Fallop Ian clinched the the championship tonight, back-to-back championships for each member of the team! (Technically John Boren was not on the previous winning team, but his team took 1st the last time he bowled.) This is the 11th championship for Carl Goetz, the 8th for Seth Gunderson, the 6th for John Boren, and the 3rd for Jonathan Vigliaturo. Congratulations, guys! But maybe give someone else a chance? 
First up, on lanes 41 & 42: Despite another successful tailgating episode, Split Sisters could not quite find the magic they experienced last week. Led by Michelle Shoemaker and her 366 series, Split Sisters got swept by Bowies In Space. Meanwhile, Michael Mead won all of our weekly accolades with his 696 series, leading Bowies to a clean sweep. Split Sisters remains in 8th place, where they will finish the season, while Bowies In Space moves up 1 spot to 2nd.
On lanes 43 & 44: Bowlgasmic continued to come in spurts, managing only one win against Split It & Hit It. Kody Karnes, with a 528 series, topped Bowlgasmic while Dennis Blake splatted his way to 3 wins for Split It with a 544 series, Split It & Hit It secured 3 wins. Bowlgasmic remains in 6th place, while Split It & Hit It remains in 7th.
Had Zach not screwed around on the first ball of every frame of Game 2, it might have not been such a nailbiter decided by one pin!
On lanes 45 & 46: Glory Bowl took turns kicking the ball return with 404: Team Name Not Found. Led by Matt O'Dell and his 533 series, Glory Bowl narrowly got swept by 404: Team Name Not Found. Meanwhile, led by Sean Simmons and his 601 series (a new personal best, including a new personal best game of 230), 404: Team Name Not Found secured a clean sweep. Glory Bowl remains in 5th place, while 404: Team Name Not Found remains in 4th.
Finally, down on lanes 47 & 48: Fallop Ian clinched the championship with a clean sweep against Holy Sandbaggers, Batman!. Aubrey Moren topped the Sandbaggers with a 606 series, while Carl Goetz crowned Fallop Ian with a 612 series.
