One tiebreak down

Mercer Street Residence- In what some termed the "calm before the storm," Eric "Pollex" Rasmussen defeated Eric "Eric Rasmussen" Berry in a lowly-contested tiebreak match to determine the third and fourth seeds for the upcoming Mercer Street Ping Pong Invitational Classic. Mr. Berry came out to an early 8-4 lead but Mr. Rasmussen took charge, going up 18-12 before finishing out the match, 21-15.

There's one more tiebreak to go, and voices around Mercer Street are whispering that it may well be a preview of the championship to come. Mike "The Good Dr. Mayonnaise" Maya and Dan "Eric" Sirkin will play Monday to determine the top seed.
