As I noted in the BowlSK comment on the series, this was a nice first league game and set with my new Hy-Road. I knew if I could make good shots and find the pocket, the ball would likely carry, and that was borne out in the first game with a turkey in the middle (after a split) and the final 6 in a row for a 245. Some bad shots hurt me in the second game, but I was even happy with that game, as I got a couple of “messengers” (a “messenger” is when the head pin bounces off the side wall and heads for the 10 pin), even though those “messengers” missed; I hadn’t been getting those with the High Voltage, showing how strong the Hy-Road is.
Result: 245-162-211=618

This was another good night for the team, as well. The first game set up the night, as everyone was well over average, particularly Rob, who had a 235 himself; we won that game by better than 200 pins. Second game was a disappointment, but I helped carry my team (combined with the other team, who had a pre-bowl and a low-average absentee, not doing so well) to the third game win for 6 points on the night.
