NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 15&16, 1st-place Anchors Aweigh! will chuck some balls with 2nd-place Bowlers of Mass Confusion (hcp 72). The Anchors are expected to maintain their current strength as they and split the series with Mass Confusion; while Mass Confusion is forecast to raise their average while they keep the series tied.
- Moving to lanes 17&18, 5th-place Wolverines will roll against 3rd-place Bowl me Ishmael! (hcp 74). The Wolverines might perform well and win the series; while Ishmael ought to raise their average even as they avoid getting swept.
