First game wasn't great, but I ran a few strikes together near the end.
Game 2 was my first scratch game in this league of 200+, 8 1, X, X, X, X, X, 8 /, 9 /, 8 /, 9 / 7.
Game 3 was rather lackluster, but still over my average.
Qualified in the #2 spot for the stepladder finals, so I had to wait around a bit.
Put together a clean front 6 and marked a couple more times. It was enough to get me to the finals where I had to face a very talented young player. I figured my only chance was to use my 30-pin advantage in handicap...but I ended up beating him scratch due to a 4-bagger starting in the 8th.
Great way to end the summer session. Used the Grudge Hybrid to start, then balled down to the Aura Mystic. Not the progression I envisioned...but until I change the surfaces...it works pretty good.
