The Ghasias Brothers notched their second win in as many games in the 2008-2009 World Organized Rocball Community League after pulling off a come-from-behind victory over the Soul Rebels Saturday at the Marianas High School Gymnasium.

The Ghasias Brothers were down, 39-47, after three sets, when Freddie Pelisamen connected on three aces and scored a goal to lift his team to a 17-2 victory in the third set.

The fourth-set triumph also allowed the Ghasias Brothers to nail a 56-49 juiced-out victory against the Soul Rebels.

The nine remaining teams will start the round-robin phase of the league with the Top 4 teams after eight games advancing to the semifinals.

Meanwhile, Rocball creator James Feger said that games set for tonight and on Wednesday have been rescheduled to give way to make-up games in the high school basketball league.
