2nd Game: Tan Holdings 84, Hyatt 74

The second game of action was between Tan Holdings and Microl Toyota. Tan Holdings earned their second win in the same outings with a 84-74 decision over Toyota. With the combination of Jerry Zamora and Ronald Delos Reyes, Tan Holdings jumped into a 15-point lead early in the first half. Toyota however was able to cut the deficit to a single digit by playing hard defense.

Tan Holdings, who is favored to capture the first Mobil Oil Co-Ed Basketball League Crown, have good veteran players who played in the ICBL and BANMI Leagues.

Toyota however in the second half took the lead from Tan Holdings with five minutes remaining in regulation with a 5-point lead 70-65. Tan Holdings was able to catch up when Toyota ran out of gas with a 84-74 decision.
