Krystal Docomo Hustlers continued their domination of the Saipan Billiards Association Budweiser Cup after claiming their fourth championship in a row Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
The Hustlers were undefeated in the Agingan Division of the Bud Cup for three weeks capping their fourth consecutive title with a 4-2 victory over Godfather\u2019s Rock Steady.<\/p>\n
The eventual champions opened their title bid in the Bud Cup with a 4-2 victory over their fiercest rival PTI Voyagers.<\/p>\n
In Week 2, the Hustlers showed no mercy over Islanders Rent A Car cruising to a 4-0 shutout win.<\/p>\n
The Hustlers picked up where it left off in the third and last week of the competition with a two-point win over Rock Steady.<\/p>\n
Two other teams joined the Agingan Division of the Bud Cup with USSP Wat-Ever and Coral Reef Shark Attack included on the list.<\/p>\n
The champion team was composed of Robert Sanciangco, James Lee, Senen Pangilinan, Joey Lucido, John Ricafort, Rowell Mariano, Erwin Gomez, and Jerry Soriano.<\/p>\n
Topping the Bud Cup allowed the Hustlers to redeem themselves from failing to win the Budweiser Open 8-Ball League.<\/p>\n
The Hustlers ruled the 8-Ball league for three straight years, before the PTI Voyagers stopped the former\u2019s run this season.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a hard time defending our title in the 8-Ball league because most of the time we played with a depleted lineup. Our players have work commitments during game time,\u201d said Soriano, who bowed to reclaim the title next year.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will make up for the lost chance next season,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Primo\u2019s Home Boys took the championship in the Obyan Division after beating Coral Reef Barracuda, 4-0.<\/p>\n
The Home Boys won their first match in the Obyan Division, downing the Krystal Perfect Spotters, 4-1. D’Pirates Huwa pulled off a 4-2 decision against USSP Fotten Palau in the other game in Week 1.<\/p>\n
In Week 2, the Home Boys defeated D’Pirates Huwa, 4-1, and complete a sweep with a shutout triumph over Coral Reef Barracuda.<\/p>\n
The Home Boys also prevailed in the Obyan Division of the 8-Ball league.<\/p>\n
Winners in the Bud Cup and the Budweiser Open 8-Ball League will be feted in an awards ceremony on Jan. 4 at Charley\u2019s Cabaret at Pacific Islands Club.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
