Getting half the league to swap places in the league standings every Tuesday night seems to quickly be on its way to becoming the norm. Week #4 brought a group of familiar faces back atop the league after a powerful performance from a man figuring out a new ball. While the overall league average is off this season (we're willing to blame it on the lack of beer being consumed due to cost increase – although sources inform us that the prices will be coming down next week across the board!), people continue to put up games well over their averages on their drive to add more notches in the win column. Here's how the matchups across the league went down...In the first matchup of the night, Ballz Out hoped to be batting .500 after tonight with their win-loss record but missed it by a single game as they faced opponents Even Brunker Than Defore. With Games #1 and #2 handily won by the Ballz, Even Brunker dug in their heels and mounted a comeback victory in Game #3 but couldn't overcome the total pins deficit. Ballz Out, led by anchor Cliff Barendsen and his 517 series, add their 3-1 matchup victory to their tally but remain in 6th place. Even Brunker Than Defore got the most firepower from their anchor Eric Lynch, who ended his night with a 448 series, and remain in 8th place. Last week, Bryan Mohr was the league's #1 Power Ranked bowler. This week, he did it all over again...but added Most Valuable Bowler honors to his accolades as well. With Mohr's stellar performance – accompanied by Bowltron's leading scorer John Boren and his 581 series – the guys proved that they are in it to win it. Thumping opponents Split It and Hit It in their 4-0 reclaiming of the top spot in the standings, Bowltron looks like the team to beat this season as their firepower is coming from all sides ('cept the anchors). Dennis Blake had the top series for Split It, ending his night with a 491, but just couldn't get the pins to go his way in the 10th frame showdown that could have netted them a Game #3 victory. Bowltron improves to the league's best record of 13-3 while Split It and Hit It remains in 4th place at 8-8.After last week's all-around stellar team performance by Bewbie Dance, the Gutterfingers figured that it was only fitting that they received a taste of their own medicine. In the biggest upset of the evening, Anita Osthoff and her 521 series led the Gutterfingers to a clean sweep of their opponents in games that were never really close. Osthoff, whose average continues to climb, is on pace to take over the top spot as the best female bowler in league history. Bewbie Dance, led by anchor Carl Goetz and his 526 series, hold steady in 3rd place. An interesting side note, Bewbie Dance has either swept or been swept every week this season so far. The Gutterfingers take their four wins and hop up two spots into 5th place.With the gang all together for the first time since the first week, Breaking Bad looked to finally get on track this season. Opponents Will Strike if Provoked had other plans. After ending their 7-game losing streak with an impressive Game #1 victory, led by anchor Ken M. Wilson's 648 series, it was all Will Strike after that. Behind leadoff bowler Phil Schroeder's 505 series, the reigning champions reversed their own course to take Game #2. Despite a desperate rally in Game #3 from Breaking Bad, Will Strike ignored it to easily take the final game in the contest, ending the night with a 3-1 matchup victory. Despite winning the majority of their games, Will Strike if Provoked slips one spot down into 2nd place. Breaking Bad, with their 6-10 record, plummet two spots down into 7th place. The initial night of competition within the Tournament of Champions got underway Tuesday. Starting off with the lead in Division 1 is Ken M. Wilson (6) with Ryan Doll (3) debuting in second. Anita Osthoff (6) powered her way to become the Division 2 leader with Cliff Barendsen (3) right behind her. Bryan Mohr (6) came out firing to lead Division 3 while Phil Schroeder (3) follows closely behind. Division 4 found Michael Smith (6) coming out on top with rookie Steven Kohlmeyer (3) starting his first ToC off in second. The handful of bowlers making it past security in The 200 Club this week include: Bill Krejci (254, 200), Cliff Barendsen (202), Ken M. Wilson (222, 225, 201), and Rob Kaszuba (208).Nominations for this season's Hall of Fame ballot are now open. Feel free to nominate as many of the 59 people eligible for induction as you'd like. The nominations form will remain open until the end of the position round (Week #8). Ken would especially appreciate it if you'd consider nominating Pat Searcy, who he feels should get your vote this season if he makes it onto the ballot.See you next Tuesday!
