The Jokers WildBoyz breezed past Jonny\u2019s Team SCS to stay within striking distance of the Top 2 teams in the Budweiser Open 8-Ball Thursday League held last week at Jokers Bar and Grill in Garapan.<\/p>\n

The WildBoyz were a rude host to SCS, running away with an 11-2 decision behind the cue sticks of Patrick Cepeda, Ray Matsunaga, John Reyes, and Randy Sablan.<\/p>\n

Bryan Fabre and Jerry Tiu scored the two wins for Team SCS as they fell behind by 1-5 early in the game.<\/p>\n

The WildBoyz now has a 38-27 record, just one win away from fellow Jokers-backed squad Homeboyz\u2019s 39-26 slate and four away from the 42-23 of the league-leading National Alamo Car Rental.<\/p>\n

The Wild Bill\u2019s Wild Wild West (28-37), Wild Bill\u2019s Rack \u2018N\u2019 Roll (25-40), and Team SCS (23-42) form the lower half of the standings.<\/p>\n

Alamo also had an easy time against Rack \u2018N\u2019 Roll with a 10-3 triumph, while Homeboyz completed an 8-5 win over the Wild Wild West.<\/p>\n

In the Tuesday League, the Jokers IT&E Voyagers and sister squad Destroyers remain 1-2 in the standings after last week’s results against their respective opponents.<\/p>\n

The Voyagers trounced the Docomo Hustlers, 8-5, for a league-best 47-31 mark, while the Destroyers are close behind at 46-32 following a 9-4 victory against the Jonny\u2019s Crazy 8 (32-46).<\/p>\n

The loss dropped the Hustlers to 41-37 with the Jonny\u2019s Titans improving to 35-43 after a 9-4 win over the Jokers StraightBlackBall (33-45).<\/p>\n

Games today in the Tuesday League will have the StraightBlackBall testing the Destroyers, the Voyagers facing the Titans, and the Hustlers going up against the Crazy 8.<\/p>\n

In the Thursday League, the Triple W\u2019s take on the leaders Alamo, while Team SCS host the Rack \u2018N\u2019 Roll with the Homeboyz visiting the WildBoyz on Dec. 17 before matches take a break for two play dates on Dec. 24 and 31, Christmas and New Year\u2019s Eve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
