THE Dublon Chiefs and Watch
& Learn were engaged in a neck-and-neck battle in Game 2 of their
semis series in the World Organized Rocball Community League yesterday
at the Marianas High School Gym.
Watch & Learn drew first blood in Game 2 of their best-of-three series,
winning the opening set, 16-6.
But the Dublon Chiefs, who topped Game 1 52-43, and needed to win Game
2 to sweep the series, recovered in the second set with an 18-11 triumph.
The Dublon Chiefs were leading, 14-11, in the third set, when the game
was suspended, as students needed to return to class.
The match will resume today with the Dublon Chiefs and Watch & Learn
tied at 38-all.
Watch & Learns Nick Gross will serve at the resumption of the
game.
David Tisa was leading the Dublon Chiefs with 12 points on five aces and
one kee.
Tyce Mister has earned 10 points for Watch & Learn on four kees and
an ace.
Eleven aces and eight kees were scored so far in the game.
Watch & Learn must prevail in Game 2 to force a deciding Game 3.
The winner of the Watch & Learn-Dublon Chiefs semis series will meet
the defending champion Mwaliyas in a best-of-seven title affair.
The Mwaliyas beat Da Lani Kynez in the first semis pairing, but the latter
gave the defending champions a fight pushing the former to the limits
before bowing out of title contention.
The Mwaliyas won Game 1 in double overtime, 64-57, but failed to sweep
the series when Da Lani Kynez escaped with an overtime victory in Game
2, 65-44.
Game 3 also went into overtime with the Mwaliyas needing two extra sets
to thwart Da Lani Kynez, 79-73.
