Patsy’s 9-5 Win Caps Perfect Run at ASA Major
Patsy’s of New York entered the ASA Major Tournament as the # 2 team in the ISC World rankings, but it managed to knock off both teams that held the # 1 spot during the 2007 season, the Riversharks, and Broken Bow. ISC # 6 ranked The Farm dropped its first game of the tournament on opening night to Broken Bow, NY, in a tough draw, but they battled all the way back to the championship game before falling to unbeaten Patsy’s. Along the way, The Farm rattled off 7 straight wins, and avenged the earlier loss to Broken Bow by eliminating them in a Saturday afternoon game today, 7-6, enroute to a second place finish, while the other winner’s bracket finalist, the Riversharks finished third, though dropping their final two games.
Circle Tap finished fourth, while Broken Bow and Midland tied for fifth. Midland dropped their second game of the tournament, to the Riversharks, then notched 5 consecutive wins before being eliminated by Circle Tap.
