The preseason favored Dodgers are back on their winning ways in the 2022 Guam Major League, handing the UOG Tritons their first loss of the season 5-2 Sunday night at the Paseo Stadium.

Shane Muna had three of the Dodgers nine hits. Ryan Martinez went 2-for-4 with 2 RBI while Shon Muna, Jr. and Matt Muna added run-scoring hits. Glenn Palomo was steady on the mound for the win.
Ryan Martinez led the Tritons with two hits. Despite the loss, pitcher O’Neil Yobech struck out eight.
