Ouch, Archer got a serious spanking by Hohmann. He couldn't buy a roll if they were playing in the bakery.

Rolls, schmolls. Archer broke poorly in this match, and it made Hohmann's work easy. The rolls had nothing to do with it. At this level, if you break poorly, you lose.
 
Turnabout?

The broadcast included a sidebar note that Archer had won their earlier tournament match 11-2. Anyone have a report on that match? Archer breaking better, getting all the rolls? Archer came into the finals match undefeated- Any one thing make the difference? Shorter race? Too long waiting in hot seat? I'll never know. These guys play a different game than I do although its both 9-ball. Comments?

That's true, but overstated, After crushing Manalo, Hohmann got to play Archer, who narrowly escaped Szuter, for the hot seat. It was a carbon copy of the final in many ways. Archer got a roll or two late in the set, but those rolls were not the stroy. Hohmann wasted his first three breaks ,and the result was 6 - 0 Archer. Johnny cruised from there. With alternate break, 6 - 0 is an insurmountable lead, going to seven or going to eleven. Once again, at this level, you take yourself right out of it when you break poorly at this level.
