QUEZON CITY--Carlo Lastimosa may have outscored Terrence Romeo, but in the end, the latter's club prevailed.

Romeo scored 15 of his 26 points in the second half to lead the Batang Pier's pull-away from the Elite, who kept the game tight in the first half behind Lastimosa.
Romeo also tallied five rebounds and an assist, while backcourt partner Stanley Pringle added 17 points, six rebounds, six assists, and one steal.
