The 670 Magas Babes and Asahi are this year’s champions in the 2025 Budweiser Belau Amateur Softball Association women’s and masters league.

The Babes seized the tiara in the women’s division with a sweep of the Batties in two straight games in the best-of-3 format. In the first game, they won, 10-3, and in the second, they clinched the title with a commanding 24-2 final.

Janice Celis was on fire in the circle, retiring batters left and right almost the entire first game—allowing just three runs on three hits. But before she locked in, she hit a rough patch, walking three straight batters in the top of the first. Those free passes turned into the only runs the Batties would get, as Celis quickly regrouped and shut them down the rest of the way.

On the other side, the Babes’ bats matched their pitcher’s heat. In game one, the top of the lineup—Amy Cabrera, Kiana Camacho, Rachel Salalila, and Cat Dela Cruz—got things rolling with back-to-back runs in the first inning. From there, the Babes piled on six more while holding the Batties scoreless.

Game two was more of the same: lights-out pitching and a hot-hitting spree. The Babes scored in every inning except the last two, with a huge six-run first inning followed by an eight-run explosion in the second.

When it came time for awards, Babes’ ace Janice Celis earned playoff MVP honors for silencing the Batties’ bats. Rachel Salalila claimed both regular season MVP and batting champ, going 24-for-37 with a blistering .649 average.

The runs scored champ was Virly Secharmidal with 21 runs; the doubles champ went to Cat Dela Cruz and Miyah Duenas with six each; home run champs were Amy Cabrera, Carey Demapan, Emy Oiterong, and Secharmidal with two each; RBI champs were Demapan and Dela Cruz with 23 each; earned run average champ was Celis with a 2.25 ERA; and strikeout champ was Ofing Shoking with 70.

Co-captain Erlinda Naputi said that she dedicated their win to her brother Frank, from Guam, who sponsored the team and named it after a team from Guam. “This is a very sentimental game for us… we dedicate this win to him, he passed away in February this year so, this is for him.”
