The sixth week of Spring 2005 saw three teams climb in the standings, while two teams slipped. One bowler roll a new personal best game. Angela Bradford picked up this week's high game (196) and series (488) for the women. As for the men, Dennis Laube snagged this week's high game with a 201, and high series was earned by Carl Goetz and Corey Weinfurt, who tied with a 533. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 19 & 20: Nellielocks and the 3 Spares shared a platter of cheese sticks with 4 Play. Headlined by Dennis Laube with his 521 series, Nellielocks split the series with 4 Play. On the adjacent lane, Bob Brunker shined in 4 Play with his 522 (with kudos to Most Valuable Bowler Angela Bradford) as they matched their opponent in wins. Nellielocks and the 3 Spares plummet 2 spots in the standings to 5th place, while 4 Play remains in 1st.
On lanes 21 & 22: Big Pin Pin hung out with Handicrappers. Though featuring Mitch Wheeler with his 475 series, Pin Pin got swept by Handicrappers. Across the ball return, Ashley Razak laid down the law in Handicrappers with her wondrous 395 as they swept the competition. Big Pin Pin drops 1 spot in the standings to 7th place, while Handicrappers move 1 spot to 3rd.
On lanes 23 & 24: Bowlingstar Galactica traded lane malfunctions with All Belt, No Buckle. Notwithstanding the leadership of #1 Power-Ranked Corey Weinfurt and his above-average 533 series, the Galactica managed only 1.5 wins against the Belt. On the flipside, #1 Head-to-Head Seth Gunderson oversaw the Belt with his above-average 512 as his team took the series with 2.5 wins. Bowlingstar Galactica leaps 1 spot in the standings to 6th place, while the Belt remains in 2nd.
Finally, down on lanes 25 & 26: The Incredibowls had some one-on-one time with Sub Parre. Even though highlighted by the skills of Carl Goetz with his 533 series, The Incredibowls accomplished only 1 win against Sub Parre. Meanwhile, Andy Metzler dominated Sub Parre with his above-average 455 as his team took the series with 3 wins. The Incredibowls remains in 8th place, while Sub Parre moves 1 spot to 4th.

NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 19&20, 6th-place Bowlingstar Galactica will test their mettle against 4th-place Sub Parre (hcp 95). The Galactica is expected to maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Sub Parre is forecast to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
- Moving to lanes 21&22, 8th-place The Incredibowls (hcp 34) will roll against 2nd-place All Belt, No Buckle. The Incredibowls might perform well, but split the series with the Belt; while the Belt ought to raise their average while they keep the series tied.
- Then, over on lanes 23&24, 7th-place Big Pin Pin (hcp 60) will compete against 5th-place Nellielocks and the 3 Spares. Pin Pin will likely maintain their current strength as they get swept; while Nellielocks will probably raise their average while they rack up a sweep.
- Finally, on lanes 25&26, 1st-place 4 Play will socialize with 3rd-place Handicrappers (hcp 130). 4 Play is predicted to roll a little low, yet still manage to win the series; while Handicrappers are anticipated to raise their average even as they avoid getting swept.
