PLDT barely broke a sweat and whipped Akari 25-17, 25-20, 25-19 yesterday to move into a tie for the lead with idle Creamline in the PVL All-Filipino Conference at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig.
Dell Palomata and Majoy Baron stood at the forefront of the High Speed Hitters’ relentless offensive assault, their execution of quick set plays proving instrumental in thwarting the Chargers, particularly during a pivotal stretch of the second frame.
The one-hour, 27-minute victory was PLDT’s fourth straight and sixth overall against a loss as it rejoined Creamline in the lead heading into the crucial stretch of the single-round preliminaries.
Baron tallied 13 points, including two blocks and three aces, as she earned the Best Player of the Game honors for the second straight time following an 11-point effort against the Farm Fresh Foxies before the break.
