Matlock got 2 points right off the bat in the second match, but Lee was quick to tie.  A couple of key misses by Lee gave Matlock the hill, and she was o­nly able to get o­ne more point before Matlock got in a nice cross-side bank and won the second match 5-3 to tie up the sets at 1 each.

Now warmed up, Matlock closed the third set out in no time, scoring 1 and then another 2 points with Lee trailing at 2.  He reached the hill and then made a sweet cut long-rial bank that put the third match under his belt 5-2.

On the hill now, Matlock got 3 points in rapid succession, and after Lee's first inning at the table, which scored her a point, he sank a long bank to reach the hill.  After trading several innings, Matlock missed what looked to be a shoe-in as the audience groaned.  Lee got another point to bring the score to 4-2, but after she missed a shot and broke out the last three balls, Matlock found an easy out to win the game 5-2 and the match 3-1.
