That's an understatement. In the second rack Keith breaks dry and concedes the rack, LOL! Yeah, Keith almost snapped the nine and left it hanging in a pocket but there was no dead 1-9 combo so Earl was going to have to run a few balls anyway before he could access the money ball.
The match was a race to 11. At hill-hill Earl makes four balls on the break but has to shoot a combination then a bank to get out. He wins 11-10. The 21 games took 55 minutes and 2 seconds.
Here's the match in 7 parts: 1988 Ohio State Open
Real fun match to watch.
Keith cracks me up in that video. Look at the way he moves around the table and gets down on shots. That guy is loose and feelin it! If I was playing someone and they moved like that I would have a sinking feeling in my gut right away.
