Baker had multiple big-time plays in a 4-2 victory that eliminated Milltown in the District 3 Tournament.

Wrobel goes undefeated in only his 3rd event to claim his first title on Garden State Pool Tour
There were a number of factors that worked to his advantage, but 22-year-old Matt Wrobel still had to do the work. He came into this past weekend’s (July 14) stop on the Garden State Pool Tour with only two sessions of APA pool league experience and only two previous cash-paying tournaments on his resume (he’d not cashed in either of them). Wrobel competed against four opponents (one of them twice), racing to 4 against three of them with Fargo Rates higher than his by 40, 121 and in his two final matches (hot seat and final), defeated an opponent, Levie Lampaan, whose Fargo Rate was 181 points higher. He played one straight-up race to 5 against an opponent whose Fargo Rate was just 8 points higher. Fargo Rate calculations that provide odds on a given Fargo Rate’s chances against another rate, indicate that were Wrobel to play 100 matches against Lampaan, he’d be expected to win just percentage points higher than 16 of them. He took care of two of them in a single weekend.
