On lanes 21 & 22: Your Mom tussled with Sh!t, I Don't Know.

Across the ball return, #1 Head-to-Head Duncan Ferber oversaw I Don't Know with his above-average 653 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Your Mom remains in 8th place, while I Don't Know remains in 1st.

On lanes 23 & 24: The GameCox deliberately ate cheese sticks in front of Dios Mios. Despite the strength of Jason Carpio with his 531 series, the GameCox accomplished only 1 win against Dios Mios. Conversely, Bill Krejci called the shots for Dios Mios with his 548 as his team took the series with 3 wins. The GameCox remains in 9th place, while Dios Mios sink 1 spot to 4th.

On lanes 25 & 26: Bad Newz Kennels alternated between bowling and dry humping Split Happens.

Meanwhile, Nick Allegri shined in Split Happens with his below-average 454 despite his team notching only a single win. Bad Newz Kennels remains in 2nd place, while Split Happens remain in 6th.

Finally, down on lanes 27 & 28: Seefeldt the Glasscock kept stealing sips of beer from Cannonbelt Run.

On the adjacent lane, Nik Domann drew the spotlight in Cannonbelt with his below-average 472 despite his team getting swept. Seefeldt the Glasscock leaps 1 spot in the standings to 3rd place, while Cannonbelt remains in 5th.

NEXT WEEK:

• First, on lanes 19&20, 1st-place Sh!t, I Don't Know will battle 2nd-place Bad Newz Kennels (hcp 38). I Don't Know is expected to roll a little low, but split the series with the Kennels; while the Kennels are forecast to hold steady as they keep the series tied.
• Moving to lanes 21&22, 3rd-place Seefeldt the Glasscock will face 4th-place Dios Mios (hcp 103). The Glasscock might roll a little low, yet still manage to just barely miss sweeping the series; while Dios Mios ought to hold steady as they just barely avoid getting swept.
• Then, over on lanes 23&24, 5th-place Cannonbelt Run will meet with 6th-place Split Happens (hcp 27). Cannonbelt will likely roll decently and just barely miss sweeping the series; while Split Happens will probably hold steady as they just barely avoid getting swept.
• Next up, on lanes 25&26, 7th-place Ebowla (hcp 54) will roll against 9th-place The GameCox. Ebowla might maintain their current strength as they get swept; while the GameCox ought to raise their average while they rack up a sweep.
• Finally, on lanes 27&28, 8th-place Your Mom will chuck some balls with 10th-place Seriously Handicapped (hcp 30). Your Mom is predicted to perform well and win the series; while the Handicapped is anticipated to raise their average even as they avoid getting swept.
