Leslie powers Batang Pier to victory in farewell game

MANILA, Philippines -- Globalport caught up with Rain or Shine at fifth place at 2-2 as the Batang Pier blasted a badly crippled Alaska Milk squad, 95-73, in the second game.

In what could well be his farewell game with Globalport, CJ Leslie came up with 30 points and 18 rebounds against the Aces playing minus the injury-stricken Sonny Thoss, Jvee Casio, Vic Manuel and Calvin Abueva.

Actually, a replacement import in Calvin Warner was already supposed to take over from Leslie last night. Warner’s entry was deferred pending his formal release from his team in the Jordan league.
