Pharmaquick wins; Shark makes it 4

Bruce Dacia and Omanzie Rodriguez, recruits from San Juan’s MBA team, had rousing debuts for Pharmaquick in a 61-52 victory over Montaña Pawnshop yesterday in the PBL Chairman’s Cup at the Makati Coliseum.

Challenge Cup champion Shark Energy Drink romped to its fourth straight victory via a 62-41 blowout of Osaka Iridology in the second game.

Dacia wowed the crowd with his dazzling aerial and one-on-one moves to lead the team with 14 points, six of which coming in the final quarter, while the 6-foot-6 slotman Rodriguez got the job done on defense with a game-high six shotblocks.

Boosted by the arrival of Dacia and Rodriguez, the Drug Specialists booked their first win after two straight heartbreaking losses.
