As the day wears on at the Jay Swanson Memorial, the tournament seems to be moving a little faster as players are able to play back to back matches.
However, it's obvious that this pace has taken a toll on some of the players while others are catching a gear and playing like the champions they are. A valiant effort was made by 14 year old Brenden Crocket who finished 33rd-48th. Melissa Morris was the last woman standing and ended up finishing 33rd- 48th also.
There have been so many great matches today and they are continuing on. Mitch Ellerman and Max Eberle played on the Winner's side and what a great match that was with Mitch and his power break taking control of the match from the beginning. Max was able to come back to make the score 7-6 but Mitch got a shot in the 14th game and went on to win the set.
On the one loss side Oscar Dominguez dominated his match against Justin Bergman. Bergman couldn't get anything rolling and lost to Oscar 7-0.
Again Mitch was up against Louis Ulrich. Louis has played a stellar game throughout the entire tournament and the set against Mitch was no exception. In the beginning of the set Ulrich took over and made the score 4-2 but Mitch wouldn't lie down and came back and won 5 games in a row to make the score 7-4. Ulrich clawed his way back to 7-7, but on the case game scratched on the 7 giving Ellerman the run out and ultimately the win. Now we are down to the last 8 players.
