The IT&E Voyagers along with the Destroyers and the Docomo Hustlers, despite losing their match last Tuesday, are in the thick of things for the Tuesday League crown.
The Voyagers enjoy the top view with a 26-13 record followed closely by the Destroyers’ 23-16 slate with the Hustlers not far behind at 21-18.
The StraightBlackBall (17-22), Jonny’s Titans (16-23), and Crazy 8 (14-25) complete the standings in the six-team field.
The Voyagers were victorious in its 3-on-3 match up against the StraightBlackBall, 10-3, to remain on top of the leaderboard.
Mark Butac, R.J. Mascarinas, and Brian Nelvis bested the trio of Neil Ayson, Rodel Dela Cruz, and Rey Hermogenes for the win.
All 13 matches are always played since each win or loss would be added to the record of the team, with the squad wit the most victories clinching the season crown.
Butac, Mascarinas, and Nelvis swept all three matches in the Singles 8-Ball events for the lopsided contest against the StraightBlackBall.
The Destroyers and the Titans each completed 8-5 decisions against the Hustlers and the Crazy 8.
The foursome of Nolan Cultura, Jeff Garcia, Rico Montano, and Cesar Sangalang bested the seven-member crew of the Rowel Mariano-captained Hustlers.
It was almost the same story between the Titans and the Crazy 8 where Jack Thornsaket, John Reyes, Ray Matsunaga, and Randy Sablan outshooting the Crazy 8 crew of Warlee Ellama, Rey Pinangay, Zaldy Quebral, and Victor Formales.
Week 4 action resumes on Nov. 24 with the StraighBlackBall battling the Hustlers, the Voyagers hosting the Crazy 8, and the Destroyers visiting the Titans.
There will be no games in the Thursday League on Nov. 26, Thanksgiving Day.
Matches will resume on Dec. 3 with the Wild Bill’s Rack ‘N’ Roll facing the Jokers WIldBoyz, National Alamo taking up the Jokers Homeboyz, and Team SCS clashing with the Wild Bill’s Wild Wild West.
