My Week 8 bowling, frame-by-frame (Linked to BowlSK sheet)
This was a strange night (for another reason I’ll mention later, as well), as I wanted the game to be on the line earlier in games, since my clutch bowling turned out to be better than my other bowling. I ended up throwing the first strike in the 10th second game to win, and just got a bad break on a 7 pin ending the last game that would have tied the game had the 7 fallen. The other thing I’ll take out of the night is that I didn’t miss any of my four single pins (and I had two 10s on the night), but just left too much “garbage” most of the rest of the night.
Result: 165-143-149=457
Average (24 games): 162
Average for last 9 games: 163
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 492
Team won the first game more comfortably, so it ended up being a three point night for us.
The other strange part of the night is that a thunderstorm came through the area as the night was winding down, and I guess a lightning strike knocked out the power. The good thing was that my pair had finished bowling by the time the power went out.
I had my best night in brackets yet last week, beating Jo-Ann in two finals, Shawn in one, and Patrick Doten (one of the members of tonight’s opposing team) in a fourth bracket to get $20 back. I did so well I forgot to look to see who knocked me out of the fifth bracket.
