Gerda Hofstatter faces the winner of the Lee/Laurance semifinal in the loser's bracket.

The story line is the same, just the tables and
the town change. Last month, Allison Fisher
awaited the winner of the match between Gerda
Hofstatter and Jeanette Lee to figure out her
opponent in the title match of the Connelly
Players Championship in Valley Forge, Pa. Fisher
eventually beat Hofstatter for the title. The same
scenario could unfold here in Boston.
As the Brunswick Cues Boston Classic, the third
stop on the WPBA Classic Tour, winds up, Fisher
once again has the pleasure of sitting through the
formalities of deciding the winner of the loser's
bracket, having beaten Gerda Hofstatter in the
winner's side final last night at 9pm. This
morning, as host room Boston Billiard Club
prepares for the lights of ESPN, Hofstatter will
face the winner of the Ewa Laurance/Jeanette Lee
loser's match semifinal, which begins at 1pm
EST.
Jeanette Lee looks to avenge her loss to Hofstatter by beating Ewa Laurance and Gerda to face Allison Fisher for the title.

If Lee wins, the top three players could repeat
last month's results. Other than Fisher,
Hofstatter has been one of the hottest players on
the Tour, yet has not been able to get over the
title hump yet in 1998.
The finals begin at 5pm EST. Look for a write-up
on the finals at around 8pm EST
