Adamson earns 9th UAAP softball finals appearancehome/Sports/Top Sports/Adamson earns 9th UAAP softball finals appearanceAn outhit defending titlist Adamson University found National University a hard nut to crack, settling for a close 2-1 victory in their one-game, winner-take-all semifinal round encounter on Saturday to earn its place in the championship playoff for the UAAP women’s softball tiara at the Rizal Memorial Stadium. The Lady Falcons’ one-hit, one-run salvo at the bottom of the fourth proved enough for coach Ana Santiago’s girls to snatch their ninth Finals stint since 2010. The nine-peat-seeking Lady Falcons, thus, wait for the outcome of the other Final Four showdown between La Salle and University of Santo Tomas. La Salle and UST will dispute the last finals berth when they meet anew today at the same venue. Second base-girl Mary Joy Maguad sacrificed Padasas to second from where the Lady Falcons’ shortstop scampered home on a single by rightfielder Janette Rjusia.
