005, 2007, 2011 and 2017, making them owners of 10 championships in team sports unbeaten.
