I was 2 and 0 unbeaten in the 9 ball division with 7 straight wins and now two and 0 in the All around. Sounds pretty good doesn’t it bahaha unbeaten!
Ronnie and I played 14-1 the second match of the all around. He chose 14-1 in our match but Ronnie I’m sure didn’t know I was a seasoned 14-1 player with 100 plus capability and his choice of games backfired on him, put 70 on him and got a win, 125-119!
He used good sense choosing 14-1, I would have chose 14-1 also if I were playing an 18 yr old short stop per Ronnie Bahahahaha
Now 2 and 0 Lassiter had his choice of games and he chose 14-1! He needed a win folks the all around was sliding away from both opponents. Both my opponents had to choose their best game at this point to get a win but if they both won at their best game Lassiter had to play me one hole (my best game) and Ronnie had to play me 9 ball which was about an even game 50-50, whomever wanted it most!
Lassiter won the lag for first break and gave it to me Really Bahahahaha, well I gave it the standard safe break and Lassiter ran 115 balls before freezing himself to another ball, there was light people, I wasn’t dead yet!
He took 3 fouls in a row, I took two and the Ref reracked the balls, Lassiter lost 18 points and he gave the standard safe break, he was excellent at it but he was a playing a kid that would shoot at the moon if he had to Bahahahaha
Well the one ball that came out of the stack I called it in the left corner pocket and cut it backwards sending my cue ball crashing into the stack like a full blown amateur lol!
Well lucky me I made the shot and preceded to run 127 and out. I was at 64 when I pocketed my last ball sending my cue ball into the stack with too much authority and the cue ball glanced off the stack and found the corner pocket on my side at the far end of the table, my mistake, game over, Lassiter would run 28 and out and get his first win!
Life wasn’t easy in the pit in Johnston City 1970 but it wasn’t over either!
