Davis Earns Rights to New NicknameEgg Harbor, NJ / Blaze 9-Ball Tourby Matthew PingorMike Davis earned the honor of receiving a new nickname when he placed first amid a 46-player field at the Blaze 9-Ball Tour’s April 2, stop. Dropping in at Atlantic City Billiards Club of Egg Harbor, NJ, the extravaganza put out $1,500. Davis pushed around a few ideas for his new alias and decided to go with, Mike “The Baby Face Assassin” Davis. The hot seat match saw Joe Frady pair up with Danny Basavich. Frady was not much of a problem for Basavich. He did manage to show four wins before Basavich ended the affair 7-4. Moving up in his world, Davis was busy hacking his way out of the darker bracket. In the quarterfinals he ran into Al Lapina. He then proceeded to run him over, again and again … seven times, to be exact. Lapina is usually a strong contender, but this weekend, Davis was the stronger. The match ended with Lapina taking fourth and Davis taking the responsibility of a semifinal match, 7-4.
In that semifinal match, Davis gave Frady his coat and pushed him out the door. Frady tried to stay, but his efforts to hold the table became fruitless as Davis gave him his second loss, 7-3. With just one more peg to go, Davis was ready for Basavich. These two took the finals to a lengthy finish. Had Basavich put more than four wins on the board, the match would have lasted longer, but that was all. Placing first on this Sunday, Davis won 9-4.         Results:1st Mike Davis2nd Danny Basavich3rd Joe Frady4th Al Lapina5th Jose GarciaNiel MacGregor7th Billy KirschnerEd SheahanVisit Inside POOL Magazine for the latest news from the sport of billiards and pool.
