Weston Ranch’s Kent Balacy came through with a clutch victory over Sierra’s Anthony Alcantar with all eyes on the final No. 6 singles match that would decide the winner.

Balacy knocked off Alcantar during a 10-point tiebreaker after both split the first two sets and lifted his Cougars to a 5-4 Valley Oak League victory.

“It came down to one match,” Sierra head coach Vanessa Weeks said. “(Alcantar and Balacy) were both consistent; it just came down to a few points and a couple of missed opportunities.”

Sierra’s three singles winners were: Mark Paule Jr. (No. 3) over Roen Malihan, Adam Searle (No. 4) over Issa Areja and Josh Hernandez Simpanco (No. 5) over Charlie Stanley. The Timberwolves’ only point in doubles play was from their No. 1 doubles duo of Allen Len and Steven Gott.

Weston Ranch got a win from its top two singles slots as Chai Saepharn (No. 1) dropped Keegan D’Souza and Ion Obiso (No. 2) defeated Laic Beugre. The Cougars’ No. 2 doubles team of Michael Cervantes and Nick Salvador, and their No. 3 duo of Steven Toledo and Vincent Agrabio, picked up their other victories.
