Crawdaddy Invitational (Birmingham, AL)
It’s no surprise when Jay “Sofa” Lomenick comes into town there is a ton of food, beer and smack talk. At least this time Sofa was able to pull out a win — not as champion, but it is a step in the right direction, no doubt.
The Crawdaddy Invitational was thrown together at last minute with first-time tournament rookies showing a strong stand; Jeff Bolt, Ben Templin, Stephen Franklin and Amy Crain. The rest of the field was rounded out by Salmons.
SoMoCo Champ Michelle Salmon started strong, but ended up in the Losers Bracket thanks to her father-in-law Chuck. She wasted no time climbing ranks by dominating her husband Scott and challenging new comer Ben Templin before coming back to crush Chuck to make it into the Championship match.
Jeff Bolt went undefeated until bowing out to Michelle Salmon after a two-game fight to the death— 15-12 and 16-14. Bolt will be one to watch in upcoming SoMoCo Tournaments. Sleep with one eye open…
