Taffy Pulls Further Ahead

Posted by ScooterJ October 20, 2015 Fall 2015, Week 8 View Score Sheets

Tonight's position round reshuffled the standings deck almost as much as Ian shuffled Scoot's poker cards a few weeks ago. In the process, two veteran bowlers set new personal best records.First up, on lanes 41 & 42: Stephen Hawking's Dance Club knew they couldn't get Salt Water Taffy unstuck from first place, but they hoped to at least time a bite from their lead. But Ian Goetz had already made plans to roll his new personal best series tonight, a 709, to lead his team to a 3-1 victory and further increase their overall pull on first. Michael Gordon tried to bust some moves, but his 570 series, could only secure 1 win for the Dance Club. Salt Water Taffy remains in 1st place, while Stephen Hawking's Dance Club drops 1 spot to 3rd -- albeit technically part of a 4-way tie for 2nd..

Part of Hold My Beer's strategy was to suddenly need to pee after leaving a 7-10.

On lanes 43 & 44: 404: Team Name Not Found hoped for a better outcome than the last time they met Hold My Beer, Watch This. Unfortunately Team Name Not Found was led by Scott Murdock and his 511 series, so could only muster one win. Aaron Barber and his 616 series led Hold My Beer to 3 wins. Team Name Not Found drops 2 spots in the standings to 5th place, while Hold My Beer, Watch This jumps 2 spots to 2nd. Both teams, however, are part of the 4-way tie for 2nd.

Over on lanes 45 & 46: Split It & Hit It faced off against Holy Sandbaggers, Batman!. Led by Phil Schroeder, who set a new personal best game with a 258, led his team with a 621 series. However, it wasn't enough to deal overcome Dennis Blake and his 617 series. Holy Sandbaggers, Batman! only bagged 1 win. Split It & Hit It climbs 1 spot in the standings to 4th place (also part of the 4-way tie for 2nd), while Holy Sandbaggers, Batman! drops 1 spot to 7th.

Finally, down on lanes 47 & 48: It's A Trap! faced off against Ray & Stevie. After apparently napping through the first game, Andrew Finger woke up and led his team to 3 wins with a 559 series, It's A Trap! secured 3 wins against Ray & Stevie. The Trap climbs 1 spot in the standings to 6th place.

This week in Tournament of Champions, Ian Goez continues his grip on Division 1, while Dennis Blake has all but conquered Division 2. Phile Schroeder pulled into the lead in Division 3, and Chelsie Finger has taken over the lead of Division 4.Bowlers celebrating a huge Royals victory in The 200 Club this week include: Aaron Barber (225,220), Andrew Finger (204,206), Carl Goetz (202,245), Dennis Blake (255,205), Ian Goetz (207,257,245), Kody Karnes (202,203), Michael Gordon (241), Phil Schroeder (258), Russell Bingham (224), and Seth Gunderson (227,212)See you next Tuesday... except for you chumps who have World Series tickets!
