With strong play at the top of the lineup and the finishing touch at the bottom, Abby’s Acers edged out Village Park Saturday morning 3-2 in Marietta.
The win kept the Acers in playoff contention; they are in good shape to take the second-place slot pending a decisive win next Saturday at North Fulton.
It came down to the #5 doubles slot, as Mariel Cordero and Dunn Neugebauer were blown out 6-2 in the first set. But as their opponents wore down, the Acer’s duo picked it up for a 6-4, 6-4 win to clinch the match.
“I had to show off for my girlfriend Mandy “American Vision” Mullen,” Neugebauer said. “I saw her over there with her hot pink hat and her new car and I just had to win.”
Said Cordero, “I knew we’d kick colo.”
The match started in convincing fashion for our local heroes, as Andrew and Katie pulled off a 7-6, 6-3 win at No.1 to set the positive stage.
At #2, Brad “Thunderball Hendrickson and Hadley Miller won 6-3, 7-6 to give the Acers a 2-0 lead.
Things got rough in the middle of the lineup, however. Mike and Abby played hard and forced a third set, but went down at #3. At #4, Diane and Jay lost two hard-fought sets to set the stage for the final match.
The Acers didn’t have time for a celebratory luncheon, as Diane is fixing a nice roast at her house tonight while Abby is bringing a salad. “Come hungry,” Abby insisted.
Diane wasn’t available for comment as she was already in the kitchen.
Stay tuned next week for the final chapter of regular season before hopefully moving on to the playoffs. Stay tuned!!!
