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 spent a romantic evening with 4 Play. Although topped by Seth Gunderson with his 451 series, the Belt accomplished only 1 win against 4 Play. On the adjacent lane, Pat Searcy mastered 4 Play with his 536 as his team took the series with 3 wins. All Belt, No Buckle end in 1st place, while 4 Play come out in 2nd.
On lanes 21 & 22: Sub Parre waged a heated competition against Nellielocks and the 3 Spares. Highlighting the skills of Ken M. Wilson with his 572 series, Sub Parre collected 3 wins against Nellielocks. In the meantime, Rich DeYoung showed off in Nellielocks with his 520 despite his team notching only a single win. Sub Parre close out in 3rd place, while Nellielocks go home with 4th.
On lanes 23 & 24: Handicrappers alternated splits with The Incredibowls. Regardless of the star power of Paul Linder with his above-average 438 series, Handicrappers got swept by The Incredibowls. Meanwhile, Carl Goetz took the lead in 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 end the season in 6th place, while The Incredibowls move 1 spot to wind up in 5th.
Finally, down on lanes 25 & 26: Bowlingstar Galactica accepted a challenge by Big Pin Pin. Featuring 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 cross the finish line in 8th.
