OZAMIZ CITYAn undermanned Sulpicio Lines-Pampanga squad uncorked a 12-0 blast in the closing minutes to snap N. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebus six-game winning streak in the 2003 Panasonic-National Basketball League Regional Cup tournament, 90-77, Friday at the Gov. Angel Medina gym here.
New recruit Louie Aquino scattered 31 points to power the seven-man Raging Bulls to their second win in six games in the tourney sponsored by Panasonic Phils., Beer na Beer, Sulpicio Lines, Natures Spring Mineral Water, BJ Star Logistics and Molten Basketball.

Former PBA campaigner Kenny Evans sparkled for the Snipers with 29 points, four rebounds and five assists.
