The fourteenth week of Fall 2004 saw one team climb in the standings, while one team slipped. Two bowlers set a new personal best series, and four rolled new personal high games. Angela Bradford picked up this week's high game (193) and series (541) for the women, while Pat Searcy earned this week's high game (269) and series (701) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 19 & 20: Recreation Intoxication alternated splits with Bowlkake. Blessed by Pat Searcy with his remarkable 701 series, Recreation celebrated a clean sweep over Bowlkake. Conversely, Justin Strelow called the shots for Bowlkake with his above-average 567 despite his team getting swept. Recreation Intoxication remains in 2nd place, while Bowlkake remains in 6th.
On lanes 21 & 22: Die Schlag-Maschinen entered a showdown to the death with Real Ultimate Ninja Bowlers. Notwithstanding the leadership of Jerry Krall with his spectacular 462 series, Die Schlag-Maschinen accomplished only 1 win against the Ninjas. While that was going down, Dennis Laube shined in the Ninjas with his 506 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Die Schlag-Maschinen remains in 8th place, while the Ninjas sink 1 spot to 4th.
On lanes 23 & 24: Ashley Razabacks tussled with Paul Hamms. Led by Rich DeYoung with his above-average 536 series, the Razabacks celebrated a clean sweep over the Hamms. On the other half of the score sheet, Bill Krejci guided the Hamms with his (either injured, sick, or sandbagging) 461 despite his team getting swept. Ashley Razabacks leap 1 spot in the standings to 3rd place, while the Hamms remain in 7th.
Finally, down on lanes 25 & 26: The Belt Strikes Back faced off against A Solid No. 2. Headlined by trifecta-winner (#1 Head-to-Head, #1 Power-Ranked, and Most Valuable Bowler) Demond Robinson and his splendid 683 series, the Belt celebrated a clean sweep over No. 2. On the adjacent lane, Eric Lynch dominated No. 2 with his above-average 546 despite his team getting swept. The Belt Strikes Back remains in 1st place, while No. 2 remains in 5th.

NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 19&20, 3rd-place Ashley Razabacks (hcp 66) will hang out with 1st-place The Belt Strikes Back. The Razabacks are expected to perform well, yet still manage to get swept; while the Belt is forecast to raise their average while they rack up a sweep.
- Moving to lanes 21&22, 5th-place A Solid No. 2 will chuck some balls with 7th-place Paul Hamms (hcp 50). No. 2 might maintain their current strength as they win the series; while the Hamms ought to hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
- Then, over on lanes 23&24, 8th-place Die Schlag-Maschinen (hcp 193) will share a couple of pitchers with 6th-place Bowlkake. Die Schlag-Maschinen will likely roll decently, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Bowlkake will probably drop their average a bit even as they enjoy their victories.
- Finally, on lanes 25&26, 2nd-place Recreation Intoxication will challenge 4th-place Real Ultimate Ninja Bowlers (hcp 81). Recreation is predicted to maintain their current strength as they win the series; while the Ninjas are anticipated to raise their average even as they avoid getting swept.
