REIGNING UAAP champion National University downed PK Holdings, 8-5, for its third consecutive win yesterday in the Liga Baseball Philippines at the Rizal Memorial Baseball Stadium.

The Bulldogs rose to 3-1 overall, while sending the Thunderz to their second loss in five games.

KBA Stars overpowered Ateneo, 16-0, in an abrrevriated seven-inning contest to improve to 2-2. The Blue Eagles are winless in four games.

NU has not tasted a defeat since dropping a 1-2 10-inning decision to Itakura Parts Philippines Corporation (IPPC) last June 8.

Herald Tenorio and Kiel Olazo produced RBIs in the top sixth as the Bulldogs opened a 7-4 advantage and never looked back.

Action resumes today at the same Malate venue, with University of Santo Tomas trying to join IPPC (4-1) on top of the standings against Dumaguete at 8 a.m. NU hopes to complete a back-to-back weekend set sweep as it plays Samurai at 1 p.m.
