With averages leveling out after three weeks of bowling, things typically begin to settle down and we start to see which teams are hell bent on proving that they are in it to win it. Tuesday night's performances, however, contained a mishmash of scores – some way up, some way down – that once again shifted around the league standings...including an interesting tie at the top of the heap. If you haven't taken a moment to nominate someone for the Hall of Fame, please consider doing so. It'll only take you a couple of minutes and would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!One of the most anticipated matchups of the evening proved to be a clash of the titans with last season's 2nd best team Vier Reiter Der Apokalypse taking on newcomers Skirtz & Jerkz. While the Reiters charged head first into battle and took Game #1 behind anchor Ryan Doll's 509 series, it was the output of the Jerkz' Neil Reiger that reversed his team's fortunes to secure a 3-1 victory for the night. Reiger led his team with a 541 series and propelled his team two spots up into 4th while the Apokalypse slipped one spot directly behind their opponents into 5th place.In the battle for first place, the Gutterballs looked to extend their time at the top of the league standings by beating down reigning champs STFU Donny. Things did not work out for them at all. With Donny's anchor Ken M. WIlson rolling a 672 and narrowly missing being added to the newly released Top 25 Series of All Time with his series, the team reclaimed their #1 spot by a total pins tiebreaker. Wilson was also this week's #1 Power Ranked bowler. Despite the Gutterballs' Jason Carpio throwing a 527 – and moving up to 2nd place on the Top 25 Most Improved Bowlers of All Time – the team simply could not buy a win and tumbled two spots down into 3rd place. Seth Gunderson wants to personally and proudly tell John Vigliaturo to STFU, Johnny, for all the trash-talk throughout the day.Down on Lanes 23 and 24, the Das Sauer Popes and Mysterious Platypus Appendages teeter-tottered back and forth with their wins and ended the night with a 2-2 split. The Platypi struck first, taking Game #1 by a mere nine pins behind anchor Jake Parrott's 455 series. Game #2 was owned by the Popes, who were led by anchor Mike Berlin and his 490 series. Game #3 went to the Platypi but ended up losing total pins to the Popes by a spread of four pins. Talk about close! With two wins apiece, Das Sauer Popes moves one spot in the standings up into 6th while the Mysterious Platypus Appendages remain in 8th place.The final matchup of the evening proved that you don't have to be present to be the week's Most Valuable Bowler. Having pre-bowled earlier, No Pinheads' very own Freda Schroeder provided the necessary MVB oomph – along with Aubrey Moren's team-leading 597 series – to land her team a clean sweep of opponents Kitten Mittons. The Mittons, led by anchor Nick Allegri and his 445 series, tried their best but fell short each game and find themselves dropping two spots into 7th place. No Pinheads, on the other hand, leap up into 2nd place with a 9-3 series and only trail the top spot by total pins. Bowlers enjoying their last days of summer in The 200 Club this week include: Aubrey Moren (202, 216), Ian Goetz (204, 207), Jason Carpio (216), Ken M. Wilson (232, 231, 209) and Seth Gunderson (205).See you next Tuesday!
