2007 Midland Invitational (Results)

K O sunk the first shot he took in this tournament and would drain a total of five, all in his first three games. But in the end, Sauce was Boss. Ron Gambardella turned in the defensive performance of his lifetime, robbing several cups hit throughout both the round robin and bracket portions of the tournament. Papa Goose locked up up his second straight Midland Invitational and KO got his first taste of a major championship. In what was perhaps the most balanced field in Meriden Beer Die history, KO & Sauce overcame the eventual third place finishers, Ricky & Big Cat, who played stellar all day and knocked out prohibitive favorites Joey & Kelvin by beating them twice. In the championship the Goosenecks met a fired up JJ and an upstart Slo-Jo who turned in a tremendous tournament in his own right. Sauce & KO just were not to be denied today, however, winning their final two games without needing a sink. I guess Suace chose the right partner. Congrats to the champs!

1st Place -- Gooseneck II (KO & Sauce)
2nd Place -- Village Cordial (JJ & Slo-Jo)
3rd Place -- Twin Towers (The Rick & Big Cat)
