Tonight saw yet another reshuffle of the top spots in the league as the power players continue to battle it out. It also saw all 8 teams present for the first time in a long while,... well, if one lone representative from a team of prebowlers counts as a team.Lanes 41&42 seemed to be bowling their way across multiple time zones as they slowly worked their way to a 3-1 victory of 10 Pins 10 Balls over Ballz Out. While Aubrey Moren led his team with a 593 series, perhaps the bigger story is Chadwick Andrews leading his team to nearly doubling their win record with his 516 series. Neither team moves in the standings this week.Lanes 43 & 44: Reeling from last week's sweeping defeat, the mostly-prebowling men of Gimme Headpin sought to fight their way back up the standings. And with a team-leading 686 series by Kody Karnes, it seemed destined to happen. But suddenly Michael Gordon of Squirtin' Tuna decided to roll his new personal best game (256) and new personal best series (605) to deal a crushing blow in game 3. This was enough to take total pins, so the series was split 2-2. Both teams remain in their same spots ion the standings.Lanes 45 & 46: The new league leaders, Sponsored By Rogue, mathematically should have held on to first place longer than they did. Carl Goetz's team leading 663 series only tells part of the story, all four members came out firing and put on strong performances. But sometimes Ryan Doll likes to mess things up for you by rolling his new personal best series (708, his second 700). And his Amazeballs teammates decided to get in on the action, too. With a 3-1 victory, Amazeballs climbs to #1 by the thinnest of margins, while Rogue tenuously drops to #2.Finally, on lanes 47 & 48: The matchup to settle the case of who is the best of the three losing teams. At the beginning it seemed like The Pin Is Mightier might claim the crown, especially with the entire team rolling strikes in multiple frames on lane 47. (That team NEVER rolls all strikes!) But despite Scott Murdock's team-leading 529 series, they just couldn't survive long once Dennis Blake remembered what he was there to be doing. Blake's 591 series led Split It & Hit It to a 3-1 victory. Neither team moves in the standings.The Tournament of Champions saw Ryan Doll take Division 1, he now trails Aaron Barber by 1 point. In Division 2 Bob Brunker failed to beat a blind to in the whole round, leaving Phil Schroeder and Birthday Boy Rab Kaszuba tied for first. Scott Murdock took this round in Division 3, but Freda Schroeder and Dennis Blake still lead in points. Finally, Jake Parrott took Division 4, furthering his hold on first place.Bowlers in The 200 Club this week include: Aubrey Moren (226, 204), Cliff Barendsen (201), Michael Gordon (202, 256), Aaron Barber (207), Bob Brunker (201), Kody Karnes (201, 255, 231), Brian Coe (226, 225, 201), Bryan Mohr (201), Angela Bradford (205), Ryan Doll (245, 214, 249), Jonathan Vigliaturo (233), Ian Goetz (214, 245), Seth Gunderson (202), Carl Goetz (200, 216, 247), and Dennis Blake (223). And now my fingers are cramped. Sheesh.See you next Tuesday!
