I struggled through the beginning of my first game, recovered enough to salvage a 147, but my troubles threatened to carry over into the second game. Problem was I wasn’t carrying the high-flush hit today, so, late in the second game, I decided to move outside to a first-arrow shot in order to give myself more entry angle, and it paid off, as I finished the game with a hambone for a 188. I kept at it, but a couple of splits and another spare miss kept my score down in my last game. Yet, I still took it off the sheet in the 10th frame for a 178. I still think I cross over too much; strangely enough, however, I usually carry the Brooklyn hit, and many of my strings of strikes have had at least one Brooklyn strike in them.
Result: 147-188-178=513
