7-10!

Posted by ScooterJ April 28, 2015 Spring 2015, Week 15 View Score Sheets

Wow, what a night! By all rights, the lead story should be about Amazeballs securing the championship, making next week a formality. But their accomplishment was overshadowed when Russell Bingham, a rookie, did what no one else has done in 31 seasons of our league's existence -- he picked up a 7-10 split! This is an accomplishment that is statistically far more rare than a 300 game. For a little more perspective, 38,245 individual games had been rolled in our league before Russell became the first to do this. Congratulations, Russell, for doing what 330 of our league's bowlers have been unable to do before you!Russell's amazing pick-up took place on lanes 41 & 42, where Squirtin' Tunas faced off against 10 Pins 10 Balls. Aaron Barber led the Tuna with his 578 series, to net 3 wins against 10 Pins 10 Balls. Phil Schroeder topped the Balls with his 561 series, but it was only enough for 1 win and an eerily precise 2000 team series. Neither team moves in the standings.
On lanes 43 & 44 formerly last-place Ballz Out continued their amazing second-half recovery against Gimme Headpin. Cliff Barendsen and his 510 series led Ballz Out in splitting the series... which was enough to finally get them out of last place. This series included a crazy frame in which Cliff knocked the 10-pin into the gutter, only for it to bounce out and stand back up. Not quite as awesomely as what happened in this video, but still pretty entertaining. Meanwhile Brian Coe and his 632 series helped Gimme Headpin match the Ballz. Ballz Out climbs 1 spot in the standings to 7th place, while Gimme Headpin drops 1 spot to 3rd.

Official Sponsor of Game 1

On lanes 45 & 46: The Pin is Mightier hoped to hold on to their spot in the rankings by winning at least one game against Sponsored By Rogue. Scott Murdock and his 483 series utterly failed in that regard, getting swept by Ian Goetz and his 677 series. Sponsored By Rogue secured a clean sweep. The Pin is Mightier drops 1 spot in the standings to DEAD LAST, while Sponsored By Rogue moves up 1 spot to 2nd.

Finally, down on lanes 47 & 48: Amazeballs only needed two wins against Split It & Hit It to secure the championship. Ryan Doll rolled a 564 series to lead Amazeballs to the "trophy"... barely... splitting the series with Split It & Hit It. But just barely is good enough, especially when two members of the opposing team both roll new personal best games (Todd Way with a 226 and Michael Smith with a 192). Todd's 560 series helped Split It split. Neither team moves in the standings, which is exactly what Amazeballs needed to win the championship. This is Angela Bradford's 4th championship, while Bryan Mohr, Rob Kaszuba, and Ryan Doll each earn their 2nd.

Speaking of championships, next week is the championship round of the Tournament of Champions. In the first round Aaron Barber will compete against Michael Smith, Dennis "Pops" Laube will keep it in the team by facing Freda Schroeder, Rob Kaszuba will match wits with Scott Murdock, and Carl Goetz will attempt to kick Jake Parrott in the ball return.Bowlers continuing to shatter league records in The 200 Club this week include: Aaron Barber (201), Aubrey Moren (209), Brian Coe (205,234), Carl Goetz (215,223,233), Dennis Blake (216), Ian Goetz (225,265), Kody Karnes (206), Phil Schroeder (243), Rob Kaszuba (209), Russell Bingham (216), Ryan Doll (203), Seth Gunderson (236,215), and Todd Way (226)Next week is the final position round and the last week of bowling that counts, but be sure to come back the week after that for awards, cash, and fun week!
