My Week 13 bowling, frame-by-frame (BowlSK)
I spun a beauty, as they would say about a baseball pitcher, in my first game last night: I only scored a 215, but everything was either a strike or a 9-spare, and, indeed, because I got all strikes in the 10th frame, it would’ve been a 300 game if it had been 9-pin no-tap (where 9 pins on the first ball counts as a strike). My second game was better-scoring (a 222), but had a couple of opens, and I lost my line a little bit in the last game, but still got a 185 for a 622 set, my best one this summer.
Result: 215-222-185=622
Average (36 games): 181 Last 9 games average: 187
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 567
The bonus about last night was that I was bowling against my cousins’ team, and my team won 6 of the 8 points. We lost a close first game, won the second one by 130+, and white-knuckled a win in the last game. In said last game, my team was down by 2 with myself and Bob Fosdick, my cousins’ friend, coming up in the 10th frame, and we both left difficult spares, a 2-8 for myself, and the 5-6 (I believe) for Bob, which we both missed. The difference? I was working on a strike, while Bob was open in the 9th.
