1st place Break Time 4 (12-1) jumped out to a 3-0 lead at Brewco Lounge 1 and cruised to 9-6 victory.   This match wasn't as close as the score indicates, as half of the Brewco game wins came after the match had been decided.   Jim Green led Break Time with three wins.   Jeremy Warner, Chris Forester, and Tony Allred each had two wins for Brewco Lounge 1 (4-9).   With the loss, Brewco dropped two spots to 10th place.   Break Time increased their slim lead over 2nd place Sportsman 1 to six games.

Don Q's 1 [7] at Sportsman 1 [8]view score sheet
Sportsman 1 made it a clean sweep of Don Q's 1, winning a thrilling 8-7 match at the Sporty.   Two-game winners Larry Smith and Brent Boone gave Don Q's an early 2-0 lead (including a Boone table run), but Sportsman roared back with four straight wins, capped off by a Pete Conover table run.   After Don Q's Jim Holloway and two-game winner Robert Rosa tied the score at 4-4, the man of the night, Harry "The Hat" Peltz, rolled in a table run to put Sportsman back on top by a game.   The two teams traded wins over the next four games, and with Sportsman on the hill at 7-6, Peltz finished off his perfect night with the clinching win over Smith.   With the win, Sportsman 1 (12-1) keeps pace with front-running Break Time 4.   The loss dropped 3rd place Don Q's 1 to 10-3, seriously hampering their aspirations for the division crown.
