The Crazy 8 bested the Smoke Pub Ali\u2019I Destroyers, 9-3, in the finals of the Budweiser Cup-Saipan Billiards Association Open 8-Ball Tuesday League.<\/p>\n

It was a 3-on-3 finals affair as both teams chose to field in their three best cue artists since nine of the 12 matches played in the race-to-nine contest were in singles.<\/p>\n

Rey Pinangay and Rodel Dela Cruz defeated Nolan Cultura and Cesar Sangalang to open up the Crazy 8\u2019s title bid.<\/p>\n

The Crazy 8 won four straight after that as Pinangay, Dela Cruz, and Victor Formales downed Cultura, Sangalang, and Jeff Garcia.<\/p>\n

Cultura gave the Destroyers their first win after beating Pinangay but Dela Cruz and Formales bounced back in the next two Singles matches to keep the Crazy 8 at a safer distance, 7-1.<\/p>\n

Cultura and Garcia kept on fighting for the Destroyers after emerging victorious in the last Partner\u2019s 8-Ball against Pinangay and Dela Cruz. Pinangay, however, moved the Crazy 8 to the title with another win over Cultura in the final set of Singles matches.<\/p>\n

Sangalang gave the Destroyers their last win when he bested Dela Cruz, while Formales sealed the Crazy 8\u2019s title win after thwarting Garcia.<\/p>\n

The Crazy 8, who placed third after the regular season, scored a 9-4 win over the Jokers STR8 Shooters then squeezed out a 9-8 decision over runner-up Smoke Pub Armatech Hustlers, who is responsible in knocking out regular season champions Jokers IT&E Voyagers, 9-2.<\/p>\n

The Destroyers pulled off a 9-4 triumph over the Abyss Homeboyz II to earn the right of facing the Crazy 8 in the title match.<\/p>\n

Guam-Saipan friendly<\/strong>
\nIn other billiards news, Saipan will be hosting Guam in a friendly 5-on-5 billiards tournament on Saturday at 2pm at the Abyss bar in Garapan.<\/p>\n

It will feature the most valuable players of each squad in an 8-nall, singles, and race-to-10 matches.<\/p>\n

Cultura, Patrick Cepeda, Manny Mariano, Jerry Soriano, and Rolly Villanueva will be representing Team Saipan.<\/p>\n

Darts Bud Light Cup<\/strong>
\nIn the Bud Light Cup\u2019s A division, the Smoke Pub Voyagers got the better of sister team Huntlaw in last Monday night\u2019s finals at their home bar in Garapan. The Voyagers coasted to a 9-1 victory.<\/p>\n

Jemar Merigmen, Jhun Agbuya, Cris Monsanto, and Jhun Echave quickly imposed their will and snuffed out any chance for the Huntlaw to recover to complete the easy win.<\/p>\n

Mario Abo gave the Huntlaw its lone win when it defeated Agbuya in the Singles 501 Double In\/Double Out event.<\/p>\n

The Voyagers tripped the Sand Juvy 101 Proofers, 9-5, to earn a finals berth, while the Huntlaw followed suit after a 9-4 crushing of Sakude.<\/p>\n

The Voyagers also defeated the Mafia, 9-4, while the Huntlaw trounced No Fear, 9-5, to arrange a finals showdown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
