The Spring 2005 season draws to a close, with All Belt, No Buckle officially earning this season's championship title! The final week saw one team climb in the standings, while one team slipped. Freda Schroeder picked up this week's high game (201) and series (530) for the women, while Carl Goetz earned this week's high game (225) and series (594) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 19 & 20: All Belt, No Buckle had some one-on-one time with 4 Play. While headlined by Seth Gunderson with his 451 series, the Belt accomplished only 1 win against 4 Play. Meanwhile, Pat Searcy shined in 4 Play with his 536 as his team took the series with 3 wins. All Belt, No Buckle finish in 1st place, while 4 Play wind up in 2nd.
On lanes 21 & 22: Sub Parre faced off against Nellielocks and the 3 Spares. Demonstrating the prowess of Ken M. Wilson with his 572 series, Sub Parre collected 3 wins against Nellielocks. While that was going down, Rich DeYoung showed off in Nellielocks with his 520 despite his team notching only a single win. Sub Parre end in 3rd place, while Nellielocks end up with 4th.
On lanes 23 & 24: Handicrappers accepted a challenge by The Incredibowls. Regardless of the star power of Paul Linder with his above-average 438 series, Handicrappers got swept by The Incredibowls. On the other side, Carl Goetz laid down the law in The Incredibowls with his above-average 594 (benefitted greatly by real star — trifecta-winner #1 Power-Ranked, #1 Head-to-Head, and Most Valuable Bowler Freda Schroeder) as they swept the competition. Handicrappers drop 1 spot in the standings to close out in 6th place, while The Incredibowls move 1 spot to come out in 5th.
Finally, down on lanes 25 & 26: Bowlingstar Galactica shared a platter of cheese sticks with Big Pin Pin. With top billing by Eric Lynch with his below-average 464 series, the Galactica collected 3 wins against Pin Pin. . With Pin Pin forfeiting, all the Galactica needed to do was roll within 40 pins of their combined team average each game. However, that would not be the case. Bowlingstar Galactica end the season in 7th place, while Pin Pin go home with 8th.
