[POOL] Game called for 6PM

[Hovland, Paul]

I forgot to check the standings last night, but based on the updates from Dean this morning, it looks like we entered the night in second place, 1 match behind Nice Rack.  Thus, by virtue of our 3-2 performance, we've moved into a tie for first place.  Way to go, Moe.

> Oops! There was a miscalculation and Martino's matchup was supposed to be a 2:4.  Martino and Dustin resumed their match as soon as John vs Gene was over.  Martino pretended it was the first game in another 1:4 match.  The strategy worked. He got off to a hot start, winning the game and the match, 2-0.

The second game went back and forth and it looked like Paul might force a third game, but he ended up with a tough angle on the 8 and scratched into the side, losing the match 2-0.

I’m a maybe for showing up at all, but if I do it probably won’t be until 7:00 and only for an hour or two.  Hopefully John V or Roger can cover the fifth slot.
