UV jrs. crush Baby Warriors

CEBU, Philippines - The PTT Fuels-UV Baby Lancers pounded on San Marino Corned Tuna-USC Baby Warriors in the fourth period to pull off a 67-50 victory in the 4th CESAFI Partner's Cup at the Cebu Coliseum.

Earlier, the Ave Maria/USJ-R Baby Jaguars scored their second straight victory at the expense of the Prime Asia-DBTC Greywolves, 72-67.

The Baby Lancers started pulling away late in the third period, but the Baby Warriors didn't give up and came closer, 37-42.

After a series of ball possessions, the Baby Lancers promptly found their range and in contrast, the Baby Warriors' scoring gone sour that they would even miss point-blank lay-ups as time winding down.

The Baby Lancers led by 20 points, 65-45, in the final two minutes which was also the same time when two Baby Warriors suffered a minor ankle sprain.

Francisco Arong, Jr. has 12 points for the Baby Lancers.

Clint Muñez, on the other hand, helped in lifting the Baby Jaguars to victory with 20 points. Benjie Trozo added 11 markers as they notched their second straight win in as many starts.
