On lanes 21 & 22: Canned Crabs couldn't stop inappropriately groping D-Day. Regardless of the star power of Eric Lynch with his 488 series, the Crabs got swept by D-Day. On the adjacent lane, Ken M. Wilson mastered D-Day with his above-average 547 as they swept the competition. Canned Crabs drop 1 spot in the standings to 7th place, while D-Day moves 1 spot to 2nd.
Finally, down on lanes 23 & 24: The Good Sons waged a heated competition against Hulk Smash!. Headlined by Steve Robinson with his awe-inspiring 499 series, and supported tremendously by real star — trifecta-winner #1 Power-Ranked, #1 Head-to-Head, and Most Valuable Bowler Michelle Tollefson, the Sons celebrated a clean sweep over the Hulk. Across the ball return, Carl Goetz took the lead in the Hulk with his 519 despite his team getting swept. The Good Sons remains in 4th place, while the Hulk sinks 1 spot to 6th.
