The 9 Eleven Wildboyz scored a come-from-behind 8-7 win over sister team Marianas Water in last week\u2019s Saipan Billiards Association Budweiser Open 8-Ball Tuesday League.<\/p>\n
Ray Matsunaga and Randy Sablan delivered for the Wildboyz in the final game to improve their win-loss record to 59-32 and shadow the league-leading Amari\u2019s IT&E Destroyers (62-29). Marianas Water, despite the slim loss, remains at third with a 58-33 slate, followed closely by the 57-34 record of Brannon\u2019s Docomo Hustlers. The 9 Eleven Str8 Black Ball (51-40), Tasha\u2019s The Masters Touch (45-46) and Brannon\u2019s 670 Builders (32-59) complete the standings.<\/p>\n
In the Wildboyz-Marianas Water game, the latter was enjoying a 4-1 lead and seemed pretty much in control of their race-to-eight match. The Wildboyz, however, won three straight with Sablan scoring a victory over Roel Barreto in the Singles 8 Ball then teaming up with Pat Cepeda in beating the duo of Jerry Soriano and Marvin Deocares in the Partners side.<\/p>\n
Bill Cepeda defeated Cecilio Bisana in the other Singles 8 Ball match for the Wildboyz\u2019s other victory. The opposing teams then split the next four games, leaving the final Partners 8-Ball as the deciding match. That was when Matsunaga and Sablan delivered for the Wildboyz, as they topped Soriano and Deocares to seal the win.<\/p>\n
In other games, the Hustlers escaped with an 8-5 win over the Builders, while the Destroyers coasted to an 11-2 victory against the Masters Touch.<\/p>\n
