One of the bowlers involved alerted me last night that his team, Team 17, with a lineup of Mark Zimmerman, Jon Hester, and Rob Young, shot a 2,257 team series last week in the Patriots league, which is over the USBC reporting threshold. Here are the line scores, for the record:
Zimmerman: 223-226-278=727
Hester: 278-242-248-768
Young: 258-290-214=762
Nice bowling guys! 🙂
Before I get started about last night’s league play, I had a practice session with Stephen Major watching, and not only did he give me something to work on, he assessed my arsenal and suggested I start with the Hy-Road. Finishing a second line, I had something like the last six.
My Week 28 bowling, frame-by-frame
The second game is not one I’ll blame on poor spare shooting, but rather missing a ball change, because the Hy-Road was not moving at all, but the Tropical Breeze held me in good stead the rest of the night. Indeed, it was my second-best third game of the season.
Result: 174-133-207=514
Average (78 games): 169
Average for last 9 games: 166
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 534
Composite average (84 games): 171
We were missing both Si and Eric, but won the third game by enough to steal total.
Afterward, I mentioned to Stephen that I had an Alpha Crux at home; he said to bring it over.
After failing to win points from Great Balls of Fire, Let’s MixEm Up is in a tie for 12th with Striking Gentlemen, 11 points behind Last Empire, who lead three teams (Sweet Rolls, Stacked, and Creeden’s Mustangs) by two points. Spare Us are tonight’s opposition.
The Bristol-Plymouth Bowling Association has made results of their first championship tournament official. I will use what the association posted on Facebook here:
Again, thank you to all of the participants and congratulations to those who cashed.
The results of today’s Adult/Junior doubles tournament. There were five entries in the Senior division and nine in a combined Junior/Prep division.
Senior
Junior/Prep
Congrats to today’s winners. 🙂
Congrats to Ralph Dahlgren, who had the 277 in Strike F/X’s 857 game last week, for a 300 last night. Sean Richard’s video is below:
I’ve written plenty about the Pepsi league’s Hy Bao and his successes in tournaments, but never for a score, and it was a notable one for him: His first 300 last night in Malden. Congrats! 🙂
My Week 27 bowling, frame-by-frame
Multi-pin spares, particularly splits and washouts, doomed this night, with the prime example being the back-to-back 4-5-7s, which told me I could no longer swing it. I missed two single pins, but neither was a 10.
Result: 169-138-166=473
Average (75 games): 169
Average for last 9 games: 163
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 538
Composite average (81 games): 171
Eric couldn’t make it (car trouble) and Si missed the first game; team won no points.
The Strike F/X Patriots league team put up an impressive game in their first game last week, with Ralph Dahlgren’s 277 bookended by 290s by John Camara and Alex Aguiar for an 857 game, which would be a pin shy of high trios game in the nation at press time. They finished out with a 2,314 series, also a reportable series. The performance was big enough to make a 300 game by Danny Khuu an afterthought.
Good bowling guys! 🙂
I’m sure most of us who watch bowling on TV know that Kegel’s Specto Bowling has been used extensively on FOX’s coverage of the PBA Tour. I did find out yesterday that Specto is available as a mobile app. I’ve linked the Android app on the web Google Play, but iPhone users shouldn’t worry: The iOS version of the app is on iTunes.
After winning four points from Striking Gentlemen, Let’s MixEm Up is in a four-way tie for 10th with Party of Six, Spare Us, and Great Balls of Fire, the last team which will be our position round opponents tomorrow night. The tie is eight points behind a tie for the lead between Last Empire and Sweet Rolls, with Stacked and Creeden’s Mustangs tied for third, a point behind the lead.
Eric had the high scratch and handicap game in men’s “A”, and Si swept the board in men’s “E”.
Jeff Richgels helped point me to the Sweep the Rack podcast, which is now in the podcast links list in the sidebar. If a well-known bowling writer likes a podcast, you know it’s worth a link here. 🙂
Shout-out to Chris Hanson, who, subbing for the Spicy Nutz Pepsi league team, put up a 290 game last night. I hope you’ll become a regular member of the league next season.
I wasn’t sure I could share the recap screen photo, but Donald Graves posted on Facebook that he had just his 2nd 300 game last night in the Rhythm & Bowling league. Congrats! 🙂
As the Northeast Amateur Tournament posted in their newsletter, Mike Peirce won last Saturday’s NAT singles event at Westgate Lanes, defeating Hy Bao, 279-237 (with handicap), in the final match.
Good bowling, guys! 🙂
