American Legion Park, West Des Moines - In true competitive fashion, "BY" prepared for today's semi-final match with SV by practicing with both Dynasty Champion JT, and prospective future champ SB. "BY's" preparation was evident during the warm up as he pounded noticeably stronger shots SV's way! Had "BY" played the match as well as he warmed up there most certainly would have been a different result.During match play both sets were similar in that SV held a 3-2 lead in each - with the pivotal game requiring multiple add/deuce exchanges before a player prevailed. The significance of this critical period in each set shouldn't be under estimated. In each... a "BY" victory would level the set, but failure to do so would give SV a 4-2 advantage. In each set... "BY" wasn't able to capitalize on this mid-set opportunity. SV took advantage, then went on to win 6-3,6-3.
