Game 2
Shaw breaks and the 1 drops in the side. They have a long 45 deg cut on the 2 down the long rail. There are two clusters elsewhere on the table, so expect a safe here or the next shot. FSR plays a good safe.
Gorst calls an extension then makes an incredible long jump shot on the 2 with his playing cue! The 3 nicks the 7 and misses, but they leave it tough luckily. Shaw has a look at a cross-side bank.
Shaw attempts the long bank to the top corner, barely missing it but it was a 2-way shot on the 9, which misses as well. Woodward miscues a jump with his playing cue and barely misses the hanging 3, but he gets a great roll leaving only a kick.
FSR steps up and kicks the 3 cross-corner to perfection. Shaw has to kick at the 4 - it will go cross-side, but he plays it safe but doesn't get there.
Woodward backcuts the long 4 perfectly, and leaves Gorst nice on the 5. They should be out from here. Woodward nearly rolls too far on the 7, but it stops 4" away and perfect. Woodward needs to power-draw the 8 (don't miscue!), which he does, and Gorst drops the easy 9.
Score 2-0 USA (first time they've led by 2 racks in any match this week!)
