The Spring 2005 season draws to a close, with All Belt, No Buckle officially earning this season's championship title! The final week saw one team climb in the standings, while one team slipped. Freda Schroeder picked up this week's high game (201) and series (530) for the women, while Carl Goetz earned this week's high game (225) and series (594) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 19 & 20: All Belt, No Buckle had a rendezvous with 4 Play. Though featuring Seth Gunderson with his 451 series, the Belt accomplished only 1 win against 4 Play. Countering this, Pat Searcy shined in 4 Play with his 536 as his team took the series with 3 wins. All Belt, No Buckle end the season in 1st place, while 4 Play wind up in 2nd.
On lanes 21 & 22: Sub Parre entered a showdown to the death with Nellielocks and the 3 Spares. Highlighting the skills of Ken M. Wilson with his 572 series, Sub Parre collected 3 wins against Nellielocks. On the other half of the score sheet, Rich DeYoung drew the spotlight in Nellielocks with his 520 despite his team notching only a single win. Sub Parre end in 3rd place, while Nellielocks cros the finish line in 4th.
On lanes 23 & 24: Handicrappers took turns kicking the ball return with The Incredibowls. In spite of the prowess of Paul Linder with his above-average 438 series, Handicrappers got swept by The Incredibowls. On the adjacent lane, Carl Goetz ruled The Incredibowls with his above-average 594 (benefitted greatly by real star — trifecta-winner #1 Power-Ranked, #1 Head-to-Head, and Most Valuable Bowler Freda Schroeder) as they swept the competition. Handicrappers drop 1 spot in the standings to close out in 6th place, while The Incredibowls move 1 spot to end up with 5th.
Finally, down on lanes 25 & 26: Bowlingstar Galactica chucked gutter balls with Big Pin Pin. Starring Eric Lynch with his below-average 464 series, the Galactica collected 3 wins against Pin Pin. . With Pin Pin forfeiting, all the Galactica needed to do was roll within 40 pins of their combined team average each game. However, that would not be the case. Bowlingstar Galactica finish in 7th place, while Pin Pin go home with 8th.
