We lost the night 2.5-1.5, but what made the night fun was my being able to stay with Eric, if not actually beating him (I’m not sure what he ended up with in the last game, but I should find out in the next couple of days). The three makeable spares I missed weren’t fun, but I still shot in the 620s, and, except for the first game, every game came right down to me and Eric. I actually screwed up in the 10th of the second game, one of the few times I haven’t been clutch in the 10th when my team needed me, but my team still ended up winning that point. To turn the tables a bit in the last game, I struck out in the 10th to force Eric into a strike to win situation on his last ball; Eric left a ringing 10, so that’s how we got the half-point each.
