Empire Strikes Back leaps 1 spot in the standings to 1st place, while Bowlumpkin plunges 2 spots to 7th.
On lanes 27 & 28: The Prak Attack spent some quality time with Scoot Gave Us The Schlitz. Demonstrating the prowess of Shane Pfaffly with his dazzling 491 series, the Attack celebrated a clean sweep over the Schlitz. Meanwhile, Angela Bradford called the shots for the Schlitz with her commanding 582 despite her team getting swept. The Prak Attack leaps 2 spots in the standings to 5th place, while the Schlitz sinks 1 spot to 2nd.
On lanes 29 & 30: Lil' Devils did battle with 3 Pin Moon.

As for the opposition, Ryan Doll shined in 3 Pin Moon with his 568 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Lil' Devils remains in 4th place, while 3 Pin Moon remains in 3rd.
Finally, down on lanes 31 & 32: No Pinheads waged a heated competition against Little Lebowski Urban Achievers. Topped by Aubrey Moren with his remarkable 594 series, the Pinheads split the series with the Urban Achievers. In the midst of this, Mitch Kempker reigned supreme in the Urban Achievers with his 562 (with kudos to Most Valuable Bowler Greg Shelton) as they matched their opponent in wins. No Pinheads remains in 6th place, while the Urban Achievers remain in 8th.

- Then, over on lanes 29&30, 2nd-place Scoot Gave Us The Schlitz will test their mettle against 8th-place Little Lebowski Urban Achievers (hcp 114). The Schlitz will likely maintain their current strength as they sweep the series; while the Urban Achievers will probably raise their average even as they endure a rough night.
