The fourteenth week of Fall 2005 saw one team climb in the standings, while two teams slipped. Two bowlers set a new personal best series, and two rolled new personal high games. Freda Schroeder picked up this week's high game (215) and series (588) for the women. As for the men, Ken M. Wilson snagged this week's high game with a 236, and high series was earned by Thomas Lin with a 615. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 21 & 22: Bora Bora! celebrated their love of large, heavy balls with Same Belt, New Notch. Even though highlighted by the skills of #1 Power Ranked and #1 Head-to-Head Freda Schroeder and her dazzling 588 series, Bora Bora! accomplished only 1 win against the Belt. On the other side, Carl Goetz called the shots for the Belt with his above-average 585 (with kudos to Most Valuable Bowler Scott Murdock) as his team took the series with 3 wins. Bora Bora! drops 1 spot in the standings to 3rd place, while the Belt jumps 2 spots to 1st.
On lanes 23 & 24: Derka, Derka kept stealing sips of beer from Munson'd. Demonstrating the prowess of Thomas Lin with his astonishing 615 series, Derka, Derka celebrated a clean sweep over Munson'd. Concurrently, Ryan Doll reigned supreme in Munson'd with his 475 despite his team getting swept. Derka, Derka remains in 4th place, while Munson'd remains in 8th.
On lanes 25 & 26: Harry Potter and the Magic Balls spent some quality time with The Big LeBowlskies. In spite of top-billing by Andy Metzler with his 465 series, Harry Potter missed getting swept by The Big LeBowlskies by just one pin. While that was going down, Michael Basham guided The Big LeBowlskies with his stupendous 561 as his team took the series with 3.5 wins. Harry Potter and the Magic Balls remains in 7th place, while The Big LeBowlskies remain in 6th.
Finally, down on lanes 27 & 28: Three Men and a Babe tussled with Tatonka. With the strength of David Codding with his 583 series, Three Men and a Babe collected 3 wins against Tatonka. Countering this, Joel Henning took the lead in Tatonka with his commanding 489 despite his team notching only a single win. Three Men and a Babe remains in 5th place, while Tatonka sinks 1 spot to 2nd.
Bowlers who lied to their significant other claiming bowling was running long then went out for after-bowling drinks at The 200 Club include: Carl Goetz (224), David Codding (205), Demond Robinson (202), Freda Schroeder (200,215), Ken M. Wilson (236), Michael Basham (213), Scott Murdock (202), Seth Gunderson (214), and Thomas Lin (226,226)
