| Blockheads: 3 - Alley Cats: 1 |
We entered the night in a four-way tie for fourth place with a record of 6-2. Our opponents were the Alley Cats with a record of 4-4 who had to spot us 23 pins in handicap. Olivia was out of action again so we used her average of 137 in her absence.
We got off to a good start and won the first game by a score of 691-631. We stumbed a bit in the second game which coincided with Cecil rolling a 257 for the Alley Cats. The outcome was a 646-700 loss. After two games we were 1-1 and separated by a mere six pins.
In the third game, we had a couple of tough frames early as we adapted to the changing lane conditions. However, we made our adjustments to hit some solid strikes and pick up some tough spares when we really needed them. It appeared the Alley Cats weren't able to adapt to the changing conditions and threy grew frustrated as the game wore on. We won the final game 678-534 which also netted us the point for total pins and a 3-1 record for the night.

LEAGUE STAT SHEET
Most Hated put up some high scores in the early weeks of the season so their averages shot upward. (Pierre Gray's book average is 173 but his current average is 181. Sharon Gray's book average is 156 but her current average is 178.) If I did the math right, it looks like they'll be spotting us 37 pins per game instead of the 17 I estimated from their book averages.
ReplyDeleteAlso, we stand alone in third place after three weeks. Most Hated is at the top with a record of 11-1, followed by Team 26 at 10-2, then us at 9-3.
