Sunday Night Established Mixed League
Week 16
After a decent night Wednesday, I was hoping for another strong outing. That didn't happen.
478 Series: 139-168-178
Pocket hit after pocket hit. Left 4 10-pins and a 7-pin. And, per my usual "headcaseness"...once I missed one...it was all over but the cryin. Switched from the Trident Odyssey to the Scorpion Sting (SS) in the 6th...thinking maybe moving outside with a weaker ball might help the carry...but, NOPE.
9 /, 9 -, S8 1, 9 -, S7 1, 9 /, 9 -, X, X, 9 -.
Stuck with the SS through 4. Thought maybe it would work given I had 4 strikes on 5 shots (8th, 9th, 1st, 2nd)...but I also left two 10-pins and a stone 9-pin through the 4th. Got desperate and balled down to the Rhino Gold...but that ball was doing the same thing. I struck a couple times, but then left a 2-10 on what should have been a strike. So, out comes the Force Pearl (FP) in the 9th to see if I could salvage 'something'.
X, X, 9 -, 9 -, S8 1, X, X, S8 1, 7 /, 9 /8.
Started picking up some spares, but couldn't overcome whatever was going wrong that night.
X, S8 -, X, 8 -, 7 /, X, 8 /, 9 /, 9 /, 7 /X.

Positives
- IF I had picked up my spares, a 180 wouldn't have been a bad score given the struggles I was having with he shot.
- Team took 3 out of 4...carrying me and with our team getting a whopping 227 pins of handicap.
Negatives
- Spare shooting was once again HORRID.
I just gotta practice my corner-pins. Whether it cripples me or not....the rest of the season isn't going to be worth bowling if I'm this much of an embarrassment converting simple spares.
