“Diamond Flush” won just the third game against “Presto,” but by enough to eek out a win on total pins, for three points on the week (This was better than we did against them in Week 1, where we failed to win a point). We now sit in 9th place, 20 points behind “Ordinary Average Guys” but 6 points ahead of “Kingpins” in the cellar. “Ordinary Average Guys” lead “Got Wood?” by 7 points.
Last week was one of the highest scoring that I could remember, as there were two honor games (a 300 by “Joe Bowler” and a 296 by “Lumpytire”), 4 279 games, and 2 other games in the 270s. “Lumpytire,” in fact, had one of the 279 games, as well, and only missed having the 5th 800 series in league history by a pin. The scoring frenzy prompted me to look for a report in Perfect Secretary that gave league-wide average information: The league-wide average this season has been 201.08, and last week’s average across the league was 205.23, more than four full pins higher.
