The league now has Week #5 in the history books and with it came some serious output from the first place team. While three teams swapped places in the league standings, only two teams remain standing with winning records – which has to be a first in our league's history. In the first showdown between the league's top two scoring teams, 921+ looked to bounce back after a piss poor performance last week. Unfortunately they could not derail My Three Sons' star performer this week – and #1 Power Ranked bowler – Ian Goetz. Hoisting his very first 700+ series (he shot a 707 to tie for the 15th highest series in league history), Ian and crew easily laid waste to the underperforming 921+ crew. Ken M. Wilson put up the highest series for his team, a 598, in the losing effort. My Three Songs remains in 1st place by three games while 921+ remains in 3rd.In the off season, the core of Pin and Tonics looked to improve its roster and brought in former sub Aaron Barber. This Tuesday night, it paid off. With the gang fully in attendance, they nearly completed a sweep against opponents More Beer, Chelsea but ended up going 3-1 behind Barber's team-leading 579 series. Hall of Famers and league hump-recipient Scott Murdock led the Chelseas with a 499 series and kept his team from getting blanked with a Game #3 victory. Neither More Beer, Chelsea nor Pin and Tonics moved in the standings, remaining in 4th and 6th place respectively.After last week's disappointing fall into last place, Dixie Stampede decided to buck like an angry bull against opponents Ballz Out. Led by Ryan Doll's best output of the season thus far – a 618 series – coupled with this week's Most Valuable Bowler performance from Rob Kaszuba, the under-manned Stampede roared back with a clean sweep of their competition and climbed three spots up into 5th. The Ballz, led this week by Cliff Barendsen's 496 series, simply couldn't find any answers for Dixie and fall two spots into 7th place.On the final pair of lanes, The Finger Holes continue their chase to the top of the standings by defeating Split It & Hit It 3-1. With Aubrey Moren showing signs of life with a 556 series to lead The F-Holes, the gang looked close to wrapping it all up until Game #3. Todd Way put up the team's highest series at 421 but, overall, the entire team contributed with above-average scores pretty much the entire night to secure their lone victory. The Finger Holes remain in 2nd while Split It slips down one spot into 8th place.The Tournament of Champions now looks like this:Division 1 = Ryan Doll (9), Ian Goetz (6)Division 2 = Phil Schroeder (6), Jonathan Vigliaturo (6)Division 3 = Rob Kaszuba (6), Eric Lynch (6)Division 4 = Michael Smith (7), Mark DeVoe/Dan Imperial (6)Bowlers taking turns making fun of Ian's headband in The 200 Club this week include: Aaron Barber (221), Brian Coe (209), Carl Goetz (205), Ian Goetz (238, 244, 225), John Boren (200), Jonathan Vigliaturo (215), Ken M. Wilson (222), Rob Kaszuba (213), Ryan Doll (231, 206), Scott Murdock (203), and Seth Gunderson (209, 200).See you next Tuesday!
