Spencer For Hire

Posted by ScooterJ October 28, 2020 Fall 2020, Week 7 View Score Sheets

Ben Spencer is on fire, and apparently also for hire. After two weeks of some of his best bowling ever, Ben is now already fielding offers for next season. And that's no surprise after he quadfectaed this week by earning Most Valuable Bowler, #1 Power Ranked Bowler, and #1 Head-to-Head Bowler, as well as winning his division in the Tournament of Champions.

Elsewhere, JoAnne Barber picked up this week's high game (168) and series (388) for the woman. As for the men, Michael Gordon snagged this week's high game with a 237, and high series was earned by Ben Spencer with a 652. Read on for all the rest of the details!

First up, on lanes 17 & 18: LETITSNOW bonked balls together with Six Games Apart, But Better. Thanks to the existence of Ben Spencer and his amazing 652 series, Le Tits, Now collected 3 wins against But Better. As for the opposition, James Tott with his fantastic 543 series took the lead among But Better despite his team notching only a single (but incredible) win. LETITSNOW remains in 1st place, while But Better remains in 3rd.

On lanes 19 & 20: The big bullies of Six Games Apart picked off Three Blind Strikes like sharks to chum buckets. Uniting behind the leadership of Dennis Walling with his above-average 619 series, 6 Games locked up a clean sweep over Blind Strikes. Over on the other side, Curtis Whiles with his better-than-normal 520 series showed off for Blind Strikes despite his team getting swept. Six Games Apart remains in 2nd place, while Blind Strikes remain in 4th.

Next week is our last session, and our championship. LETITSNOW maintains a 2-game lead, so must win two to clinch or one to force a roll-off. Six Games Apart can upend all that by winning three. Given the topsy-turvy history of these teams against each other, it's going to be interesting!

Bowlers ducking past the bouncer at The 200 Club include: Ben Spencer (206,222,224), Dennis Walling (226,215), James Tott (229), Matthew Taylor (215,215), Michael Gordon (237), and Scott Murdock (203)

The 168 rolled by JoAnne Barber is this season's new high game among women.
