The players on the Joss NE 9-Ball Tour got to take a small break from the Dennis Hatch winning streak as he was a no-show at Classic Billiards in Rochester NY on March 28th-29th.
Even without Hatch, there was more than enough firepower in the field of thirty nine players.
The winners side came down to Chris Orme and young gun John Morra on Sunday. This match went to Orme by the score of 9-7.
On the one loss side, Chance Chin was fighting his way through the brackets after a second round loss to Orme.
On the one-loss side, Chin won seven straight matches including a final four matches over Mike Zuglan 9-8, Bucky Souvanthong 9-8, Dave Grau 9-7 and Morra 9-8.
This left Chin and Orme fighting for the win. Chin rode his momentum to an early lead 5-2, but Orme came back to tie the match at 7-7. From there, Orme won the last two racks for the 9-7 win.
The Joss NE 9-Ball Tour will be at Raxx Pool Room & Grill in W. Hempstead, NY next weekend for their next event.
Mike Zuglan is already taking entries for Turning Stone Classic XIII on August 20 - 23. This event always fills up, so players are urged to call Mike at (518) 356-7163.
