The fourteenth week of Spring 2003 saw two teams climb in the standings, while two teams slipped. Three bowlers set a new personal best series, and one rolled new personal high game. Freda Schroeder picked up this week's high game (199) and series (531) for the women, while Carl Goetz earned this week's high game (260) and series (706) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 17 & 18: Canned Crabs kept stealing sips of beer from D-Day. Although topped by Eric Lynch with his (either injured, sick, or sandbagging) 393 series, the Crabs got swept by D-Day.

Canned Crabs plummet 2 spots in the standings to 8th place, while D-Day remains in 2nd.

Conversely, trifecta-winner (#1 Head-to-Head, #1 Power-Ranked, and Most Valuable Bowler) Carl Goetz reigned supreme in the Hulk with his marvelous 706 as his team took the series with 3 wins. The Good Sons remains in 5th place, while the Hulk jumps 2 spots to 6th.

- Moving to lanes 19&20, 4th-place When Push Comes To Shove will throw some gutter balls with 7th-place Spanked (hcp 12). The Shovers might maintain their current strength as they and split the series with Spanked; while Spanked ought to hold steady as they keep the series tied.
