The tweltfh week of Spring 2010 saw two teams climb in the standings, while two teams slipped. One bowler set a new personal best series, and one rolled new personal high game. Angela Bradford picked up this week's high game (201) and series (582) for the women, while Carl Goetz earned this week's high game (251) and series (708) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 25 & 26: Empire Strikes Back had some one-on-one time with Bowlumpkin. Led by #1 Power Ranked and #1 Head-to-Head Carl Goetz and his awe-inspiring 708 series, the Empire collected 3 wins against Bowlumpkin. Across the ball return, AJ Taylor ruled Bowlumpkin with his above-average 447 despite his team notching only a single win. Empire Strikes Back leaps 1 spot in the standings to 1st place, while Bowlumpkin plunges 2 spots to 7th.
On lanes 27 & 28: The Prak Attack tussled with Scoot Gave Us The Schlitz. Topped by Shane Pfaffly with his thrilling 491 series, the Attack celebrated a clean sweep over the Schlitz. On the other half of the score sheet, Angela Bradford laid down the law in the Schlitz with her staggering 582 despite her team getting swept. The Prak Attack leaps 2 spots in the standings to 5th place, while the Schlitz sinks 1 spot to 2nd.
On lanes 29 & 30: Lil' Devils shared a few beers with 3 Pin Moon. Regardless of the star power of Andrea Caudillo with her above-average 460 series, Lil' Devils accomplished only 1 win against 3 Pin Moon. In the midst of this, Ryan Doll called the shots for 3 Pin Moon with his 568 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Lil' Devils remains in 4th place, while 3 Pin Moon remains in 3rd.
Finally, down on lanes 31 & 32: No Pinheads shared a platter of cheese sticks with Little Lebowski Urban Achievers. Demonstrating the prowess of Aubrey Moren with his remarkable 594 series, the Pinheads split the series with the Urban Achievers. Concurrently, Mitch Kempker dominated the Urban Achievers with his 562 (with kudos to Most Valuable Bowler Greg Shelton) as they matched their opponent in wins. No Pinheads remains in 6th place, while the Urban Achievers remain in 8th.
