/ 09:33 PM May 20, 2012

ARVIN Plaza drove home Bryan Lumbres in the bottom of the first extra inning to lead Dumaguete to an 8-7 victory over back-to-back defending champion Manila yesterday and a share of the lead in the Baseball Philippines Series 9 at the Clark Field Parade Grounds.

The Unibikers lost a 6-4 lead after six innings as the Sharks rallied with a three-run burst in the seventh but caught up in the next frame with a single run, 7-all.

The sixth win in nine outings tied Dumaguete with their victims and the Cebu Dolphins, who bowed to the Batangas Bulls, 9-2, in another match played on a nearby pitch.
