The fifth week of Spring 2003 saw three teams climb in the standings, while three teams slipped. Three bowlers set a new personal best series, and one rolled new personal high game. Janelle (Laube) Lamar landed this week's high game for the women with a 174, and women's high series was bagged by Freda Schroeder with a 471. As for the men, Pat Searcy snagged this week's high game with a 222, and high series was earned by Bob Brunker with a 616. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 17 & 18: Hulk Smash! kept grabbing the balls of D-Day. Regardless of the star power of Carl Goetz with his 538 series, the Hulk accomplished only 1 win against D-Day. Conversely, Ken M. Wilson dominated D-Day with his above-average 529 (with kudos to Most Valuable Bowler Nik Domann) as his team took the series with 3 wins. Hulk Smash! drops 1 spot in the standings to 5th place, while D-Day sinks 1 spot to 3rd.
On lanes 19 & 20: Canned Crabs had a rendezvous with The Good Sons. Despite being led by Eric Lynch with his (either injured, sick, or sandbagging) 442 series, the Crabs accomplished only 1 win against the Sons. In the midst of this, Steve Robinson laid down the law in the Sons with his 405 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Canned Crabs leap 1 spot in the standings to 6th place, while the Sons move 1 spot to 4th.
On lanes 21 & 22: When Push Comes To Shove spent a romantic evening with Bowlers of Mass Destruction. Although topped by David Codding with his 523 series, the Shovers got swept by Mass Destruction. Across the ball return, #1 Power-Ranked Corey Weinfurt guided Mass Destruction with his phenomenal 590 (along with props to #1 Power-Ranked and Most Valuable Bowler Nik Domann) as they swept the competition. When Push Comes To Shove drops 1 spot in the standings to 7th place, while Mass Destruction moves 1 spot to 2nd.
Finally, down on lanes 23 & 24: Spanked waged a heated competition against Top Guns. Notwithstanding the leadership of Bill Krejci with his above-average 522 series, Spanked got swept by Top Guns. In the meantime, Bob Brunker showed off in Top Guns with his wondrous 616 as they swept the competition. Spanked remains in 8th place, while Top Guns remain in 1st.
Bowlers slipping under the velvet rope in front of The 200 Club include: Bob Brunker (204,215), Corey Weinfurt (219,211), David Codding (204), Ken M. Wilson (212), and Pat Searcy (222)
A new personal high game was set tonight by Corey Weinfurt (219, previous best 201). In addition, new personal best series were rolled by Bob Brunker (616, previous best 596), Jason Carpio (538, previous best 501), and Corey Weinfurt (590, previous best 528). The 616 rolled by Bob Brunker is tied for the 3rd-best series in league history!
In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Bill Krejci crushed Division 1, while Nik Domann creamed Division 2. Jason Carpio claimed victory in Division 3, and nobody claimed victory in Division 4, and in fact we aren't even going to talk about Division 4 as it was a complete embarassment. In terms of overall points: Bob Brunker calls the shots for Division 1; Nik Domann and Eric Lynch govern Division 2 in a tie; Jason Carpio and Phil Schroeder are both in the driver's seat (on each other's laps?) in Division 3 in a tie; and Tracey Robertson runs the show in Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 17&18, 1st-place Top Guns will battle 7th-place When Push Comes To Shove (hcp 11). Top Guns are expected to maintain their current strength as they win the series; while the Shovers are forecast to drop their average a bit while they avoid getting swept.
- Moving to lanes 19&20, 2nd-place Bowlers of Mass Destruction (hcp 12) will compete against 8th-place Spanked. Mass Destruction might perform well and sweep the series; while Spanked ought to drop their average a bit while they endure a rough night.
- Then, over on lanes 21&22, 6th-place Canned Crabs (hcp 98) will share a couple of pitchers with 3rd-place D-Day. The Crabs will likely maintain their current strength as they get swept; while D-Day will probably hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Finally, on lanes 23&24, 4th-place The Good Sons (hcp 70) will chill with 5th-place Hulk Smash!. The Sons are predicted to perform well and win the series; while the Hulk is anticipated to drop their average a bit while they avoid getting swept.
