The South Dakota Kid and the Scorpion started off slow as they trailed young gun team of Tommy Najar and Dustin Boyd 4-1. But they came back strong with a 8-4 win. Then they took out Immonen & Morris 8-5, then ran into a tough 8-7 win over Putnam and Beckley. Finally they dusted off Hohmann and WIlliams 8-3 to finish their round robin stint unscathed.
"Charlie didn't miss one ball in four matches. Even when I left him super hard shots", said Hohmann after the matches. Williams added, " Sometimes even when you play well things still have to go your way. But doubles is alot of fun and I learned some interesting things comparing notes on how Thorsten thinks. So that will go into the Dragon's playbook! "
Jeff Beckley of Indiana and Shawn Putnam of Georgia made a odd pairing that worked well as they toppled Hohmann and Williams 8-6 and then another upset over Morris and Immonen 8-5. Hohmann/Williams were only able to score one win 8-3 over Najar/Boyd to finish 4th.
Tomorrow Morris/Immonen will re-match Putnam/Beckley with the winner facing Archer/Van Boening for the title match.
