The momentum I thought I had off of my 257 game last week pretty much continued this week, and I ended up having my best set of the season, a 646. Did I bowl my best all the time tonight? Not really, as the first-ball gutter in the middle of the second game attests to, but I had three solid games for a change, and, if not for 20 more pins in the first game, I would’ve had a nice 222 triplicate. Indeed, I only had 3 really bad frames tonight, so I’m hoping for more of this and better in the coming weeks.
Result: 202-222-222=646
Average (72 games): 180 Last 9 games average: 196
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 548
My performance tonight was a big part of a team win. My teammates failed to support me in the first game, and we got shellacked. As I told my team at the end of the night, however, in my mind, I was not giving up, and they showed me they weren’t giving up, as well, as we turned the tables in the other two games to take total after a first-game loss by 100+. I’ll give special mention to Ted here; he’s far from the best bowler in the league, but he had things cooking in the last two games and ended up well over his average on the night.
