The Cream Rises

Posted by Ken February 3, 2015 Spring 2015, Week 3 View Score Sheets

There's an old saying that history repeats itself...well, considering that we only lost four bowlers from last season, it seems that the league is falling right back into the way it finished in the Fall for the most part. Week #3 is typically the calm after the storm of the first two weeks as averages wildly fluctuate but begin to settle. Tentatively, only two teams swapped places in the league standings as the bowlers of the Spring 2015 season get ready for the next 13 weeks of competition. NOTE: Until the members of Ballz Out complete their post-bowling, the full standings cannot be determined. This also impacts this week's #1 Power Ranked bowler as well as the Most Valuable Bowler results. Lastly, the seeding of the Tournament of Champions also cannot be truly calculated. Dammit, Cliff, hurry up and bowl! :) Having started the season with a perfect 8-0 record, the men of Gimme Headpin looked like they were well on their way to maintaining perfection after taking Game #1 from opponents Amazeballs behind Kody Karnes' 261 game and 703 series. Game #2, however, ended the party as Amazes' anchor Ryan Doll woke up and hoisted a team-leading 613 series to take the narrow victory in Game #2. Game #3 also came down to the wire with the Amazeballs upsetting Gimme by a 6-pin margin. Total pins, however, went to the current league leaders who manage to hold onto their top spot with a league best 10-2 record. The Amazeballs, at 6.5-5.5, remain in 5th place.Down on Lanes 43 & 44, Sponsored by Rogue continues to rack up the wins nearly blanking Squirtin' Tunas but coming away with a 3-1 matchup victory. Led by Carl Goetz and his 610 series, Rogue easily took Game #1 before dropping a close contest in Game #2. The Tunas' Michael Gordon surprised everyone with back-to-back 200+ games and led his team to the Game #2 upset with his 553 series. Game #3 and total pins, however, were chalked up as victories in favor of Sponsored by Rogue who remains in 2nd place with their 9-3 record. The Squirtin' Tunas, now at 7-5, slip one spot into 4th place due to the total pins tiebreaker.The results of the matchup between Split It & Hit It and Ballz Out will be tallied once Cliff and crew post-bowl. Stay tuned!In the lengthiest matchup of the evening, The Pin is Mightier and 10 Pins 10 Balls battled one another to a standstill en route to their 2-2 outcome. After an emphatic win in Game #1, the 10 Pins – led this week by lead-off bowler Phil Schroeder's 613 series – seemed to be completely in charge...but then came Game #2. With anchor Scott Murdock's 489 series, Mightier lived up to their name to take a 10-pin victory in the second contest and followed it up with an 11-pin victory in Game #3. Total pins, however, saved the day for 10 Pins 10 Balls and split the series. With their 7-5 record, 10 Pins gets the benefit of total pins once again to move up one spot to 3rd. The Pin is Mightier, currently at 4-8, remain tentatively in 6th place.Bowlers fighting over who gets to wear the Super Bowl halftime shark costume in The 200 Club this week include: Bob Brunker (202, 202), Brian Coe (208, 248), Carl Goetz (244), Dennis Laube (214), Ian Goetz (205, 214), Ken M.
