Wilson snagged this week's high game with a 248, and high series was earned by Carl Goetz with a 619. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 25 & 26: 3 Pin Moon deliberately ate cheese sticks in front of Scoot Gave Us The Schlitz.

Empire Strikes Back leaps 1 spot in the standings to 2nd place, while the Pinheads remain in 4th.
On lanes 29 & 30: Bowlumpkin kept grabbing the balls of Lil' Devils. Reinforced by Orion Kinkaid with his 409 series, Bowlumpkin split the series with Lil' Devils. On the other side, Janelle (Laube) Lamar laid down the law in Lil' Devils with her 402 as they matched their opponent in wins. Bowlumpkin remains in 5th place, while Lil' Devils remain in 6th.
Finally, down on lanes 31 & 32: Little Lebowski Urban Achievers took turns kicking the ball return with The Prak Attack. Although topped by Jason Carpio with his 527 series, the Urban Achievers accomplished only 1 win against the Attack. Conversely, Shane Pfaffly called the shots for the Attack with his below-average 399 (with kudos to Most Valuable Bowler Lawrence Prak) as his team took the series with 3 wins. Little Lebowski Urban Achievers remains in 8th place, while the Attack remains in 7th.
