With the baseball season finally over, 31 of the 32 bowlers competing in the Fall 2014 season showed up to do battle in Week #11 of GutterAlley action. With six teams changing spots in the league standings, it turns out that only three games separate the top four teams in the league and total pins are coming into play to slot the competitors. Several bowlers shot their personal bests as league continues to march onward towards the Finals a mere five weeks away.In the first matchup of the night, 921+ did what they have been aiming to do since relinquishing control of first place several months back – they've returned to the top of the roost. Behind rookie Brian Coe's 756 series (the 4th highest series in league history), the high rollers took all four games against opponents Ballz Out. While Chadwick Andrews put up the highest series for the Ballz with his 480 series, the breakout performance of the team goes to Bryan Bay who shot both his personal best game (a 188) as part of his personal best series (a 457). The men of 921+ improve to 29-15 to reclaim 1st due to total pins while Ballz Out remains in in 8th place with a record of 10-34.All season long, The Finger Holes has wondered where their star bowler has been. Well, Aubrey Moren certainly showed up Tuesday night with his all time personal best game and series by shooting a 264 game and a 692 series en route to a 3-1 trouncing of More Beer, Chelsea. Needless to say, Moren was this week's #1 Power Ranked bowler. Chelsea's anchor Eric Lynch put up the most fire power for his team with his 524 series but only managed to secure a lone win in Game #2 to break up Moren's high output. With their three wins, The F-Holes improve to 26-18 and move up one spot into 3rd place. Chelsea, also with a record now of 26-18, slips into 4th place due to total pins.Having been atop the league standings for several months now, My Three Sons knuckled down to try to remain ahead of the pack but ended up battling themselves to a standstill against the reawakened Dixie Stampede. With Carl Goetz and his 607 series securing Games #1 and #2 for the Sons, Ryan Doll countered with a 606 to stampede back with his team to not only win Game #3 but also take total pins by 21 pins to end the night at two games apiece. My Three Sons slips into 2nd place due to total pins while Dixie Stampede remains one of only two team that did not move at all, sitting in 5th place.In the last matchup of the night, Split It & Hit It had high hopes of making a charge in the second half of the season and adding some wins to their record. Fortunately for them they had this week's Most Valuable Bowler on their team by the name of Dennis Blake. Hoisting a team leading 550 series, Blake paved the way for the first sweep the team has seen all year. Opponents Pin and Tonics took it on the chin despite a 458 series from anchor Aaron Barber. Interesting sidenote -- since Week #6, Split It has either swept or been swept every week. With their wins, Split It & Hit It moves up one spot into 6th place while the Pin and Tonics fall one spot into 7th place.The Tournament of Champions currently looks like this:Division 1 = Ryan Doll (17), Brian Coe/Ken M. Wilson (12)Division 2 = Aubrey Moren (18), Jonathan Vigliaturo (16)Division 3 = Rob Kaszuba (20), Eric Lynch (16)Division 4 = Michael Smith (15), Jake Parrott (15)Bowlers avoiding the falling leaves outside inside The 200 Club this week include: Aubrey Moren (264, 215, 213), Brian Coe (210, 268, 278), Carl Goetz (240), Dennis Blake (208, 201), Ian Goetz (206), Jason Carpio (221), Ken M. Wilson (232, 211), Kody Karnes (235, 213), Ryan Doll (228), and Seth Gunderson (201).See you next Tuesday!
