WATCH & Learn kept its bid for a finals berth alive after pulling off a 56-54 juiced out win over the Dublon Chiefs in Game 2 of their semis series in the World Organized Rocball Community League yesterday at the Marianas High School Gym.
The Dublon Chiefs won Game 1 of the best-of-three semis duel, 52-43, and needed to prevail in Game 2 to sweep the series and advance to the final.
Game 2 was played last Tuesday, but only the first two and a half sets were played and the match was tied at 38-all, before it was suspended.
The game resumed yesterday with the Dublon Chiefs leading in the third set, 14-11. They held Watch & Learn scoreless in the remaining minutes of the third set to pull off a 16-11 win and move a set away from clinching the second finals berth.
But Watch & Learn refused to wave the white flag notching an 18-14 victory in the fourth set to tie the series and force a winner-take-all Game 3.
Game 2 was awarded to Watch and Learn despite losing two of the four sets.
In rocball, a juiced-out win is given to a team that prevails in the fourth set and holds the lead after the regulation.
Mark McDonald led Watch & Learn’s win scoring 16 points on four aces and four kees. Tyce Mister added 10 markers on four kees and an ace.
David Tisa paced the Dublon Chiefs with 12 points on five aces and one kee.
Fourteen aces, 13 kees and a goal were scored in Game 2. Orig Towe made the lone goal in the game hitting it in the fourth set.
