ALCANTARA — Fifth seed Dumaguete leaned on Ronald Roy and Jaybie Mantilla late to stun fourth-ranked Tabogon in overtime, 67-65, in the stepladder playoffs of the Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup, Saturday at the Civic Center here in Cebu.
It was a fiercely fought match that saw players from both sides get bruised, battered, and even bloodied. However, in the end, it was Dumaguete that came out on top to earn the right to take on the ARQ Builders Lapu-Lapu in a do-or-die game on Sunday for the last semifinals ticket.
Tied at 63-all in the extra session, Roy knocked in a booming triple from the right-wing to shove Dumaguete ahead, 66-63, with 1:37 left in the game. Tabogon then pulled to within one, 65-66, after Jethro Sombero and Harold Arboleda split their trips to the charity stripe.
