Our team consisted of 4 players and SCOV also had 4 players ready to compete. The PPB teams consisted of Tony “The Snake” Cardillo, Dominic “The Doctor” Borland, Joe “Ball Breaker” Vidmar , and Jack “Crash” Hoverter. Our SCOV opponents were as follows: Sean Park, Marvin Brisbin, Charlie, and Larry. The format was simple and interesting. Each of our players would play each of their players 3 games of 8-ball with each game won being 1 point for the winning team. There are a total of 48 points in the match. The first round went in favor of the PPB with a score of 8 to 4. The second round went to SCOV with a score of 7 to 5. After the second round the PPB was on top 13 to 11. The third round was a reversal of the second round with the PPB winning 7 games to SCOV’s 5 wins. Going into the fourth and final round the PPB was ahead by the score of 20 to 16. The fourth and final round found the PPB needing to win 5 games to win the match. The PPB did it! The fourth round score was PPB 8 and SCOV 4. The final score was 28 to 20 in PPB’s favor. This event was a continuation of a friendly but fierce rivalry with SCOV where the PPB has won 6 times, tied twice, and lost once out of 9 competitions since February 2017. SaddleBrooke is proud of their team and they thank SCOV for hosting the PPB and competing in this 8-Ball Singles match.
