Battle Tested, Brunker Approved

Posted by Ken January 27, 2015 Spring 2015, Week 2 View Score Sheets

The most volatile week of each season is always, without a doubt, Week #2. Averages set the in the debut week fluctuate wildly as bowlers either get hot or cool off and teams struggle to secure victories during this roller coaster ride. A total of six teams swapped places Tuesday night with the exception of the team on top and the team on bottom but we're pretty confident that this pattern will continue as the Spring 2015 season rolls on. Amazingly, six bowlers in the league currently carry averages above 200 – the most we've ever seen in league history. In the first matchup of the evening, The Pin is Mightier took a narrow Game #1 victory over opponents Squirtin' Tunas behind a team-leading 480 series out of anchor Scott "Scooter J" Murdock. Not to be outdone, the Tuna's Aaron Barber hoisted a 597 series to take a 1-pin win in Game #2 as well as an an 8-pin victory to secure Game #3 but eventually lost out in total pins by only seven to split the series 2-2. With the wins, Squirtin' Tunas slip one spot down into 3rd while The Pin is Mightier climbs one spot up into 6th place.Last season, the majority of Gimme Headpin set record after record en route to the Fall 2014 championship. This season, they are looking to do the same. Remaining undefeated, the guys nearly bested the all-time record for a team series against opponents Split It & Hit It with their combined 2,603 series. Led by anchor Ken M. Wilson and his 717 series – who was also this week's #1 Power Ranked bowler, Gimme continues to grab up the wins and now sits at a perfect 8-0 in 1st place. Split It, led by anchor Dennis Blake and his 495 series, continue to look for their first win of the season and remain in 8th place.On lanes 45-46, last week's most purposefully guttering team – Amazeballs – took on the 2nd most purposefully guttering team – 10 Pins 10 Balls. Despite adding another notch in their win column in Game #1, the Amazeballs took a backseat to the 10 Pins. With anchor Aubrey Moren leading the way with his 589 series along with this week's Most Valuable Bowler performance out of teammate Freda Schroeder, the unconfirmed 10 Balls stormed back to take the series 3-1. With the victories the members of 10 Pins 10 Balls move up one spot to 4th while the Amazeballs, led tonight by anchor Ryan Doll's 591 series, fall down two spots to a not-so-amazing 5th place.The final pair of lanes hosted the first matchup of the season between Sponsored by Rogue and Ballz Out, easily the two most fun teams to face. Unfortunately for Ballz Out, the outing was not so much fun as Rogue routed them 4-0 in a contest that saw none of the games settled by less than a 100+ pins. Leading the charge for Sponsored by Rogue was Carl Goetz and his demonic 666 series that propelled his team up to two spots into 2nd place. Ballz Out, still off to a better start than last season, was led by Cliff Barendsen's 505 series but falls one spot down into 7th place.The Tournament of Champions has crunched another week of numbers in preparation for kicking off at the start of Week #4. Your average at the end of Week #3 will officially place you within your division this season so get those scores up (or down, depending on where you hope to be seeded).
