It had been a while for the winner. And never-before for the runner-up.
Prior to this past weekend (Sunday, April 23), Ray Toro had not recorded (with us) a cash finish since 2018, when he finished third at a stop on the 2017-2018 Tri-State Tour. As circumstance would have it, Toro had battled and lost the hot seat match to Allison LaFleur who was, at the time, the top-ranked female on the tour. Toro was denied a rematch when he was defeated in the semifinals by Frank Scorsonelli. LaFleur defeated Scorsonelli in the final to chalk up her first Tri-State win.
Fast forward five years and Mr. Toro found himself facing two women in two of his final three matches at a stop on the Garden State Tour; (in order) Jennifer Pedutem in a winners’ side semifinal and Caitlyn Harkins in the finals. He defeated both of them to finish undefeated and claim his first regional tour title at the $200-added, Fargo Rated 550 and lower event that drew 32 entrants to a new room for the tour; Whiskey Hideaway in Staten Island, NY.
