Mike "The Baby-Face Assassin" Davis
takes Blaze Stop 8 |
| The Blaze nine-ball tour made
its 8th stop on Sunday, April 9th, 2006 at Rockaway Billiards
in Rockaway, New Jersey. Players such as Mike Davis, Al Lapena,
Eddie Abraham, and Danny Basavich made their way to the tournament.
A special thanks goes to the owner of Rockaway Billiards, Bob
Geurra and his staff, for making this a successful stop in the
Blaze nine-ball tour.
Leading the top half of the bracket was Shaun Wilkie cutting
through his competition. Wilkie won by at least three against
all of his opponents. When against Kent Wuethrich, Wilkie didn't
bat an eye beating him 7-2. Al Lapena and Eric Grasman weren't
much of competitors for Wilkie either each losing against him
7-3. Matt Krah put up more of a fight but wasn't any use and
still ended up getting beat 7-4.
The bottom half of the bracket was led by Eddie Abraham. Abraham
didn't go easy on his adversaries and took the win against Melissa
Burr 7-1 and Wali Muhammad 7-3. Greg Antonakos and Bill Gircenko
both fought a hard match against Abraham, but still came out
on the bottom 7-4. |
| Playing for the hot seat was Shawn
Wilkie verses Eddie Abraham. Both were not willing to give into
the others, but by the end Wilkie came out on top, winning over
Abraham, 7-5.
Leading the one loss side was Mike "The Baby-Face Assassin"
Davis slicing through the competition with barely any effort.
Greg Antonakos didn't have a chance against Davis and lost 7-0.
Carmen Lombardo also went against "The Baby-Face Assassin"
but wasn't able to catch up with him, losing 7-4. Eddie Abraham
put up a fight but still managed to lose 7-3.
In the finals it was Shaun Wilkie vs Mike Davis. The Baby-Face
Assassin struck again coming from behind winning 9-6. |
