Batang Alaska-Caloocan posted its third consecutive victory in the Burlington-Batang PBA Summer League without a sweat – literally – with Batang Purefoods-Pasay a no-show in their scheduled date at the Marikina Sports Center.
The effortless victory kept the Batang Aces unbeaten in the 10-team tournament and could complete a sweep of their elimination round campaign in Group A with an all important victory against Batang Sta. Lucia-Marikina on on Friday.
Batang Purefoods-Pasay fell to 0-3 after the league's screening committee forfieted the two games it won over Batang Sta. Lucia-Marikina and Batang Ginebra-Antiplo for fielding ineligible players.
In the wake of mounting protest from several teams, the league's screening committee, headed by Ramil Cruz, conducted a probe and found out that Batang Purefoods-Pasay had included two overaged players in its rosters. The tournament is confined to kids 9-12 years old.
Batang Barangay Ginebra-Antipolo dumped Batang Sta. Lucia-Marikina, 104-61, in the other Group A match also scheduled yesterday. Both teams are tied at 2-1.
The Batang Kings closed out their elimination round campaign also on Wednesday against Batang Air 21-Cainta (0-2)
In case Batang Alaska-Caloocan, Batang Sta. Lucia-Marikina and Batang Barangay Ginebra-Antipolo wind up tied at 3-1 (win-loss) records, the two teams with the better quotient will advance to the semis.
The scores:
Batang Ginebra- Antipolo 104 – Buerano 26, De Leon 21, Lina A.11, Lina B.10, Lee 8, Borje 7, Laman 6, Dometita 4, Magno 4, Bertiz 3, Delgado 2, Altamirano 2, Carpiso 0, Eleria 0, Zapanta 0.
