Petron displayed championship poise amid a determined Foton side to prevail, 25-13, 25-21, 23-25, 26-24, Monday night and force a deciding Game 3 in the Philippine Superliga Grand Prix women’s volleyball championship at the jampacked Cuneta Astrodome.

Brazilian open hitter Rupia Inck banged in 25 points to lead the Blaze Spikers in the thrilling match that brought them back in the series after losing Game 1 last week.
