Sparked by Axel Inigo's triple, the Voyagers scored the game's last seven points to foil the Heatwaves' final rally and tally their 10th win against 7 losses in the round-robin elimination phase of the 29-team tournament.

Pangasinan threatened twice, 73-74 and 75-76, following jumpers by Michael Mabulac and Hesed Gabo, respectively, that sandwiched a layup by Pasay's Warren Bonifacio, who posted 20 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists.

Inigo wound up with 17 points, 5 assists and 3 rebounds for the Voyagers who broke free at 58-42 with 3 minutes and 22 seconds to go in the third quarter.

Laurenz Victoria also shone for Pasay, which converted 12 of 14 charities, with 15 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists.

The Heatwaves, who fell to 6-11, got 12 points each from John Paul Maguillano and Ralph Robin and 10 from Gabo.

Earlier, South Cotabato subdued Bacolod, 90-84, and Marikina battered Bicolandia, 120-93.

Riding the double-double of Chris Dumapig and the contributions of Enzo Joson, Larry Rodriguez and Kyle Tolentino, the South Cotabato Warriors surged ahead, 52-37, and were never headed to rise to 13-5.

Dumapig wound up with 16 points and 10 rebounds, followed by Joson with 15 points and 7 rebounds, Rodriguez with 12 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists, and Tolentino with 11 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals.

Bacolod skidded to 1-17 despite the near triple-double of Yvan Ludovice (15 points, 10 rebounds, 9 assists), the 26-point, 6-rebound effort of Louie Vigil, and the 13-point, 6-rebound output of homegrown Alfred Sedillo.

Powered by Eric Joseph Pili and Miguel Ives Corteza with 28 and 23 points, respectively, Marikina led by as far as 116-87 and climbed to 5-12.

Other Shoemasters in double figures were Ahron Estacio with 12 and Jude Codinera and Mel Mabigat with 12 each.

Bicolanda, which tumbled to 2-16, got 22 points and 12 rebounds from John Edcel Rojas and 21 points from Cyrus Jarell Llanera.

The MPBL returns to the Alonte Sports Arena on Friday, July 12, with a triple bill pitting Bulacan against Imus at 4 p.m., Zamboanga against Iloilo at 6 p.m., and Bataan against Binan at 8 p.m.
