Earl wins the one pocket in Goldsboro

Earl Strickland finally one a tournament after a long two year dry spell. He played Larry Nevel in the finals at Goldsboro, North Carolina last Sunday. It was a very exciting match in which Larry and Earl both annihilated their opponents to reach the finals. The match went neck and neck as Earl hit a 8 and out with Larry having 3 games racing to 5 and 7 balls to win the 4th game to put him on the hill. Larry left Earl nothing but a bank into a ball on the long rail, and the mighty earl fired in the combination bank and proceeded to play position on a combination to force a ball over to the 2 froze balls on the spot so they could be broke apart and make the remainder of the balls on Larry's side of the table. This might be the most amazing 8 and out I have ever seen in my life. Earl has finally broke the ice. He finished 13 through 16th in the nine ball. Go Earl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
