Manila drew strength from Jon Jon Robles to pull off a come-from-behind 8-6 victory over Cebu in Baseball Philippines Series 8 at the Aboitiz Sports Field in Mandaue City, Cebu on Monday.

The Sharks accounted for two runs each from the seventh to ninth innings after being down by 5-2 in the fifth inning to rack up their eighth victory in nine games and take solo lead in the standings.

Robles entered the game in the sixth inning and gave up a run and two hits in the seventh, but he retired the final six batters of the game.

Robles also advanced the go-ahead run in the ninth inning after a 6-6 tie to complete the comeback from a three-run deficit.

?We just stuck to our game plan by establishing our pitching and defense first. The offense just followed afterwards," said Manila coach Jhoel Palanog.

The Sharks also avenged their defeat against Cebu early in the series.The Dolphins won, 7-2, in their first meeting.

Marvin Malig tied the game, 6-6, in the eighth after a two-run double to left center field to score Edward Landicho and Christian Galedo.

In the ninth, Jarus Inobio singled and reached third after stealing base setting up Robles, who got the Sharks the lead once again after a one-out triple to deep right field.

Landicho made it a two-run game on a sacrifice fly to easily advance Robles home.

Nino Tator and Francis Candela got the Sharks going with RBI hits in the first inning, but Lorenzo Ubungen?s RBI triple to score Joseph Orillana in the third inning got the Dolphins aboard.

Miggy Corcuera tied the game, blasting a solo home run to left field off Manila starter Charlie Labrador in the fourth inning. Cebu got three runs in the fifth inning with Tino Ubungen slamming a two-run single in that frame. - Reuben Terrado/RCJ/KBK, GMA News
