In the midst of this, #1 Power Ranked and #1 Head-to-Head Rich DeYoung showed off in the Belt with his stupendous 629 as they swept the competition. Tatonka remains in 8th place, while the Belt remains in 1st.
On lanes 25 & 26: Guttersluts took turns kicking the ball return with Bowl Movement.

Finally, down on lanes 27 & 28: Split Happens couldn't stop undressing with their eyes the members of Sweeter Than Yoohoo. Though reinforced by James Long with his 547 series, Split Happens accomplished only 1 win against Yoohoo. On the adjacent lane, Tim Segraves drew the spotlight in Yoohoo with his 534 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Split Happens remains in 5th place, while Yoohoo remains in 4th.

NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 21&22, 1st-place I'm Gonna Belt Ya, Sucka! (hcp 740) will meet with 2nd-place Bowl Movement. The Belt is expected to drop their averages like a brick as they get swept; while Bowl Movement is forecast to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Moving to lanes 23&24, 3rd-place Bora Bora will compete against 4th-place Sweeter Than Yoohoo. Bora Bora might have their averages plummet, but split the series with Yoohoo; while Yoohoo ought to see their team average take a dive while they keep the series tied.
- Then, over on lanes 25&26, 5th-place Split Happens (hcp 447) will roll against 6th-place Guttersluts. Split Happens will likely see their averages fall off a cliff as they get swept; while Guttersluts will probably hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Finally, on lanes 27&28, 7th-place Yo Mama will chuck some balls with 8th-place Tatonka. Yo Mama is predicted to watch their averages take a plunge, but split the series with Tatonka; while Tatonka is anticipated to see their team average take a dive while they keep the series tied.
