Allison Fisher Wins Great Lakes 9-Ball Pool Classic

It was a battle of the Fishers and this just in from the WPBA:

Kelly won the lag, broke and made a ball but was forced to push out on the 1. After a short safety battle, Kelly finally had an open shot and ran out. Allison didn't pocket a ball on her break in the 2nd game and Kelly ran out to take an immediate 2-0 lead. Kelly had the advantage going into game 3 with the break only to find her momentum brought up short by another safety battle. Allison caught up to tie the score 2 all after Kelly left an open shot on the 2 ball and Allison ran out.

Game 5 saw Kelly running out again to once again take the lead. Instead she missed a long cut down the side rail on the 7 leaving Allison an easy three ball out. But Kelly tied the match 3-3 all when Allison left an open shot on the two after a short one rail kick. Kelly's focus seemed to waiver in Game 7. She broke, made the 6 ball then missed the 1 in the side. Allison proceeded to run out going ahead 4-3. going into Game 8 with the break.

Kelly came to the table in Game 8 after Allison failed to pocket a ball off her break and tied the match 4-4. But she gave Allison ball in hand after a safety battle in the next game, giving Allison another one game lead, 5-4, and the break. She broke and ran out to lead 6-4 and reach the hill first. Kelly had the break in the next game, but a rattled one ball was the end of her run. Allison ran out for the game, match and second title of 2008 with a 7-4 final score!
