On the adjacent lane, Ken M. Wilson commanded the Old Rack with his 556 as they swept the competition. All Belts Are Off plummets 2 spots in the standings to 3rd place, while the Old Rack jumps 2 spots to 1st.
Finally, down on lanes 23 & 24: Frickin' Ten Pins celebrated their love of large, heavy balls with I Can't Believe It's Not Gutter.
