Steve and Andy are playing pool. After the break, Andy is solids which is numbers 1 through 7 (the number 8 ball is the last one to hit into a pocket). How many different combinations can he have for sinking his solids into the six pockets?

Steve ends up winning the game as he hit in all his striped pool balls (9 through 15) and the 8 ball. How many different combinations did he have in his victory?
