The fourth week of Fall 2002 saw two teams climb in the standings, while two teams slipped. Two bowlers set a new personal best series, and one rolled new personal high game. Freda Schroeder picked up this week's high game (151) and series (379) for the women, while Pat Searcy earned this week's high game (204) and series (578) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!

GRRR drops 1 spot in the standings to 6th place, while Top Guns remain in 1st.

Finally, down on lanes 21 & 22: Pop Gunns spent some quality time with Team 5. Even though highlighted by the skills of Ken M. Wilson with his 487 series, Pop Gunns got swept by Team 5. In the midst of this, #1 Power-Ranked and Most Valuable Bowler David Codding guided Team 5 with his marvelous 514 as they swept the competition. Pop Gunns drop 1 spot in the standings to 3rd place, while Team 5 moves 1 spot to 2nd.
