By Roselyn B. Monroyo
Variety News Staff

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 & Learn’s 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.
