Tapped to death

My brother and I had a bowling outing for the first time in months today. I went into the third game with a triplicate possibility after a pair of 213s (first one of the clean variety), but then I couldn’t stop leaving single pins and missed many of them for a 140 score. It should be said that if I bowl that kind of game Wednesday night in the Brunswick Mixed no-tap tournament, I should be in great shape. My brother, to his credit, had a 168 first game, which we believe to be his best ever.
