Week #13 is in the books and just about everything stayed the same with the standings still remaining super tight. A mere six games separate the top half of the league with two weeks of "regular season" bowling remaining before the Finals. With a few key matchups left to go before the big showdown, it's still mathematically any of these four teams season to win. In the first (and last) matchup of the night, Ballz Out battled opponents Will Strike if Provoked to a tie in Game #1 and then took Game #2 behind this week's #1 Power Ranked bowler performance out of the Ballz' Cliff Barendsen and his 578 series. The momentum stopped there, however, as Will Strike's Dennis "Pops" Laube turned the tide with his team-leading 532 series that secured Game #3 as well as the total pins victory to take a 2.5-1.5 win. Will Strike ended the night as the only team to move up at all in the league standings, improving to 3rd place. Ballz Out remains in 5th place.In the most watched matchup of the night, the two teams that have exploded in the second half of the season – Bewbie Dance and Split It and Hit It – collided head on Tuesday night...and it ended up almost entirely belonging to the Bewbs. With anchor Carl Goetz leading the way with his 616 series, the Bewbies came just one game shy of blanking Split It by winning the first two as well as total pins. Split It's anchor Dennis Blake kept his team alive with his 518 series but slipped one spot down into 4th place with the losses. Bewbie Dance remains in 2nd place, back one single game.All season long, Even Brunker Than Defore has been picked on by their opponents. Not this week. With anchor Eric Lynch putting up a Most Valuable Bowler performance with his 510 series against laughingstocks Breaking Bad, the team finally broke into double digits in the win column after splitting their series at 2-2. Bad's Kody Karnes led his team with a 616 series to keep them in 6th while Even Brunker remains in 8th.Down on lanes 47 & 48, Bowltron desperately tried to hold onto their perch atop the league standings and managed to do so against opponents Gutterfingers. With John Boren leading the entire league with his 632 series, Games #1 and #2 – as well as total pins – ended up going their way but it was Scott "Scooter J" Murdock's 498 series (mainly from his Game #3 score of 202) that secured the come-from-behind 3-pin victory in their final game. Both teams remain in their respective positions on the league standings, Bowltron in 1st and Gutterfingers in 7th place.The Tournament of Champions rolls on:Division 1 = Ryan Doll (23), Ken M. Wilson (19)Division 2 = Angela Bradford (26), Cliff Barendsen (16)Division 3 = Freda Schroeder (30), Bryan Mohr (15)Division 4 = Chadwick Andrews (22), Michael Smith (18)This week's rollers spied at The 200 Club include: Aubrey Moren (221), Bill Krejci (223, 215), Carl Goetz (213, 207), Cliff Barendsen (202), Dennis Blake (205), Dennis Laube (206), John Boren (226, 214), Ken M.
