Summer 2019 playoffs got underway tonight with a match between 3-seed Blue and 6-seed Red. Red started hot, scoring the opening point and then converting two breaks to lead Blue 3-0. Blue came back to take half 8-7. Blue continued their solid play in the second half, going on to win 15-8. Great spirit, Red. Blue advances to play 2-seed Green in the early game on Thursday.
The second playoff game featured 4-seed White versus 5-seed Black. Black neglected to score in the first half, with White getting seven breaks in a row to lead 8-0. White scored again to open the second half, 9-0, before Black finally got on the board. The game was back and forth after that, with the final White 15 - Black 7. Black could claim moral victory for at least playing to a 7-7 tie in the second half. White advances to play 1-seed Yellow Thursday in the late game.
In spite of some spirited play by Red and Black, the playoffs are all chalk so far. Both match-ups on Thursday should be good games - everyone is encouraged to come out to watch.
