Bataan stretches winning streak with rout of Bulacan

By Ivan Saldajeno

MANILA--Bataan pummeled Bulacan in the second quarter and eventually pulled off a 63-49 home win in the MPBL Datu Cup at the Bataan People's Center in Balanga on Tuesday night.

The first quarter had a glimpse of how these two squads became title contenders as they engaged in a tight match-up which ended in a 15-all.

But things changed in the next period, when the Risers limited the Kuyas to just four points. The Risers never looked back from there.

Byron Villarias notched a double-double of 13 points and 10 rebounds with three assists, three steals, and one block for Bataan, which extended its record winning streak to 10.

Pamboy Raymundo added 11 points, making his first five shots, six rebounds, and three assists.

Hans Thiele made 10 markers and 13 boards for Bulacan, which fell to 8-4.
