Season 21: Spring 2010

RECAP
Recruitment for the 2010 Spring season proved to be a difficult endeavor so the league was forced to slim down to an 8-team format for the first time in several years. Rookies Jim Flath, Greg Shelton, Kim Shelton, Joe Longstreet, Bill Riley, Lawrence Prak, Shane Pfaffly and Ian Goetz all made their league debuts with Goetz going on to earn Rookie of the Season honors.

Dominating the first half of the season were the teams 3 Pin Moon and No Pinheads with each holding onto the top spot in the league standings for almost the entire first two months of league play. Ryan Doll, the season's Most Valuable Bowler, kept his 3 Pin Moon teammates in the running for the league championship up to the final few weeks but fell victim to two teams made up of some of the league's longest tenured veterans.

In what would be one of the tightest contests in league Finals history, the Empire Strikes Back needed all four victories to win the season. Zero, one or two victories by the Empire in the Finals would have resulted in opponents Scoot Gave Us the Schlitz winning it all. If the series ended 3-1, however, the teams would have to enact a never-before-used league rule in which the two top teams would have a one game "winner takes all" rolloff for the championship. Fortunately for the Empire, they came away with an improbable sweep of Schlitz to secure the title.

Game #2's tenth frame in the Finals saw a series of unlikely events unfold as – with the game on the line – legendary game closers Bob Brunker, Angela Bradford, Carl Goetz and Wilson all opened. The game was settled by a mere nine pins.

The championship was Ken M. Wilson's 9th, Carl Goetz's 7th, Chris Lewis' 3rd and Ian Goetz's first.
