[Island Drive]

Be nice is someone could give us the rack by rack updates....

 

[AtLarge]

They're on a time-out right now, with the score 5-4 Appleton. No one has been more than 1 game ahead (1-0, 1-1, 2-1, 2-2, 3-2, 3-3, 3-4, 4-4, 5-4).

Here's the real-time scoring: http://usopen.azbilliards.com/scores.php

9-6 darren, safety battle going on over the 1 ball.

 

[PoolBum]

Darren makes a great shot on the 1, gets shape on the 2.

 

[PoolBum]

Appleton just scratched cross side on the 5.

 

[PoolBum]

Corey gets out, 9-7 Darren. If Corey wins, that last rack will probably be the difference. He really needs to get some opportunities from the break though.

Is anybody out there following this?

 

[olathebanger]

Thanks for the updates.

 

[PoolBum]

No problem. Corey makes two balls on the break, but has a very difficult shot on the 2, jacked up over the 8.

Darren plays safe, Corey kicks and hits the 2, leaves a tough shot.

is the race still to 11? and is it true double elimination

Corey runs out from the 2, after Incardona dogs the call from the 2 to the 4.

9-8 Darren.

The pressure is starting to come into play, with both players really taking their time in the tough situations.

 

[PoolBum]

Corey break and makes the 1 in the side, but has not shot on the 2.

Darren runs out from the 2 to go up 10-8, then takes a time out.
