The Breakers ended a 12-match losing streak in the Professional Billiards Association Team League, defeating High1 Resort on Wednesday.

The Breakers beat High1 Resort 4-1 in sets at the Welcome Savings Bank PBA Team League 2026-2027 Round 4, Day 5 match held at the Kintex PBA Stadium in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province.

The team had suffered eight consecutive losses in Round 3 and then dropped four more in Round 4 before claiming a victory in their 13th match. Their Round 4 record improved to one win and four losses (3 points), but they failed to escape last place due to an inferior set differential against High1 Resort.

The Breakers seized control early when Lee Sang-yong and Antonio Montes dismantled the Eddie Leppens-Lee Chung-bok pair 11-3 in the first set. Although they dropped the second set, Lee Seung-jin stormed back in the third, running 11 points from the opening inning to beat Lee Chung-bok 15-6.

In the fourth set, Lee Sang-yong and Hida Orie defeated Lutfi Cenet and Lee Mi-rae 9-4, and Oh Seong-wook sealed the win in the fifth set by beating Leppens 11-2.

In the race for the top spot, Huons came out ahead. Huons defeated Crown-Haitai 4-1 in sets to extend their winning run to three straight, moving to four wins and one loss (13 points) for sole first place in Round 4.

SY fell behind Woori Financial Capital by two sets before reeling off four consecutive sets to win 4-2 in a comeback. SY's second straight victory lifted the team to third place with three wins and two losses (10 points). Harim beat Welcome Savings Bank 4-1 to sit fourth at three wins and two losses (9 points). NH NongHyup Card swept Hana Card 4-0 to climb to sixth place with two wins and three losses (7 points).
