Day-3 Matches Overview:

As Earl Strickland, a veteran and a hero, and Shane Van Boening played their 100th match in the Mosconi Cup; things started off quickly. The match against Europe’s Jayson Shaw and David Alcaide was close, with the USA winning 3-2. Strickland and Van Boening went to the hill after Alcaide’s scratch on the break in rack six. The two probably didn’t like how close it got, especially when Shaw missed the nine in rack seven and evened up for a hill-hill finish. Strickland and Van Boening gave each other ideas that helped the USA win games 5-4.

Alcaide went back out to play Tyler Styer in a singles match, and the crowd hoped the momentum would stay with the USA. Up until 4-0 up, Alcaide was just cueing, and there wasn’t much room for error. Styer sat still for a lot of the game, and for the first time this week, he had trouble making balls off the break. The man from Wisconsin pulled out the jump cue as he ran out the fifth to make it a contest. One more rack went by before Alcaide put his stamp on the match to tie it again at 5-5.

Strickland was right in the middle of the action, playing with Skyler Woodward against World Pool Masters winner Joshua Filler and US Open winner Francisco Sanchez Ruiz in the 11th match of the cup. The first few games were close, but Sanchez Ruiz showed why he is the best nine-ball player in the world by making an epic bank shot that put him up 3-1. At times, Strickland fought hard to save Woodward’s face, but it wasn’t enough as Sanchez Ruiz made a winning golden break 5-2 to give Europe the overall lead.

Strickland didn’t have time to think about his last match because he was about to play the European Open champion, Albin Ouschan. It was a hellish time for the veteran. After getting a quick two-rack lead, Strickland didn’t see the table much for the rest of the game. Those few seconds cost him a lot, as Ouschan came back strong to win 5-2 with five in a row.

The big match between Van Boening and vice-captain Woodward of the United States and Shaw and Filler of Europe always promised to be exciting, and it did so in a way that not many people could have predicted before the first ball was potted. Van Boening and Woodward had the first clean sweep of the week, which kept the United States in the tie going into the day’s last match. It was very interesting.

Shaw has been a problem for the USA for a long time, but he has had trouble finding a rhythm this week. But things changed when he caught Oscar Dominguez to give Europe a 2-0 lead before the last day. Shaw had gotten ahead by two racks, but Dominguez tied it up at two each. From there, Shaw hit a new gear to bring home another European point.

Tomorrow is the last day of the 2022 Mosconi Cup, held at Bally’s Las Vegas. The score is currently 8-6 in favor of Europe.

Team Europe won day two of the 2022 Mosconi Cup against the USA, tying the score at 4-4 at Bally’s Las Vegas live Sky Sports in the UK, DAZN in the USA, Canada, Italy, and Spain, Viaplay in the Baltics, Scandinavia, and Poland, and networks worldwide.

2022 Mosconi Cup Day 2 Overview

Earl Strickland and Jayson Shaw were chosen for the Fans’ Choice Singles Match, which started on Day 2. Strickland wanted to turn back the clock, but he did more than that when he came back to take an early 3-0 lead that made Shaw sit quietly in his chair. Shaw found his rhythm again in the fourth rack, and Strickland’s costly scratch in the fifth rack brought Shaw within one. When Strickland missed the ball in the sixth while trying to cut the eight in, Shaw had the easiest chance to tie things up again. Shaw, a two-time Most Valuable Player, soon finished the comeback. He excited the crowd and brought Team Europe within one game, bringing their overall score to 3-2.

Shane Van Boening playing Joshua Filler in the first singles match was never going to be boring, and it wasn’t. Van Boening ran out of balls in the third rack, giving Filler an easy 1-9 combination to win 2-1. There was a lot of life in the match, and when Filler had to drop out for an untimely reason, the score was tied at 3-3, much to the delight of the US fans. Filler lost his position in the seventh, but he had an amazing runout to first get to the top of the hill. After a brilliant break and run, Europe was tied at 3-3 overall.

The USA needed to stop Europe from winning, and it was up to Tyler Styer and Oscar Dominguez to do it against Filler and Albin Ouschan in match seven of the cup. Nothing could separate them until 3-3, when Styer made an uncharacteristic miss on a six into the middle pocket, allowing Filler and Ouschan to come back into the game and reach the hill first, making it look like an easy runout for the USA. Dominguez went airborne on the five in the next rack, a mistake because the Europeans finished the rest of the rack to get their third point of the day.

Francisco Sanchez Ruiz played Skyler Woodward, the USA’s vice-captain, in his first singles match. This was the last thing that happened that day. The crowd was cheering, but it quieted down when Sanchez Ruiz took a 2-0 lead. Woodward got lucky when he banked the six ball for the entire table length and then got a good position on the seven to cut the deficit. The crowd at home had high hopes, and Woodward quickly turned the game around to lead 3-2 and then 4-2 in a short time.

The play was stopped when Woodward got to the top of the hill because of a global broadcast outage. The players had to leave the track while a fix was made so people at home could keep watching live. When they got back, Sanchez Ruiz broke dry, and Woodward made sure that the USA would go into day three tied at 4-4 overall with a professional runout that included a beautiful jump on the one, securing a crucial point as Europe won day two 3-1.

Day 1 Overview

Team Europe entered the team match wanting to win the tournament opener for the first time since 2018, while Team USA was counting on the raucous support of the home fans, and they got it with an outstanding first point, 5-3.

World Cup of Pool champions Francisco Sanchez Ruiz and David Alcaide were making their debuts for Mexico against the United States, while match two was Earl Strickland and Oscar Dominguez’s first appearance with Jeremy Jones’ USA team after returning from injury. Though Strickland and Dominguez had their chances against the Spanish team, Sanchez Ruiz found his stride in his maiden Mosconi Cup, with Alcaide leading him to an overwhelming 5-1 triumph.

Fans were screaming for more from the home team USA, and they got it when vice-captain and starting pitcher Skyler Woodward faced up against Joshua Filler. Filler went to the hill first at 4-3, but Woodward had a chance to tie it up with the eighth rack of consistency thanks to an alternative break. More than he bargained for, the Blue Grass Bad Ass caught a golden break that allowed him to win the week’s first hill-hill. The ninth rack was kicked off by a sharp safety play, and it seemed like Filler was about to receive his chance. With the pressure off, Woodward went to the top of the key and scored the second point of the day for the United States.

Matches Overview

The momentum had flipped in the United States’ favor, and they secured a two-point lead heading into day two when world champions Shane Van Boening and Tyler Styer upset Albin Ouschan and Jayson Shaw in a thrilling hill-hill race.

This generation’s leading man After the day was over, Woodward said on Off the Rail, “It’s never easy playing Joshua. Although I did fail to make the nine one day, you should use this to your advantage. I urged myself to keep pushing through tough times and taking risks wherever possible. Made it clear to the group that I wanted to be the focus of their attention. I thrive under intense conditions. They won’t be as nervous about their next battle if I win.

The pressure was relieved, but only somewhat. I’m happy I could go out there and secure the victory for the United States after they came out loose. A lot of people are crammed around this table. The two side pockets are fantastic. That bunch is insane. To put it simply, I approve. The addition of pockets on the side is brilliant. They’re so resilient that it’s scary. This is the standard for a professional pool.

Day 2 of the 2022 Mosconi Cup features four additional matches, beginning with the Fans’ Choice Singles Match.
