Ron Cosanzio went undefeated through a field of 31 other players to win the third stop on the Joss NE 9-Ball Tour's 2012/2013 schedule at Premium Billiards in Syracuse, Ny.
Cosanzio and Russ Philp faced off for the hot-seat on Sunday, which was won by Cosanzio with a 9-8 scoreline.
On the one loss side, Philp found Spencer Auigbelle waiting. Auigbelle had lost his first match of the tournament, but came back through the left side of the board to earn his place in the semi-finals. That match would be another hill-hill battle with the same result for Philp; a hill-hill loss.
The double elimination finals would only go one set, with Cosanzio scoring a 9-5 win in the match.
The win moves Cosanzio to the top of the Joss Tour's points list.
The 2nd chance event on Sunday saw Ed Saur go undefeated with wins over Dave Mills for both the hot-seat and in the finals.
The Joss NE 9-Ball Tour will be at Hippo's House of Billiards in Utica, NY for their next stop on November 3rd and 4th.
Players are also urged to get their entries in for January's Turning Stone Classic. Players can contact Mike Zuglan at 518-356-7163.
