The Spring 2005 season draws to a close, with All Belt, No Buckle officially earning this season's championship title! The final week saw one team climb in the standings, while one team slipped. Freda Schroeder picked up this week's high game (201) and series (530) for the women, while Carl Goetz earned this week's high game (225) and series (594) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 19 & 20: All Belt, No Buckle celebrated their love of large, heavy balls with 4 Play. Even though highlighted by the skills of Seth Gunderson with his 451 series, the Belt accomplished only 1 win against 4 Play. In the midst of this, Pat Searcy shined in 4 Play with his 536 as his team took the series with 3 wins. All Belt, No Buckle complete in 1st place, while 4 Play end up with 2nd.
On lanes 21 & 22: Sub Parre deliberately ate cheese sticks in front of Nellielocks and the 3 Spares. Blessed by Ken M. Wilson with his 572 series, Sub Parre collected 3 wins against Nellielocks. Across the ball return, Rich DeYoung took the lead in Nellielocks with his 520 despite his team notching only a single win. Sub Parre end the season in 3rd place, while Nellielocks go home with 4th.
On lanes 23 & 24: Handicrappers couldn't stop undressing with their eyes the members of The Incredibowls. Although topped by Paul Linder with his above-average 438 series, Handicrappers got swept by The Incredibowls. On the other half of the score sheet, Carl Goetz reigned supreme in The Incredibowls with his above-average 594 (benefitted greatly by real star — trifecta-winner #1 Power-Ranked, #1 Head-to-Head, and Most Valuable Bowler Freda Schroeder) as they swept the competition. Handicrappers drop 1 spot in the standings to end in 6th place, while The Incredibowls move 1 spot to wind up in 5th.
Finally, down on lanes 25 & 26: Bowlingstar Galactica traded lane malfunctions with Big Pin Pin. With top billing by Eric Lynch with his below-average 464 series, the Galactica collected 3 wins against Pin Pin. . With Pin Pin forfeiting, all the Galactica needed to do was roll within 40 pins of their combined team average each game. However, that would not be the case. Bowlingstar Galactica finish in 7th place, while Pin Pin come out in 8th.

while Rich will take away the second-place pot. Congratulations!
