As for the men, Pat Searcy earned this week's high game (223) and series (580).Meanwhile, Tournament of Champions is officially down to its final eight bowlers, who will face each other next week competing for two cash prizes! Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 19 & 20: Big Pin Pin took turns kicking the ball return with Nellielocks and the 3 Spares. With Pin Pin forfeiting, all Nellielocks needed to do was roll within 40 pins of their combined team average each game. However, that would not be the case. In their battle to get within at least 40 pins of average, Rich DeYoung dominated Nellielocks with his above-average 525 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Big Pin Pin remains in 8th place, while Nellielocks remain in 4th.
On lanes 21 & 22: 4 Play shared a few beers with Handicrappers. With the strength of Pat Searcy with his 580 series, 4 Play collected 3 wins against Handicrappers. In the midst of this, Kris Hiestand, Ashley Razak oversaw Handicrappers with their 390 despite their team notching only a single win. 4 Play remains in 2nd place, while Handicrappers remain in 5th.
On lanes 23 & 24: The Incredibowls faced off against All Belt, No Buckle. Although topped by Carl Goetz with his below-average 498 series, The Incredibowls got swept by the Belt. On the flipside, Seth Gunderson guided the Belt with his above-average 515 (benefitted greatly by real star — trifecta-winner #1 Power-Ranked, #1 Head-to-Head, and Most Valuable Bowler Scott Murdock) as they swept the competition. The Incredibowls remains in 6th place, while the Belt remains in 1st.
Finally, down on lanes 25 & 26: Bowlingstar Galactica tussled with Sub Parre. Highlighting the skills of Jason Carpio with his above-average 542 series, the Galactica split the series with Sub Parre. On the other side, Andy Metzler showed off in Sub Parre with his above-average 500 as they matched their opponent in wins. Bowlingstar Galactica remains in 7th place, while Sub Parre remains in 3rd.
