WITH THE shots of a rampant Chris Gayle and the punches of a savage Mike Tyson, young Darius “Baraccus” Gaskin eliminated Dario Hinds to storm into the semi-finals of the Barbados Public Workers Credit Union Limited Monarchs of the road tennis Courts on Tuesday night at the Flow Sports Club, Wildey.

The No.5-ranked Hinds had created tremors when he punched out the dangerous Andy “Black Dog” Richards in their preliminary match-up.

However, with the threat of rain lingering, Gaskin brought the thunder and lightning to dismiss Hinds and avenge his Belfield clubmate Richards, 21-17, 21-12.

After the normally confident Hinds tried to rally from 15-20 in the first game, his camp expected some fightback in the second game.
