After winning one point from “The Doables”, “Turkey Hunters” are now tied for 8th place with “The 508 Boys”, 4 1/2 points behind “Knock Em Down”, who lead “Bowling Stones” and “Striking Gentlemen” by a half point and “Ebony and Ivories” by a point and a half. “Anger Management” will be our opposition tomorrow night.

“Pin Seeking Missiles” won four of seven points from “Wrecking Balls” and increased the lead to two points, with second being held down by “Triple x-X-x” and “Probable Cause” in third, four points behind.

After winning three of four from “Bowl Pack”, “Turkey Hunters” are now tied for 7th with “The Doables” (who we bowl against tomorrow night), four points behind “Striking Gentlemen”, who lead “The Incredibowls” by two points and “Knock em Down” by two and a half points.

Individually, I had the high scratch game and series in my average class last week, as well as the high handicap scores.

“Pin Seeking Missiles” won all seven from the vacant “bye” team to take a one-point lead over “8 Ain’t Enough” and two points over “Probable Cause”.

Individually, “Chuck”, a member of “8 Ain’t Enough”, submitted his third 300 game for the virtual league and is now the all-time leader.

Finally broke the deuce ice for the season tonight, but don’t ask me what happened in the second game.

Result: 201-137-183=521

Average for last 9 games: 164
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 498

My team got the better of a 3-1 split of the points. This was the first night of the five so far in which both Barry and I were over 500 for the night.

Quick night, as both teams had two vacancies, and a bowler was absent on the other team. There are still bowlers on the lanes in all three leagues (I’m guessing at the deaf league) as I post this.

After winning all four points from Team 16 last week, “Turkey Hunters” moved into a tie with them and “Bowl Pack” (who we bowl against tonight) for 7th place, three points behind “Striking Gentlemen”, who are a point ahead of “Bowling Stones” and “Ebony and Ivories”.

Individually, Barry had the second high handicap series for the men last week.

“Pin Seeking Missiles” won five of seven (2nd & 3rd games, and total) from “Triple x-X-x”, and moved back up to 4th place, three points behind the leading “The Whole 9 Yards”, who are now a half point ahead of “Wrecking Balls” and one ahead of “Probable Cause”.

The league saw its first individual honor score of the season in “sk8shorty01’s” 290 game.

By all rights, I should have gotten out of there with a 500 tonight, but three straight easy spare misses in the third game cost me that.

Result: 155-178-144=477
Average (12 games): 159
Average for last 9 games: 165
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 485

Barry had the best night on the pair tonight (570), and was the biggest reason my team won all four. He told me he couldn’t remember his last 200 game in Taunton (2nd game tonight was a 210).

After failing to win points from “We Split 4 No 1”, “Turkey Hunters” stand in a six-way tie for 10th, five points behind the leading “Lickety Splits”, who are a point ahead of “Ebony and Ivories” and Team 16 (our opponents Wednesday night), and two points ahead of “We Split 4 No 1”, “Striking Gentlemen”, and “Bowling Stones”.

“Pin Seeking Missiles” ended up winning only the first game from “The Whole 9 Yards” and now stand in a tie for 6th with Team 7, four points behind “8 Ain’t Enough”, who lead “Wrecking Balls” by a point and by two over “Probable Cause”.

Speaking of two of those leading teams, “Probable Cause” (Team members “bigcall”, “General Pounder”, “ijohn83”, and “vdubtx”) had a top 3 all-time game (972) and series (2672), and “8 Ain’t Enough” (Team members “Chuck”, “Mikestormbowler91”, “VampyreBowler”, and “Vic44”) also settled into 3rd all-time game (the aforementioned game by “Probable Cause” was 2nd all-time).

The second game was my undoing tonight, as it became a “strike or nothing” game with a whole lot of nothing between the strikes. I didn’t help myself missing consecutive 7 pins on the same lane in that game, however.

Result: 172-141-171=484
Average (9 games): 159
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 482

The other team got a solid night from their anchor, who I want to say was clean until the very last frame, and won all four.

After winning three of four from “Sweet Rolls”, “Turkey Hunters” are tied for 6th with “Oddballs”, two points behind the leading teams, “Lickety Splits”, “Ebony and Ivories”, and Team 16. Our opponents tomorrow night will be “We Split 4 No 1”.

“Pin Seeking Missiles” won four of the seven points from Team 1 last week. Team 8 nearly swept Team 7, with both teams splitting the points for second game, so we stand two behind Team 8 in 4th, with “DJSW” and “Probable Cause” tied for second, a point behind the lead.
