Updating my league standings:

• Brunswick Mixed: After winning a point from Dawg Pound, Let’s Mix Em Up is in a tie for 13th with 5 Spares, eight points behind Spare Change, who are a point ahead of Creeden’s Mustangs, two ahead of Minds in the Gutter, and four ahead of Stuck With Us, Dawg Pound, and Ebony & Ivories. Last Empire will be tomorrow night’s opponents.
• Sunday Niters: After winning six points from Ten Is Enough, The Three Stooges are tied for 3rd with Broads with Balls, four points behind a tie for first between Here for the Beer and Ten Is Enough. Ball Busterz are the opposition Sunday night. My 259 game and 672 series received high score mention on the standing sheet.

My Week 20 bowling, frame-by-frame

Back-to-back missed 7 pins cost me my high series of the season, but I feel the good swing I had earlier in the season has returned, so I’m hoping for more of the same in the near future.

Result: 180-259-233=672
Average (60 games): 183
Average for last 9 games: 190
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 566

Composite average (126 games): 182

Team crushed second and third games after losing the first game by 2 pins. We were expecting Harry to sub for Peter, but Harry was with his son at NEBA at East Providence Lanes, so we had to take Peter’s blind score.

My Week 23 bowling, frame-by-frame

Another reasonable night, with the last game only getting away from me because of bad ball reaction at the end of it. My 4 pin (two misses) prevented me from being perfect on single pins.

Result: 200-188-168=556
Average (66 games): 181
Average for last 9 games: 191
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 592

Composite average (123 games): 181

Si (479) was the only one of us with all three games over average; his 185 combined with Tom’s 198 third game helped us win our only point. Opposing anchor bowler shot 763.

Only updating Brunswick Mixed this week, as Sunday Niters had the week off:

• Brunswick Mixed: After winning one point from Ebony & Ivories, Let’s Mix Em Up is in a tie for 9th place with four teams, six points behind Minds in the Gutter, who are a point ahead of three teams tied for 2nd, and three points ahead of Last Empire in 5th place. Dawg Pound provides the opposition tomorrow night.

My Week 22 bowling, frame-by-frame

Steady night tonight, with my second game being more or less saved by punching out in the 10th. I did miss a 10 in the second game, but made two others later, with no other single-pin misses.

Result: 201-173-198=572
Average (63 games): 181
Average for last 9 games: 191
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 602

Composite average (120 games): 181

Team was leading total after two, but lost total in the third game, and it was more a case of opponents getting hot, as Si had a 174 in that game.

The usual standings update, after Week 21:

• Brunswick Mixed: After winning three points from Stuck With Us, Let’s Mix Em Up is tied for 9th with that team and Lost & Found, five points behind Minds in the Gutter, who are two points ahead of Ebony & Ivories (tomorrow night’s opponents) and Spare Change, and three points ahead of Last Empire, Creeden’s Mustangs, and Dawg Pound. I had the high handicap game of the week (260) in the men’s “B” division.
• Sunday Niters: After winning two points from Broads With Balls, The Three Stooges are in 3rd, eight points behind Ten Is Enough, who lead Here for the Beer by two points, with Broads With Balls 4th, ten points behind the lead. The league is not bowling Sunday (Super Bowl Sunday), and we bowl against the leaders, Ten Is Enough, when we return. My 220 game was worthy of high score mention on the standing sheet.

My Week 19 bowling, frame-by-frame

Things were going fine until I lost my carry in the third game and my spare game went with it. I only did enough to just get average.

Result: 185-220-138=543
Average (57 games): 181
Average for last 9 games: 176
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 566

Composite average (117 games): 181

We had command of total after two games (splitting the games), but then lost the third by enough to lose total by one pin.
