On the flipside, Eric Lynch took the lead in the Crabs with his below-average 461 (along with kudos to #1 Power-Ranked and Most Valuable Bowler Ray Haynes, as well as #1 Head-to-Head ) as his team took the series with 3 wins. Top Guns drop 1 spot in the standings to 4th place, while the Crabs remain in 7th.
On lanes 19 & 20: D-Day sparred with When Push Comes To Shove. Notwithstanding the leadership of Demond Robinson with his above-average 540 series, D-Day accomplished only 1 win against the Shovers. On the other half of the score sheet, Dennis Laube laid down the law in the Shovers with his above-average 496 as his team took the series with 3 wins. D-Day remains in 1st place, while the Shovers move 1 spot to 3rd.
On lanes 21 & 22: Spanked spent some quality time with Hulk Smash!. Headlined by #1 Head-to-Head Bill Krejci and his remarkable 588 series, Spanked celebrated a clean sweep over the Hulk. As for the opposition, Carl Goetz oversaw the Hulk with his above-average 601 despite his team getting swept. Spanked remains in 8th place, while the Hulk sinks 1 spot to 6th.
Finally, down on lanes 23 & 24: The Good Sons deliberately ate cheese sticks in front of Bowlers of Mass Destruction. With the strength of Steve Robinson with his stunning 521 series, the Sons split the series with Mass Destruction. Across the ball return, Corey Weinfurt called the shots for Mass Destruction with his 481 as they matched their opponent in wins. The Good Sons leap 1 spot in the standings to 5th place, while Mass Destruction remains in 2nd.

NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 17&18, 6th-place Hulk Smash! (hcp 78) will roll against 3rd-place When Push Comes To Shove. The Hulk is expected to perform well, yet still manage to get swept; while the Shovers are forecast to raise their average while they rack up a sweep.
- Moving to lanes 19&20, 4th-place Top Guns will spend some quality time with 5th-place The Good Sons (hcp 128). Top Guns might perform well and sweep the series; while the Sons ought to hold steady as they endure a rough night.
- Then, over on lanes 21&22, 1st-place D-Day will hang out with 2nd-place Bowlers of Mass Destruction (hcp 6). D-Day will likely roll decently, but split the series with Mass Destruction; while Mass Destruction will probably raise their average while they keep the series tied.
- Finally, on lanes 23&24, 8th-place Spanked will throw some gutter balls with 7th-place Canned Crabs (hcp 112). Spanked is predicted to perform well and sweep the series; while the Crabs are anticipated to raise their average even as they endure a rough night.
