Twin towers Elena Samoilenko and Majoy Baron delivered in the clutch as PLDT turned back a fiesty Chery Tiggo side, 25-23, 25-27, 15-25, 25-18, 15-9, to clinch a semifinal berth in the Premier Volleyball League Reinforced Conference at the FilOil EcoOil Centre in San Juan City on Tuesday, Aug. 27.
Holding to a slim 10-9 lead in the deciding fifth frame, Samoilenko and Baron took charge on both ends by winning the next five points including a double block on Mylene Paat that sealed their ticket to the next phase.
The win also arranged PLDT a semis clash with the Akari Chargers, who downed the Farm Fresh Foxies in four sets last Saturday, Aug. 24. Chery Tiggo fought back in the fifth and took an early 4-3 lead, but it turned out to be its last stand as Baron and Samoilenko joined forces with Mika Reyes and Kim Fajardo to eliminate the Crossovers.
