Charging into the fray behind Most Valuable Bowler Nathan Burrows and his spectacular 388 series, Excuses landed a clean sweep over BJs. Moving on to the challengers, Carl Mueller with his 348 series laid down the law for BJs despite his team getting swept.

On lanes 3 & 4: A well-matched pair of rivals gathered as Rat & Roll had a delightful time with Fist My Bump . Despite being led by Ian Estey with his 504 series, Rats got swept by Fist My Bump. Across the ball return, #1 Power Ranked and #1 Head-to-Head Scott Murdock and his dramatic 529 series drew the spotlight of Fist My Bump as they swept the competition. Rat & Roll plummets 2 spots in the standings to 5th place, while Fist My Bump moves up 1 spot to 1st.

Finally, down on lanes 5 & 6: Squid Row deliberately ate cheese sticks in front of The Queenpins. With extra motivation generated by Ben Spencer with his 543 series, Squids collected 3 wins against Queenpins. On the flipside, Jon Little with his better-than-normal 579 series shone in Queenpins despite his team notching only a single win. Squid Row drops 1 spot in the standings to 2nd place, while Queenpins move up 1 spot to 4th.
