As for the men, Kendall Kukowski snagged this week's high game with a 236, and high series was earned by John Boren with a 588. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 15 & 16: Doll's Balls traded lane malfunctions with Unstoppabowl. In spite of top-billing by #1 Head-to-Head John Richardson and his above-average 526 series, Doll's Balls accomplished only 1 win against Unstoppabowl.

While that was going down, Carl Goetz drew the spotlight in Ten Pin with his 574 as his team took the series with 3 wins. T.B.D. remains in 10th place, while Ten Pin jumps 2 spots to 7th.
On lanes 19 & 20: Oily Balls shared a few beers with King Pins. Headlined by Ken M. Wilson with his 541 series, with a nod to #1 Power-Ranked Deena Slinkard, Oily Balls collected 3 wins against King Pins. In the meantime, Duncan Ferber commanded King Pins with his 545 despite his team notching only a single win. Oily Balls remains in 2nd place, while King Pins remain in 6th.
On lanes 21 & 22: Guttersluts sparred with Those 4 Bowlers. Featuring John Boren with his above-average 588 series, Guttersluts collected 3 wins against 4 Bowlers. Across the ball return, Seth Gunderson mastered 4 Bowlers with his below-average 494 despite his team notching only a single win. Guttersluts remains in 1st place, while 4 Bowlers remain in 5th.
Finally, down on lanes 23 & 24: X9XX waged a heated competition against Churn and Burn. Demonstrating the prowess of Stefan Miller with his 524 series, X9XX split the series with Churn and Burn. Simultaneously, James Cholke called the shots for Churn and Burn with his above-average 510 (with kudos to Most Valuable Bowler Jamie Gibson) as they matched their opponent in wins.

NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 15&16, 10th-place T.B.D. (hcp 119) will share a couple of pitchers with 3rd-place X9XX. T.B.D. is expected to maintain their current strength as they get swept; while X9XX is forecast to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Moving to lanes 17&18, 6th-place King Pins (hcp 68) will compete against 4th-place Unstoppabowl. King Pins might maintain their current strength as they just barely miss getting swept; while Unstoppabowl ought to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
- Then, over on lanes 19&20, 1st-place Guttersluts (hcp 8) will spend some quality time with 7th-place Frickin' Ten Pin. Guttersluts will likely have a bit of an off night and get swept; while Ten Pin will probably hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Next up, on lanes 21&22, 9th-place Doll's Balls (hcp 8) will meet with 8th-place Churn and Burn. Doll's Balls might maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Churn and Burn ought to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
- Finally, on lanes 23&24, 2nd-place Oily Balls will socialize with 5th-place Those 4 Bowlers (hcp 73). Oily Balls are predicted to maintain their current strength as they and split the series with 4 Bowlers; while 4 Bowlers are anticipated to raise their average while they keep the series tied.
