Alamo, behind Rey Hermogenes and Manny Mariano\u2019s impressive performances, cruised to an 11-2 triumph over the undermanned Wild Wild West side to grab the early lead in the 20-week long league that ends on April 7, 2016.<\/p>\n

Hermogenes went undefeated in the five matches in the singles and partner\u2019s 8-ball events that he played. Mariano duplicated the feat four times.<\/p>\n

Hermogenes opened up the one-sided contest by beating Victor Formales in singles play then his team up Mariano resulted to a walkover win after Wild Bill\u2019s could only come up with only three players.<\/p>\n

Wild Bill\u2019s had to default another singles event then two more matches in partner\u2019s 8-ball. Their two wins were courtesy of Formales and Nong Detdon.<\/p>\n

In other games, the Jokers Homeboyz rallied from 0-3 down in completing a 9-4 decision against Jokers WildBoyz, while the Wild Bill\u2019s Rack \u2018N\u2019 Roll escaped with a 7-6 win over Jonny\u2019s Team SCS.<\/p>\n

Action in SBA\u2019s two weekly leagues continues tomorrow with the Jokers StraightBlackBall going up against sister team and early leader Destroyers, while the Jonny\u2019s Crazy 8 will visit the Jokers Docomo Hustlers and Jonny\u2019s Titans will host the Jokers IT&E Voyagers.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, it will be an all-Wild Bill\u2019s match between the Wild Wild West and the Rack \u2018N\u2019 Roll and National Alamo facing the Homeboyz. Team SCS and the Homeboyz will duke it off in the other contest to be held at Jonny\u2019s Bar & Grill in Garapan.<\/p>\n

League organizers are also informing all teams in the Thursday League that there will be no games on Thanksgiving (Nov. 26), Christmas Eve, and New Year\u2019s Eve to give players the chance to celebrate the holidays.<\/p>\n

There will be games on Nov. 19, the Thursday before Thanksgiving, while the last contest before going on a two-week break is on Dec. 17. Action resumes on Jan. 7, 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
