MNL Sausage blazed past Rizaba, 86-75, in the Community Basketball Association Pilipinas Founder's Cup at the Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig on Saturday.

The Kings limited the Raptors to just 10 points in the first quarter to set up the rout.

Mark Yu put up 16 points, four rebounds, five assists, and two steals off the bench for MNL Sausage.

Eduardo Tubera went on a perfect 7-for-7 shooting from the field for 15 points with five rebounds, three assists, and two steals in a start.

Alvin Se made 18 points, 14 rebounds, and one block for Rizaba.

In the first game, Marikina outlasted Rizal in overtime, 90-86.

Eloie Tan fired 30 points to pace the Sapateros, who got their bearings back in the extra session after letting the Chiefs slowly crawl back into the game and eventually force the extension.

Jacob Lucas fired 26 points, Dennis Santos added 22, and Jayniel Ilac put up 20 for Rizal, but no other player scored in double figures.
