Results from the Leisure Time Billiards Tournament
Despite both players recovering from a recent severe automobile accident, Tommy Hernandez and Jesse Bowman still dominated the action. Hernandez, playing for the first day without a cast on his hand, marched his way, undefeated, to the hill match, putting Jesse Bowman on the one-loss side during the third match of the tournament. Hernandez met Rich Bideaux for the "hot seat" and sent him to the one-loss side with a 5-3 victory. Jesse Bowman fought his way through to emerge victorious on the one-loss side with a victory over Bideaux, only to face Hernandez for the top spot. Jesse, ever the competitor, made a valiant effort, but fell one game short as Hernandez claimed first place money and points with a 5-4 victory.
