WEEK 5 RESULTS

3 wins, 1 loss

I've been battling a cold since the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday so when I haven't been working or bowling, I've been sleeping. Thus, the blog has been neglected since the second week of the season. I'm trying now to get everything caught up. I have the stats for the past three weeks posted today.

This week we had a real battle on our hands with Team 6 (yet unnamed). It was a lot tighter match than the final outcome would indicate. We won the first game by 47 pins but Team 6 got hot in the second game (powered by Chris Owens's 240) and bombed us by 81. Each team had a win but we were town 34 pins.

For the rubber game of the match, a loss would give Team 6 a 3-1 edge while winning the third game by less than 34 pins would leave us with a 2-2 split. Fort the third game, we were the ones who came out hot as we put up our second best score of the season. We won the final game by 51 pins to claim a 3-1 record for the night. We should consider ourselves fortunate because it easily could have gone the other way.

By winning three of four, we held onto to our ever-so-slim lead of half a point over Don't Matter (Team 7).

In the fourth week of league play, we drew the vacant team on the schedule. This required that we bowl no lower than 39 pins below our team average to earn a win. We managed to do this in the the first and third games but a stinker in the second game cost us a point. Our record for the night was 3-1.
