Brothers and Sossei Split Mezz Honors Mezz Pro-Am Tour / Drexel Hill, PA by Jose Burgos Josh Brothers and Jeremy Sossei split top honors at the Mezz Pro-Am Tour’s July 25 installment. The $1,000-added tournament drew 52 players to Drexeline Billiards in Drexel Hill, PA. Brothers raced through the top half of the bracket, scoring victories over Joe Dadich 7-0, Joe Chester 7-1, Raphael Saldana 7-2, Mark Stewart 7-4, and Danny Bell 7-5. Sossei took care of the bottom half with wins over Mike Miller 7-4, Tom Zippler 7-0, Brett Stottlemyer 7-5, and Shaun Wilkie 7-5. Inevitably, Brothers and Sossei collided in the hot seat match, which went hill-hill, and Brothers earned the 7-6 victory.

Results: 1st Josh Brothers $1,056 Jeremy Sossei $856 3rd Manny Chau $390 4th Shaun Wilkie $225 5th Dave Daya $150 Danny Bell 7th Mark Stewart $100 Brett [...]
