With Julian Figueroa and Efrain Cardoza struggling, Pasco coach Charlie Villanueva put in Alex Ballardo and Alfonso Cobain sparking a big rally and an eventual 46-42 victory Friday over visiting Walla Walla in Mid-Columbia Conference action.
Ballardo finished with six points and Cobain two, but it was their defense that keyed the charge. Walla Walla led 30-19 midway through the third when they came on the floor.
