The Finals were between Ruby Hill/Club Sport (John Madden's team) and McCarthy Ranch (wearing the kilts as they have every year).
It was a match to 12 points with no time limit. 
It turned out to be the biggest comeback in Bocce History.
Or at least the history of the Madden-Mariucci Battle of the Bay Bocce Tournament.
McCarthy Ranch got off to a strong start, at 5-0 after three frames, and later held leads of 9-1 and 11-6.
From the 11-6 deficit, Ruby Hill/Club Sport scored one point on each of the next 4 frames to go to an 11-10 deficit.
They then scored 2 in the final frame to win 12-11.
The score by frame to the right is based on my photos and my best recollection.  I have photos of the scoreboard following all odd numbered frames, and photos of the ball positions in many cases.
