| Tiburon Tavern [1] at Don Q's 1 [14] |
| A few of the Tiburon players were angry that they had to play in a place that couldn't serve beer, and they refused to play. Tiburon was unable to find a sub, so they played one man short. Don Q's 1 took full advantage, winning 14-1. Brent Boone led Don Q's with three non-forfeit game wins. Clint Dibala scored Tiburon's only win in the opening game. 1st place Don Q's 1 (22-2) can breathe a lot easier now after 2nd place Monty's 2 lost to Monty's 3. Last place Tiburon Tavern fell to 1-23. Don Q's beer license should be renewed in a few weeks. |

| Monty's 2 [6] at Monty's 3 [9] |
| For the second time this season Monty's 3 was able to handle defending champion Monty's 2, as Debbie Beach's squad rolled to a 9-6 victory. Three-game winner Phil Beach helped Monty's 3 jump out to a 3-0 lead; a lead that Monty's 2 was never able to chip away at. Two-game winner Andres Cortes won game 10 to bring Monty's 2 to within two games at 6-4, but Kevin Farrell responded with a break-and-run, followed by Phil Beach's final win - the death blow. The loss crippled the 1st place hopes of 2nd place Monty's 2 (20-4). 4th place Monty's 3 (18-6) remains in a three-way tie with 3rd place Don Q's 2 and 5th place Old King's Road 1. Monty's 3 trails Don Q's 2 by 12 games but has a 15 game lead over OKR 1. |
| Break Time 2 [7] at Monty's 1 [8] |
| 6th place Monty's 1 put their playoff lives in jeopardy Tuesday night, only to escape unscathed with an 8-7 win against Break Time 2. Monty's had to use a sub for Josue Solis, but their sub disappeared after his first game. Break Time capitalized by winning four straight games to go on the hill at 7-5. Two-game winners Ernesto Sanchez and Jesse Oliver won to tie the score at 7-7, and it was time for the Monty's sub to play. Rosendo Ramirez happened to be in the bar watching the Monty's 2 - Monty's 3 match, so Monty's 1 borrowed his services for the last game. Ramirez beat Bill Fedderson to give Monty's 1 to victory. Break Time complained that the substitution was a violation of the rules, but since Ramirez is a Monty's sub and was not playing in the other match, he could legally substitute. Monty's 1 improved their record to 12-12 and took a strangle hold on the final playoff spot. They lead 7th place Cliff Room 1 by two matches and 12 games. Dennis Nupdal and Ed Ogden led Break Time 2 (7-17) with two wins each. Despite the loss, Break Time 2 moved up one spot to 8th place. |
