Today's Action: Day 13 Results!
Game 1:
Toss It (Jean/Mike B) vs. Lollipop Guild (JParm/JBrown)
The winner of this game would be the winner of the Loser's Bracket and earn the right to play Junkiebone in the finals. Lollipop Guild traveled deeply into the Winner's Bracket, losing only in the last pairing. If they won, it would be a rematch with Junkiebone for the title. Toss It playing their fifth game in three days, have battled back from the edge of elimination time and time again playing a slew of hotly contested games with no easy victories. Two of the best teams in the tournament, head to head, winner take all, loser goes home. This one, as they say, had all the makings. Would Toss It be worn out from all of the tension or battle tested and stoked on momentum? Would Lollipop Guild be too complacent, never having stared elimination in the face before or would their confidence be the ingredient to stopping Toss It's bum-rush to the top?
The points were tight, the action very fast, but Toss It was able to pick their way to an 8-point advantage that they weren't about to relinquish. Lollipop Guild dug themselves too deep a hole to come back from. They weren't as sharp as they could have been and Toss It couldn't have been much sharper.
Toss It was one point away from elimination without any tournament wins two days ago (remember back to their match with Roscoe P. Coltrane and how they had lost advantage at deuce!) and now they're in the Championship Pair. Unbelievable. Nobody predicted that. Now it's Junkiebone's turn to face the juggernaut.
Toss It over Lollipop Guild
21-12
