Eddie Manigos pitched well for Panabo City-Abujos Phoenix Fuels to blank host University of Mindanao-Main, 13-0 at the start of the 2008 Mayor Rodrigo R. Duterte and Vice Mayor Inday
Sara Open Softball Tournament, Sunday, at the University of Mindanao Matina Campus.

Manigos shut down all of UM's batters with his spectacular pitching that remained a puzzle to the young Davao City batters.

Panabo City assembled its veteran players led by Carmelo Bastida against a young squad headed by pitcher Ryan Sarabia. The young players failed to find the remedy on Manigos' pitching prowess and their errors made matters worst.

In the other game of the tournament organized as part of the 71st Araw ng Dabaw Sports Festival, the Matina Boys dealt the Digos City a 20-10 stoppage.

The Matina Boys worked on their pitching and better defense to crush the visiting squad from Davao del Sur.

Games will resume next Sunday, according tournament director Joaquin "Boy" Sarabia.
