They left out San Salvador in a series of fears. They go through Metapán
On the famous Tacón Court, in San Vicente, the Fantasmas overcame a slight deficit in the final stretch of the game to beat San Salvador BC 57-55, and reach the semifinals of the Men’s Major Basketball League, on Wednesday night .
The locals took the series 3-2 in a dramatic close. With 2:13 left in the duel, they were losing 54-55, but Aaren Smith, one of the team’s stars, scored a basket to turn things around.
What followed was pure drama, missed shots by San Salvador by Luis Valle, the same robbery from Smith, a missed shot by Marquise Mosley to give the visit a possible victory, another robbery by the capital team through Neysser Coutin on Caleb Bowser , who then lost the ball.
Another mistake on the part of the Vincentians, and a sea of nerves on both teams, Neysser’s shot blocked by Smith, but the rebound was left to the capital’s players, who were unable to execute in time in the next position.
Thus the time was diluted until 12 seconds, when Valle fouled the ghost Juan Flores to stop the clock and pray that he missed a free throw to have the chance to tie everything with a three-pointer.
He missed both, the drama increased, Brayan García captured the rebound and San Salvador had the last word, in the hands of Bernardo Polanco, who missed the final shot with 3 seconds on the clock. Smith took the ball, was fouled, made a free throw to make it 57-55 and missed the next one, but there was no time left for San Sal to take another shot.
Bowser and Smith finished as the leaders of the winners with 18 points, with 6 and 10 rebounds, respectively. For the defeated, Polanco scored 22 plus 10 boards. Tonight, Cojute and Tecla defined the last classified, and tomorrow Metapán starts the semis against Fantasmas.
