The game kicked off at 4PM with the visiting island team eager to secure a win in their second away game. The home team was no match for the Pirates, who dominated the game from the start. The Pirates’ strategy gave them an edge over the Bandits, who could not stop the visiting team from taking the lead. Moises Hernandez and Ian Pou were vital players contributing to the Pirates’ solid victory.
After their big victory, the San Pedro Pirates now sit in second place in the PLB standings with four points.

This weekend, the San Pedro Pirates will host their first home game of the season against powerhouse Verdes. The team has been preparing tirelessly for the highly anticipated match, which is expected to be very exciting for their fans. After taking a break in the 2023 season, the team is back with new management and players eager to give their all to the sport and hopefully bring home the championship trophy once again. In May 2019, the team made history by becoming the PLB’s Closing Season champions.
