Space Burger repulses Mega
FORMER champion Space Burger ‘97A withstood a late rally by a resurgent Mega Sardines to hold on for a 94-88 win in their Sacred heart Alumni Basketball Association action Thursday night.
Space Burger, the 2002 champion, looked headed to another easy win after taking a 76-57 advantage after three quarters.
However, Jun Comeros fueled a late run by Mega Sardines as they narrowed the lead to single digits in the final period, but it was a little too late as time ran out.
The win upped Space Burger’s record to 9-2, while Mega Sardines dropped its 10th match in 11 outings for a woeful 1-10 record.
Defending champ
Chad Go paced Space Burger with 18 points, while Comeros had a game-high 31 points.
In the other match, Defending champion Fighter Wine relied on Chad Canares’ hot start for a 79-57 win over Gerry’s Grill ‘96B. Canares scored 17 of his 21 points in the first quarter as Fighter Wine took a 26-13 lead en route to a 46-25 advantage at the turn.
It was all Fighter Wine in the second half as it nailed its eighth win for an 8-3 mark, while Gerry’s Grill dropped to 2-9.
Canares’ 23 led Fighter wine, while John Go led Gerry’s Grill with 12 markers.
