The eleventh week of Spring 2007 saw three teams climb in the standings, while four teams slipped. One bowler set a new personal best series, and two rolled new personal high games. Deena Slinkard picked up this week's high game (231) and series (472) for the women, while Pat Searcy earned this week's high game (235) and series (604) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 15 & 16: Those 4 Bowlers had a rendezvous with Doll's Balls. Though featuring Seth Gunderson with his below-average 476 series, 4 Bowlers accomplished only 1 win against Doll's Balls. On the adjacent lane, Ryan Doll mastered Doll's Balls with his 503 (along with kudos to #1 Power-Ranked and Most Valuable Bowler Chris Lewis, as well as #1 Head-to-Head ) as his team took the series with 3 wins. Those 4 Bowlers remains in 5th place, while Doll's Balls move 1 spot to 6th.
On lanes 17 & 18: Frickin' Ten Pin had a delightful time with King Pins. In spite of the prowess of Carl Goetz with his above-average 594 series, Ten Pin got swept by King Pins. Countering this, Duncan Ferber ruled King Pins with his 521 as they swept the competition. Frickin' Ten Pin drops 1 spot in the standings to 9th place, while King Pins jump 2 spots to 7th.
On lanes 19 & 20: T.B.D. tussled with Oily Balls. With T.B.D. forfeiting, all Oily Balls needed to do was roll within 40 pins of their combined team average each game. However, that would not be the case. In their battle to get within at least 40 pins of average, Pat Searcy took the lead in Oily Balls with his 604 as his team took the series with 3 wins. T.B.D. remains in 10th place, while Oily Balls jump 2 spots to 2nd.
On lanes 21 & 22: X9XX shared a few beers with Unstoppabowl. With the strength of Stefan Miller with his 515 series, X9XX split the series with Unstoppabowl. As for the opposition, Cory Chorpenning called the shots for Unstoppabowl with his 543 (with props to #1 Head-to-Head bowler ) as they matched their opponent in wins. X9XX drops 1 spot in the standings to 4th place, while Unstoppabowl sinks 1 spot to 3rd.
Finally, down on lanes 23 & 24: Churn and Burn traded lane malfunctions with Guttersluts. Although topped by Jason Carpio with his below-average 481 series, Churn and Burn got swept by Guttersluts. While that was going down, John Boren dominated Guttersluts with his 574 as they swept the competition. Churn and Burn plummets 2 spots in the standings to 8th place, while Guttersluts remain in 1st.
