I remembered to have a scoresheet printed up after the match this time, so this recap will be a bit more detailed than the one I gave for the match between Sean Richard and Mark Roth back in December. 😀
In the first game, Rose stayed clean, but wasn’t putting together strikes like he could, getting doubles in the third and fourth frames, and again in the sixth and seventh before closing out the game with three strikes in the tenth for a 223. Aguiar opened the game with a turkey before chopping the 3 pin off of the 3-6-10 leave. He recovered, however, putting together a hambone in the fifth through eighth frames en route to a 236.
Rose started the second game with a five-bagger, and Aguiar was keeping contact with him until he left the 2-8-10 in the eighth frame. Aguiar did close the game out with a hambone for a 227, however, while Rose finished up with a 245 for the second game win.
After going strike-spare to start the third game, Rose racked up a four-bagger and it appeared that he would get through thirty frames clean. However, similar to Aguiar in the second game, Rose left the 2-8-10 split in the eighth frame, which ruined the bid. The third game was close in the tenth frame, at which point Rose struck out while Aguiar could only manage nine-spare-nine, giving Rose the final game 225-216. Three game totals: 693 for Mike Rose Jr., 679 for Alex Aguiar.
I got a couple of photos with both bowlers after the match…first, me with Mike Rose Jr. (I’m in the t-shirt…look familiar? 😀 )
And with Alex Aguiar…photo came out a bit dark, but fortunately, I could increase the brightness in my favorite photo editor. 🙂
Thanks to both Mike and Alex for putting on another good exhibition match at Westgate Lanes. 😀
Tommorow’s plan: As the meeting of the Mass Imperial Syndicate (my FanForce chapter, which is a Star Wars fan group) has been postponed until next Sunday, this frees me up to hit the lanes tomorrow to catch some of the action in the NEBA tournament. If I stay until the end, I should have results from that then, otherwise, I’ll wait until they’re posted on NEBA’s site.
