Hatch Carves Another Win

Hatch Carves Another WinIn a rather controversial second-round match, Dennis “The Hatchetman” Hatch sideswiped Keith McCready. Hatch broke and ran the first rack then traded the next three racks to tie the score at 2 apiece. At that point Hatch flew past McCready, winning the next six racks for a final 8-2 score.Day 3 image galleryMatch schedule“I feel pretty confident,” said Hatch with a smile. “Sunday I played flawless. I took the day off yesterday, but today I feel like I’m struggling a little bit, though. My first match, anyway. My morning match, I missed a lot of balls. I should have won the match and beaten Sammy Jones. I played good against Keith just now.
“The ref walked in front of me twice, and I missed both times. I wasn’t rude about it, I just asked him if he could move out of the way, please. Then he called another ref over, and I was shooting the seven in the corner, and the ref’s sitting right in front of the pocket. So I stood up and said, ‘Can you just move over?’ and he gave me a dirty look like I did something wrong … I wasn’t trying to be rude, I was just trying to tell him he was bothering me.”It was a whole ‘nother story from the Keith camp, who hasn’t had a win yet today. “Well, the score was two-two, and every time I’m shootin’ a ball, he’s sharkin’ me, waving his stick, goin’ through the routine that he always does when he plays,” McCready exclaimed, waving his hands to emphasize his point. “And then once he got loose in the game, it was over. It was real bad—you know, you don’t have to try to beat a guy like that and go through all them preliminaries like the way he does. But he did it, and that’s the way he does it. If he’s winnin’, everything’s all right, but if the score’s tied, he’s goin’ to do everything in the world to shark you.”Round 2 Groups Match schedule for July 25, 2006Group 41Kirkwood, JasonHeuwagen, LeeEllerby, SarahHarper, CoreyBasavich, DanielGarrahan, TheodoreGroup 42Bennett, KeithPagulayan, AlexMonday, SamOrme, ChrisFrost, ScottVarner, NickGroup 43Ginn, AnthonyStrickland, EarlPaez, IsmaelPinegar, JonathanWalden, JamesHofstatter, GerdaGroup 44Hundal, RajDiks, RicoOwen, GabeKoukiadakis, AndreasBroxson, DavidBroumpton, RichardGroup 45Reyes, EfrenBustamante, FranciscoHarrison, PhilipAdkins, DeeMacias, JonathanKlasovic, AndrejaGroup 46Sigel, MikeManalo, MarlonJones, Loree JonLohtander, MarkoCatledge, WayneHann, QuintenGroup 47Boyes, KarlFisher, AllisonAbood, GaryPutnik, IvicaBarger, FloydBeckley, JeffGroup 48Orcollo, DennisAlcano, RonatoSan Souci, GeorgeDeuel, CoreyWims, JohnValle, GandyGroup 49Archer, JohnnyDaulton, ShannonMcKenna, RobertImmonen, MikaO'Sullivan, RonnieStorm, TomGroup 50Hohmann, ThorstenOrtmann, OliverTot, SandorPeach, DarylTademy, MarkCalderon, JerryGroup 51Hatch, DennisSchmidt, JohnBreedlove, GeorgeFu, JianboMcCready, KeithJones, SammyGroup 52Souquet, RalfButera, SalJoyner, CliffStalev, EvgenyWetch, JimmyMajid, ImranGroup 53Zimmerman, MichaelLining, AntonioLuat, RodolfoVickery, HowardPutnam, ShawnGroce, BrianGroup 54Foldes, VilmosEckert, RalphWatson, GerryYounger, JoelMekari, TomokiPotier, PaulGroup 55Marquez, MarcoMartinez, RafaelMorris, RodneyDavenport, KimBeaufils, YannickHopkins, AllenGroup 56Raybone, NeilMoore, SteveNevel, LarryOkumura, TakeshiJuva, MarkusJahnke, BernardGroup 57Petroni, FabioAppleton, DarrenMontal, EdwinJones, JeremyHunter, BobbySambajon, SantosGroup 58Chamat, MarcusMorris, CarlFrank, TroyWilliams, CharlieBartram, ChristopherTownsend, ScottyGroup 59Chohan, TonyHill, MichaelSchmidt, MichaelGay, LeilLely, AlexFeijen, NielsGroup 60Salvas, LucVan den Berg, NickKucharo, JonHogue, GregMatlock, DavidMladenovic, GoranVisit Inside POOL Magazine for the latest news from the sport of pool and billiards and the IPT North American Open 8-Ball Championship.
