MANILA–Defending champion Rubilen Amit and Zemonette Oryan salvaged what ought to be a nightmarish outing for the host country in the second day of the 2010 Yalin Women’s World 10-Ball Championship Tuesday at the Nuvo City in Libis, Quezon City.
Amit downed fellow Filipino Ana Tulawan, 6-1, while last minute addition Oryan dumped Jargelyn Maldonado, 6-2, in group 8.
