|---|
 | | 3rd place Don Q's Slow Start (15-4) was out for revenge in their match against 5th place Carpinteria Knights (13-6) The Knights had four table runs in their week 6 win over Slow Start, but in this match, turnabout was fair play. Al Vafa had three table runs, captain Damian Rebman had one table run, and Don Q's escaped Carpinteria with an 8-7 victory. This was an exciting match from start to finish. Rebman opened with his league-leading 15th table run of the season, and Don Q's jumped out to a 2-0 lead. After two-game winners Paul Edmunds and Scott Santella evened the match at 2-2, Vafa got his first table run to put Don Q's back on top. Edmunds' table run in game 8 evened the score just before Vafa broke and ran on Santella. The Knights took the next two games and briefly enjoyed their only lead of the match, 6-5. Jack Poet beat James Maertens to tie the score at 6-6, then Vafa's third table run put Don Q's on the hill at 7-6. Santella beat Rebman in game 14 to force a hill-hill game between Carp captain Dave Deanda and Jeremy Tessmer. Tessmer made a beautiful kick shot on the 8-ball to give Slow Start the win. This was Vafa's third career perfect match, and his three runs tied him with Damian for the league lead. His 50 points vaulted him ahead of Rebman and into to lead in 'A' Division. The loss ends a four-match win streak for the Knights. |
