Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 19 & 20: All Belt, No Buckle shared a platter of cheese sticks with 4 Play.

Concurrently, Rich DeYoung guided Nellielocks with his 520 despite his team notching only a single win. Sub Parre close out in 3rd place, while Nellielocks come out in 4th.
On lanes 23 & 24: Handicrappers had a delightful time with The Incredibowls. While headlined by Paul Linder with his above-average 438 series, Handicrappers got swept by The Incredibowls. While that was going down, Carl Goetz shined in The Incredibowls with his above-average 594 (benefitted greatly by real star — trifecta-winner #1 Power-Ranked, #1 Head-to-Head, and Most Valuable Bowler Freda Schroeder) as they swept the competition. Handicrappers drop 1 spot in the standings to end the season in 6th place, while The Incredibowls move 1 spot to end up with 5th.
Finally, down on lanes 25 & 26: Bowlingstar Galactica spent some quality time with Big Pin Pin. Reinforced by Eric Lynch with his below-average 464 series, the Galactica collected 3 wins against Pin Pin. . With Pin Pin forfeiting, all the Galactica needed to do was roll within 40 pins of their combined team average each game. However, that would not be the case. Bowlingstar Galactica complete in 7th place, while Pin Pin cross the finish line in 8th.
