The Jokers IT&E Voyagers hardly broke a sweat in claiming the Budweiser Open 8-Ball Tuesday League crown after a 9-1 rout of the Jokers Hustlers in last week\u2019s finals. <\/p>\n
Mark Butac and Brian Nelvis opened up the Voyagers\u2019 title campaign by beating Rowel Mariano and Senen Pangilinan in the Partner\u2019s 8-Ball.<\/p>\n
The Voyagers were unstoppable from there, winning five straight in the Singles and Partner\u2019s 8-Ball events courtesy of Nelvis, Butac, Rolly Villanueva, R.J. Mascarinas, and Roman Villanueva.<\/p>\n
Rowel Mariano scored the Hustlers\u2019 lone victory when he halted Butac\u2019s winning run in the second set of Singles 8-Ball matches.<\/p>\n
Nelvis, on the other hand, sealed the Voyagers\u2019 victory after beating Robert Sanciangco in the last Singles 8-Ball in the race-to-nine contest. The Voyagers and Hustlers renewed their rivalry in yesterday\u2019s SBA Cup with the final results unavailable at press time.<\/p>\n
In other results, the Destroyers came back from two games down in escaping with a 9-8 triumph against the Titans to finish third.<\/p>\n
Nolan Cultura and Cesar Sangalang defeated Ray Matsunaga and Randy Sablan in the final Partner\u2019s 8-Ball to break an 8-all count.<\/p>\n
The Destroyers and Titans again clashed last night with a finals berth at stake. The winner will face the team that would emerge victorious from the Voyagers-Hustlers match in the semifinals.<\/p>\n
The Jokers StraightBlackBall and the Jonny\u2019s Crazy 8 collide next week with the winner moving to the finals on April 19.<\/p>\n
In the Thursday League, the final matches tomorrow would determine the champion with National Alamo Car Rental holding a145-102 card against the 144-103 slate of the Homeboyz. <\/p>\n
The standings were updated after the Homeboyz\u2019s 7-6 edging of Alamo last Thursday.<\/p>\n
The Jokers WildBoyz also has a shot at the title following a 12-1 thumping of the Rack \u2018N\u2019 Roll. It improved to 141-106, while its opponent dropped to 100-147. Wild Bill\u2019s (129-116) downed cellar dweller Jonny\u2019s Team SCS (82-165), 7-4, in the other match.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
