Almost to the Finish Line

Posted by Ken November 19, 2013 Fall 2013, Week 14 View Score Sheets

The final few weeks of each season are always an exercise of "what will happen if" scenarios. While some seasons have already been settled and decided, the Fall 2013 session is not one of them. Mathematically, the top four teams are still in the running albeit with two of those teams sitting in there with very long odds. Next week's matchups will truly set the stage for how the Finals will go down but, for now, Week #14's action brings us just the right amount of intrigue to keep it interesting. Here's what went down...Not having won a series against any opponent since the position round, the men of Breaking Bad finally managed to leave the bowling alley on the positive side of a battle after taking a 3-1 victory over Gutterfingers. With Kody Karnes leading the entire league with his 651 series, Bad bounced back after a narrow Game #1 loss to secure three victories and moved up one place into 5th place. Gutterfingers' Anita Osthoff led her team with a 538 series and remains in 7th place.Needing to stave off the surging of the teams just below them in the league standings, the men of Bowltron fired on all cylinders to emphatically bounce back after a lax second half of the season against opponents Even Brunker Than Defore. With anchor Ryan Doll finally earning his keep with a team-leading 621 series as well as Bryan Mohr's stint as this week's #1 Power Ranked bowler , 'tron earned one of two sweeps Tuesday night. Eric Lynch's 405 series led the way for Defore but it simply was not enough to derail the revitalized Bowltron. Both teams remain in their respective spots with Bowlton in 1st and Brunker Than Defore in 8th place.With time running out, every win that Bewbie Dance can secure keeps them in the hunt for the title this season. Facing reigning champs Will Strike if Provoked, Bewbie came out to take Game #1 by two pins and then Game #2 in a big way behind anchor Carl Goetz and his 641 series. When things looked rosy for the Bewbs, Provoked emphatically struck back. With Aubrey Moren's personal season high series of 643 just in time, Will Strike turned the tables to even the matchup at 2-2 to keep their hopes at repeating alive...barely. The wins keep Bewbie Dance in 2nd place, although they now trail Bowltron by three, but find Will Strike if Provoked slipping one spot into 4th place.If there is a team that has turned it around this season, it's definitely Split It and Hit It. After having knocked around the league for the past few sessions, the men have found a way to win a lot this season and did so again when they needed to the most against opponents Ballz Out. With anchor Dennis Blake's 562 series coupled with this week's Most Valuable Bowler performance from teammate Matt Bunyard, the Split It gang notched a 4-0 matchup victory to improve to 3rd place with their impressive 33-23 record. Ballz Out, whose jets seem to have cooled here recently, fall one spot down into 6th place. Anchor Cliff Barendsen led the team with his below-average 389 series.The Tournament of Champions rolls on:Division 1 = Ryan Doll (29), Ken M. Wilson (20)/Carl Goetz (20)Division 2 = Angela Bradford (26), Jonathan Vigliaturo (18)Division 3 = Freda Schroeder (30), Bryan Mohr (21)Division 4 = Chadwick Andrews (23), Steve Kohlmeyer (22)This week's rollers spied at The 200 Club include: Anita Osthoff (210), Aubrey Moren (223, 224), Bryan Mohr (202), Carl Goetz (222, 216, 203), Dennis Blake (224), John Boren (202, 225), Jonathan Vigliaturo (204), Ken M.
