Dave Bollman, a 52-year-old house professional from Norfolk, shot his way through a field that included some of billiards' biggest names to score his biggest one-pocket victory Sunday night at Guys & Dolls Billiards on Williamson Road.
In a marathon 31/2-hour final, Bollman edged Billy Incardona of Chicago 5-4 to pick up the $2,800 prize.
``I'm very surprised to win this thing,'' said Bollman, who advanced to the final out of the winner's bracket, never losing a match.
``I was ranked No.3 in the country in 9-ball in 1989, but one-pocket is an entirely different story,'' he said.
Bollman, who stunned heavily favored Grady Mathews in the semifinals, was down 4-3 in the race to five games in the final before rallying against Incardona.
Incardona earned $1,800 for second place.
Mathews finished third, Howard Bickery of Columbus, Ohio, was fourth, Billy Stephens of Richmond was fifth and Tennessean Wade Crane took sixth.

University of Virginia women's lacrosse players Cherie Greer and Kelly Daddona headed a list of five Cavaliers named to the Brine Division I All-America team.

Washington and Lee women's tennis player Marilyn Baker was named winner of the Tennis Magazine/Intercollegiate Tennis Coaches Association Arthur Ashe Sportsmanship Award for the 1993-94 season.
Baker, a junior from Baldwin, N.Y., led the Generals to their best season ever and earned All-America honors for the second straight year. She has won 20 or more singles matches in each of her first three seasons and set a Washington and Lee record with 28 wins this season.

Terry Jones hit a layup with eight seconds remaining to give the Roanoke Northwest Stars 14-and-under boys' basketball team a 68-67 win over Tony Squires Big Dogs of Richmond in the championship game of the Warrenton Spring-Fling Tournament on Sunday.
