Freda Schroeder picked up this week's high game (165) and series (443) for the women, while Pat Searcy earned this week's high game (214) and series (542) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 17 & 18: Bowlers of Mass Destruction took turns kicking the ball return with D-Day. In spite of the prowess of Justin Strelow with his above-average 495 series, Mass Destruction managed only 1.5 wins against D-Day. While that was going down, Demond Robinson dominated D-Day with his above-average 515 as his team took the series with 2.5 wins. Bowlers of Mass Destruction drops 1 spot in the standings to end in 2nd place, while D-Day moves 1 spot to come out in 1st.
On lanes 19 & 20: Top Guns deliberately ate cheese sticks in front of When Push Comes To Shove. Although blessed by Pat Searcy with his 542 series, Top Guns accomplished only 1 win against the Shovers. On the flipside, David Codding showed off in the Shovers with his 539 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Top Guns drop 1 spot in the standings to close out in 4th place, while the Shovers move 1 spot to wind up in 3rd.
On lanes 21 & 22: Canned Crabs accepted a challenge by The Good Sons. Although topped by Eric Lynch with his below-average 441 series, the Crabs accomplished only 1 win against the Sons.

Canned Crabs plummet 2 spots in the standings to complete in 7th place, while the Sons move 1 spot to cross the finish line in 5th.
Finally, down on lanes 23 & 24: Hulk Smash! chucked gutter balls with Spanked. In spite of top-billing by Carl Goetz with his below-average 509 series, the Hulk got swept by Spanked. On the other side, trifecta-winner (#1 Head-to-Head, #1 Power-Ranked, and Most Valuable Bowler) Bill Krejci laid down the law in Spanked with his above-average 541 as they swept the competition. Hulk Smash! drops 1 spot in the standings to end the season in 8th place, while Spanked jumps 2 spots to go home with 6th.
