Quick Sticks (Dave Wallace) are the reigning Divisions Champions in Sunday night Double Jeopardy as they defeat U Rack We Run (Frank Rich) in 8-Ball 3-1 and slip by Home Team (Ed Skawinski) 51-49 in a tight 9-Ball final match. In 8-Ball, the team took Mike Vinson’s key victory over Frank Rich all the way to the trophy bank. In 9-Ball, Dave called for some unorthodox matchups which seemed to backfire with Home Team only needing 3 points in the last match for the win. Alex Bennie overcame the pressure and shot his way to an 18-2 win in the last match, denying Home Team of the Session title. Congratulations to Quick Sticks for two well-fought victories!
