Noteworthy events from 2021 Summer Week 01

Outstanding outing(s):

  1. Kevin G (welcome back) and Jerry W each had a 76.
  2. Mona T shot a 73.
  3. Lito G outscored his bro by 1 point and finished with a 72.

RAFFLE Status:

  1. Mike K broke on Table 05 and scratched.
  2. Tim B took advantage of Table 02.  His break shot sank two balls and then he successfully pocketed the 1-ball, 2-ball, and 3-ball with ease.  The 4-ball was too unappealing and he cashed out for five ninths of the pot.
  3. The remaining raffle pot rolls over to Week 02.  
  4. Irony alert: This was the 4th time ever that Mike and Tim were randomized on the same night… and each time in that same sequence.  The first time was Week 06 of the 2020 Autumn season.

OTHER:

  1. Several players played their first matches since at least two seasons ago.  More are expected in upcoming weeks.  Welcome back to:
    Andrew S, Ed S, Mike M, Kevin G, and Phil S.
  2. Cristina C played her first match ever with our league and debuted with an impressive score of 70!!  The only opponent to beat her twice was Allie C.
  3. Ed S made an incredible shot on Table 12 and boogied around it in celebration.
    • After consulting with teammate Kevin G, Ed lined up on the cue ball (positioned in the racking area) and torpedoed it against the headrail.
    • It ricocheted to sink the 12-ball into the northeast corner pocket.
    • It was incredible because the opponent’s 4-ball was merely 2 inches to the southwest of the 12-ball.  The english, firmness, and angle all had to be perfect – and they were!
