Holt and McNally both came into the race-to-9 final match playing their best pool.  The offensive contest went back and forth until it was 8 apiece.  In the decisive game, McNally controlled the table and ran out to the victory.    Results:1st Pat McNally2nd Lee Holt3rd Billy Kirshner4th Phil Sherman5th Frankie Hernandez, Josh Brothers7th Trenton Marty, Brandon Sluzalis  Visit InsidePOOL for the latest news from the Hampton Ridge 9-Ball Tour.
