IT&E Voyagers went head to head against the Obyan division leader Best Choice and soundly defeated them, 6-1, on the road to improve its win-loss card to 75-30.<\/p>\n
Agingan\u2019s IT&E Incredibles fell to Jonny\u2019s Home Boyz, 3-4, in an away match, but still remained in second place with its 72-33 overall record. Home Boyz is tied with the Docomo Hustlers with identical slates of 70-35. The Hustlers shut out Obyan\u2019s VFW Post 3457 X-Tream, 7-0, at home. <\/p>\n
Best Choice holds a 50-55 record, enough for a four-game edge in the six-team Obyan field. Second-ranked Fotten Palau (46-59), of USSP Peleliu Club, missed an opportunity to gain some ground and dropped its match to Wild Bill\u2019s Bar & Grill\u2019s Shark Attack, 3-4, on the road. Shark Attack improved in the standings and is tied for third place with X-Tream; both teams share 38-67 cards.<\/p>\n

In Obyan play, X-Tream\u2019s George Lizardo sunk the 8-ball off the break for a second time, while teammate Chester Cuento ran the rack a division-best three times this season; seven other players pulled off the feat once.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
