Hugo Patino wins the 2019 USBA 3-Cushion National Championship!

2019059Hugo250X250Hugo Patino is once again atop the USBA ranks with his fourth national title. In the event held at US Bida in Houston, Texas Hugo Patino performed like a champion, first by topping his flight to enter the 16-man single elimination final phase. Then his class really came out as he defeated 9-time US Champion Pedro Piedrabuena in a best game of 40-10 in 20 innings. And finally he capped the event with a brilliant opening performance against reigning 2018 champion Miguel Torres. After winning the lag, Hugo proceeded to wow the live audience and live stream viewers by running 18 from the break tying the USBA national championship record. With a huge lead Miguel had to fight hard just to stay in. Although he mounted a valiant come-back Miguel had to succumb in the end as Hugo closed the match 40-32 in 30 innings. Congratulations to the 2019 USBA 3-Cushion National Champion Hugo Patino.
