They’re Going In Dry

Posted by Ken February 25, 2014 Spring 2014, Week 5 View Score Sheets

Going into Week #5, the two teams on top of the league standings were somewhat untested against heavy hitters. No one can claim that now as they found themselves going up against the teams just below them. While one of those teams faltered in their showdown, another one absolutely demolished their competition and extended their lead over everyone in the Spring 2014 season. Big scores, big series, and big wins make up the bulk of this week's recap.The first matchup of the evening featured the debut of a substitute that definitely made his mark right off the bat. Josh Kell, who stepped in for birthday boy Rob Kaszuba, put up a team leading 563 series for Bowltron to debut in the 9th spot on the Top 25 Best Substitute Bowlers of all time list. Despite Kell's heroics, the men of UpgrayeDD – led by Rookie of the Season front-runner Josh Robison and his 488 series – battled the reigning champions to a standstill to split the night 2-2. The outcome doesn't help nor hurt the teams in the standings with both staying put, Bowltron in 5th and UpgrayeDD in 6th place.With the original lineup of Split It & Hit It all together for the first time all season you'd think that this would be the week that they start their monster run like last season, right? Wrong, according to Twerking Balls. Nearly blanking last season's Cinderella story, Twerking came away with their first matchup victory all season with a 3-1 win over Split It. Led by this week's Most Valuable Bowler performer Jake Parrott and his 507 series, the T-Balls took Games #1 and #2 before narrowly dropping the third contest but took total pins and remain in 8th. Split It, led by anchor Dennis Blake and his 504 series, remain in 7th place.On lanes 45 & 46, Pinterest came out firing on all cylinders against opponents Mark It Zero and never once looked back. With anchor Seth Gunderson throwing his career high series of 668 to lead his team – along with help from this week's #1 Power Ranked bowler Jonathan Vigliaturo – Pinterest absolutely destroyed Mark It Zero in a clean sweep. Game #2 was their best output, with the men combining for a 837, the 25th highest 4-man team game ever shot in league history. Zero's Kody Karnes led the league with a 671 series but he had no help against the onslaught of Pinterest. With the wins Pinterest sits at 18-2 on the season, a full four games ahead of the rest of the league. Mark It Zero slips over the line to 4th place.The final matchup of the evening pitted long-time rivals Schwetty Balls against The Finger Holes in a battle between 2nd and 4th place. After a strong start by The F-Holes, barely led this week by anchor Aubrey Moren with a 516 series, the games became individual battles of attrition as both teams struggled – and ultimately failed – to shoot their team averages. In the end, it was The F-Holes who held on each game to take the night 4-0 against Schwetty. Bob Brunker put up the highest series in the losing effort, booking a 430 series before quickly leaving the bowling alley in stunned silence. The Finger Holes were the only team to climb the standings this week, hopping two spots up into 2nd place. Schwetty Balls melt down one spot into 3rd place.The Tournament of Champions results are in and here are your current division leaders:Division 1 = Seth Gunderson (9), Ian Goetz (7)Division 2 = Phil Schroeder/Jonathan Vigliaturo (6), Anita Osthoff (4)Division 3 = Josh Robison (7), Bryan Mohr/Matt Bunyard (3)Division 4 = Steve Kohlmeyer (9), Michael Gordon (6)Bowlers wanting to order whatever Seth is having this week at The 200 Club include: Freda Schroeder (213), Ian Goetz (221, 214), Jonathan Vigliaturo (221), Josh Kell (212), Kody Karnes (246, 214, 211), and Seth Gunderson (256, 219).See you next Tuesday!
