Gesmundo’s big shot hands La Salle UAAP baseball marbles

In the 1994 winner-take-all UAAP baseball finale between Adamson University and University of Santo Tomas, Falcons catcher Eric Gesmundo sacked a two-run homerun in the ninth and last inning to hand then coach Filomeno “Boy ” Codiñera’ charges a 7-6 come-from-behind victory and the crown.

Twenty-five years later on Friday, the same scenario happened in the same historic, eight-decade-old Rizal Memorial ballpark with Gesmundo’s son Francisco “Kiko” Gesmundo as principal actor.
