The host Springfield Lasers outscored the Newport Beach Breakers,

men’s and women’s singles, respectively.

Delgado and Ellis Ferreira then claimed a 5-3 men’s doubles

victory over Springfield’s Jalal Chafai and Andrew Kratzmann to give

Newport a 15-8 lead before Springfield (1-2) took control in the

women’s and mixed doubles matches.
