First up, on lanes 25 & 26: No Pinheads accepted a challenge by The Prak Attack. Highlighting the skills of Aubrey Moren with his 524 series, the Pinheads split the series with the Attack.

No Pinheads drop 1 spot in the standings to 7th place, while the Attack remains in 5th.

On the other side, Adam Messner guided 3 Pin Moon with his 478 despite his team notching only a single win. Bowlumpkin leaps 1 spot in the standings to 6th place, while 3 Pin Moon remains in 3rd.
On lanes 29 & 30: Scoot Gave Us The Schlitz traded lane malfunctions with Little Lebowski Urban Achievers. Regardless of the star power of Angela Bradford with her above-average 563 series, the Schlitz accomplished only 1 win against the Urban Achievers. On the adjacent lane, Sarah Sauer mastered the Urban Achievers with her above-average 432 as her team took the series with 3 wins. Scoot Gave Us The Schlitz remains in 2nd place, while the Urban Achievers remain in 8th.
Finally, down on lanes 31 & 32: Lil' Devils shared a platter of cheese sticks with Empire Strikes Back. Though reinforced by #1 Head-to-Head Janelle (Laube) Lamar and her above-average 463 series, Lil' Devils accomplished only 1 win against the Empire. In the meantime, #1 Power-Ranked Ken M. Wilson ruled the Empire with his above-average 615 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Lil' Devils remains in 4th place, while the Empire remains in 1st.
