As for the men, Steve Robinson snagged this week's high game with a 228, and high series was earned by Pat Searcy with a 577. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 17 & 18: Top Guns shared a few beers with When Push Comes To Shove.

On lanes 21 & 22: Canned Crabs couldn't stop inappropriately groping D-Day. Even though highlighted by the skills of Eric Lynch with his 488 series, the Crabs got swept by D-Day. On the other side, Ken M. Wilson called the shots for D-Day with his above-average 547 as they swept the competition. Canned Crabs drop 1 spot in the standings to 7th place, while D-Day moves 1 spot to 2nd.
Finally, down on lanes 23 & 24: The Good Sons alternated splits with Hulk Smash!. Demonstrating the prowess of Steve Robinson with his powerful 499 series, and supported tremendously by real star — trifecta-winner #1 Power-Ranked, #1 Head-to-Head, and Most Valuable Bowler Michelle Tollefson, the Sons celebrated a clean sweep over the Hulk. Meanwhile, Carl Goetz ruled the Hulk with his 519 despite his team getting swept. The Good Sons remains in 4th place, while the Hulk sinks 1 spot to 6th.
