Post-match breakdown
Fast start
Pedro took the lead-off 4-3 and set the tone right out of the gate.
2-for-2 on the hill
Jaime and Pedro both closed out hill-hill races. Cool under pressure.
Nothing given away
Zero sweeps conceded, zero bonus shots allowed. Tight defense across the whole night.
Couldn't shut the door
Anchor went down 3-3 with the team match within reach. That's the one to win.
Lost the lead
Was up by 2 at the high-water mark. Bleeding a lead in the back half is fixable — usually pace or shot selection.
Lost the heart-rate test
Vander dropped a hill-hill 3-4. One ball away — sharpen the close.
2 losses to lower SLs
Jonathan and Reinaldo both lost to lower-skilled opponents. Respect the handicap chart, then run the table.
