Table 2: Alvin Kelley & Tracey Krol vs George Sharbo & Keith Nickel :

This match didn’t go very well at the start for Kelley & Tracey as they fell behind by two games in the 8 Ball Set.  George has been playing well and Keith has picked up his game the last several and they capitalized on the mistakes by their opponents. You can’t hold down good shooters like Kelley and Tracey too long as they came up with some very nice shot making in game 3 and 4 as to even up the set. Keith and George continued to find ways to win, with some key hooks that opened the door for wins in games 5 & 6 and take a 4-2 set win. George and Keith opened the 9 Ball Set with a win in game 1. Alvin wasted very little time to tie up the set as he nailed a 1-9 combination to make quick work in game 2.

He and Tracey surged ahead in the set taking game three, as Tracey continued to play some very nice safeties that helped Kelley drop in the 9 ball for the second win in a row. Keith and George continued to work hard and it paid off with some nice shots as they notched games 4 & 5, taking the lead in the set.

Meanwhile, Keith and George seemed to get the momentum shifted to their side. They nailed game winners in the first two games, assuring them of no less than a tie. Tracey and Kelley put together a nice game and posted the win in game 3. That would be all that George and Keith would give up as they put together some very nice shooting and position play to nail down three straight games and take the match by 6 points. A very good match with some great shooting by both teams.
