Last year’s champion Peched Raw outshone the Surangel Suns, 88-85, on Monday night to open its second round campaign in Division I of the 2007 Shell NBL at the Palau National Gymnasium.
Ojay scored 25 points to lead four others in double digits that also included Weston Ketebengeang with 20, Russ 18 and Joe 15.
Alvin Soguilon led the suns with 19 while Andy Johnson and Arnold Undecino had 18 apiece.
Also on Monday night, the Rivals shelved the Ididers, 96-81 with Spis Gordon coming up with 32 points for the win.
On Wednesday night, the Breakers humiliated Meda, 92-85, in a game marked by a technical foul due to unsportsmanlike conduct.
Ryu Richards led the Breakers with 26 points.
Meda’s main gunner Ziske Asanuma was called for a technical foul after kicking the officials’ table when the game was going tough in the crucial part of the fourth quarter.
Before that, the Ikelauans defeated the Ranchers, 79-75, with Kirk Kumangai scoring 12 points in the fourth quarter of his game high of 34.
