Day two of the Canadian Junior 9-Ball Championships is complete and the field has been whittled from 20 to just 6. On the A-side this morning, Jason Thomas (NB) and Tom Morel (ON) each survived hill-hill scares, Morel coming from 8-3 down to defeat Jody Swim (NS) 9-8. However, their glory was short lived as Thomas was then dispatched to the one loss side by Jason Klatt (MB) and Morel lost to Chris McKenzie (NS). Klatt and McKenzie remain the only two undefeated players going into the final day. On the B-side, Desmond Csyani (ON) arrived late for his match and began 3-0 down to Billy Peters (ON). Csyani fought valiantly to tie the score at hill apiece and was poised to complete the comeback before scratching while pocketing the 8 ball in the final rack. Jessica MacInnis (NS) slayed another Alberta junior, Michael Collins, by a 7-2 score, but she eventually fell to Saskatewan's Moses Cappo. Four now remain with one loss - Jason Thomas, Tom Morel, Jody Swim, and Billy Peters. Play will complete on Wednesday.
