Noteworthy events from 2022 Spring Week 10

Outstanding outing(s):

  1. Mona T and Mike M each tallied a perfect 80.
  2. Julian F shot a 76 – really good for pool and pretty good for golf.
  3. Esteban Q and Steve G each finished with 75 points this week.

RAFFLE Status:

  1. Tim B abandoned the usage of Nancy’s name in his entry and got selected for the first time since this season’s signup night.  He broke on Table 02 and sank one.
    • The 1-ball bounced around a little and rested slightly south of middle table and a few inches west of the head string.
    • The cue ball situated near the rack.
    • The 6-ball rolled in the way of a clean shot.
    • Tim switched cue sticks and mumbled something about jumping.  He then briefly lined up a kick shot off the southwest rail and smacked that 1-ball dead center into the northeast corner like a cannon.
    • After the crowd’s astonished cheer, Tim had no shapes on the 2-ball and no interest in another miracle.  He immediately cashed out for 2/9ths of the available pot.
  2. Braxton L still wants tickets, but was selected to break on Table 04.
    • He sank one on the break and left the cue ball almost on the head spot.
    • The 1-ball was a smidge north of exact middle table.
    • The 2-ball decided to be the interference, but Braxton spotted a few millimeters of 1-ball still available.
    • He sliced it perfectly into the north side pocket.
    • The 2-ball was open for either eastern corner.  Braxton inquired the value of his current achievement and liked what he heard. He cashed out for 2/9ths of the Tim-reduced available pot.
  3. The remaining and still appetizing raffle pot rolls over to Week 11.

OTHER:

  1. The league now heads into the final week of matches and the six top teams are separated by a total of 45 points. Two pairs of them are scheduled to oppose each other.
  2. In the Tony versus Tony match on table 08, Tony C called for a ref to watch a hit.  Tony L’s cue ball was less than a chalk width northeast of the 9-ball which was frozen to the slanted southwest rail inside the southeast corner pocket.
    • L absorbed a timeout to consult with Captain Goose.
    • L made a great and clean hit instantly sinking the 9 and the cue ball caromed off the western rail and back for near-perfect shape on the 8-ball to the northwest corner.
    • But L missed that ensuing shot and ended up losing the game to C.
  3. Fermin A had an interesting scoresheet with one 10, one 5, and six 6s.
