The Route 33 Armatech Hustler completed a 12-3 demolition of Jhonny’s Team SCS to join Smoke Pub Magic 8 Ball on top of the 2014 Budweiser Open 8-Ball Thursday League.
Team SCS kept the game close after the first five singles matches and two doubles pairings as they were only trailing by 1, 4-3, with the second five-game series in the singles event about to start.
But one by one the Jhonny’s crew lost to their Armatech opponents dropping all five games to wrap up the contest.
The final three doubles matches, which was still played since each win will reflect on the standings, also failed to help Team SCS’ bid to climb out of the cellar in the eight-team field.
