Best. Series. Ever.

Posted by Ken May 6, 2014 Spring 2014, Week 15 View Score Sheets

The Spring 2014 had two great events take place during Week #14. Firstly, the scrappy band of Jonathan Vigliaturo, Andy McLeod, Ian Goetz, and Seth Gunderson wrapped up the season to clinch the championship crown the week before the Finals. Congratulations to this season's new champs! This is the first championship title for JV and Andy, Ian's 4th, and Seth's 6th. In other news, one of the league's long-standing records has fallen to a man serving our country (although it's legality was quickly called into consideration by a small faction of the league – don't worry, it's legal and even confirmed by two members at the front desk). Ready to get all of the details? Read on...Last season, the bulk of the members of Pinterest had to watch as their run to the title evaporated the week before the Finals. This time around? Nuh-uh. Taking the bulls by the horns, the guys took a 3-1 matchup victory over opponents Schwetty Balls to secure the title. Led by Ian Goetz and his 607 series (not to mention career high output from Andy McLeod who shot a 583), the team took Games #1, #2, and total pins despite a trouncing in Game #3. Schwetty's anchor Angela Bradford provided the most fire power with her 523 series but could only secure one win. The wins secure the Spring 2014 title for Pinterest while Schwetty remains in 3rd place.After finding out that he was going to be deployed here in the States and miss the rest of the season, Mark It Zero's powerhouse Kody Karnes asked if he could pre-bowl for the remaining three weeks. After a sub-par performance in his first three games for last week, he fired on all cylinders in his second set and rolled an incredible 773 – the highest series ever rolled in league history. We don't know which made him happier: learning that he had rolled the league's highest series or that those games lined up against opponents The Finger Holes &ndasah; his #1 Power Ranked bowler scores helped to win 3-1 and ended The F-Holes quest for the title this season. Aubrey Moren led the F-Holes in the losing effort with a 605 series. With the wins, Mark It Zero enter the Finals in 5th while The Finger Holes hole up in 2nd place. Tune in next week to see if the legality of bowlers rolling in leprechaun suits are called into question.After coming out and taking Game #1, Twerking Balls looked to add more wins to their tally heading into the big showdown next week but ran into championship surrendering Bowltron. With Ryan Doll's 581 series leading the way, 'tron fought back to not relinquish any more games Tuesday night to end 3-1 in their matchup. Lead off roller Jake Parrott's 469 series led the way for the Twerkers, who enter the Finals in 6th while Bowltron remains in 4th place.It's not officially a season of GutterAlley action unless we have a game end in a tie. In the battle between UpgrayeDD and Split It & Hit It, rookie of the season front-runner Josh Robison put up a 470 series to help UpgrayeDD take Game #1. Split It, led by anchor Dennis Blake's 487 series – along with this week's Most Valuable Bowler performance out of ever-improving roller Mark DeVoe – struck back to take Game #2 by a solid margin. Game #3, however, came down to the final shot and ended in a perfect tie with both teams splitting the point. Total pins went to Split It to take the night 2.5-1.5 to cap off a night in which not a single team moved up or down in the league standings. Split It & Hit It remains in 7th while UpgrayeDD sticks to 8th place.The Tournament of Champions seeding is now set. The divisional winners are as follows:Division 1 = Ian Goetz (30), Seth Gunderson (25)Division 2 = Phil Schroeder (26), Ryan Doll (20)Division 3 = Freda Schroeder (19), Teresa Deterding (19)Division 4 = Michael Gordon (34), Michael Smith (17)The bracket now has the matchups ready to go. Good luck to the eight participants!
