From the opening tip, Sgt. Eduardo Mahilum scored several jumpers while 10ID big man Corporal Rusty Borromeo grabbed rebounds from both ends of the court, ending the quarter 22-7 in favor of 10ID.
Meanwhile, a full-court press of PAF-TOG11 during the 2nd quarter resulted in several turnovers for 10ID, reducing the lead to 12 at the 4:14 mark.
However, last-minute back-to-back baskets from TSgt. Renante Blazo ends the half with a 48-26 margin.
In the second half, the defense of 10ID continues to hurt the already slow offense of the PAF-TOG11, with missed opportunities from the stripe.
At the fourth, TSgt. Renante Blazo torched the PAF-TOG11, attacking the basket with several and one plays.
Sgt Blazo was named the game's best player, tallying 18 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, and a block.
