Sunday Night Established Mixed League
Week 33 (position week)
Came into the night tied for 3rd. No shot at 1st...but we'd at least end up in 6th. Not bad for a team with the 13th (of 16 teams) most scratch pins.
617 Series: 200-216-201
Trident Odyssey was mowing em down early. Some of the better shots I've thrown and a couple where the line held despite a little push or pull. Then, the lanes seemed to just 'change'. I slammed the pocket and left a 4-pin. Made a slight adjustment left, missed right on the next shot and left a bucket. Slammed the pocket and left another 4-pin. And another 4-pin in the 8th frame. Thought I had moved left enough, but went through the nose in the 10th and then chopped a 10-pin off a 6-10.
X, X, X, X, 9 /, 6 2, 9 /, 9 /, X, 8 1.
After ANOTHER bucket in the 1st, took out the Scorpion Sting for the rest of Game 2 and moved a bit right. My only real "bad" shot was a severely pulled shot in the 3rd frame. Line was working...right up till the 10th when the line broke down and I went through the nose (again!). The only difference between Game 1 and Game 2 is I converted the 4-7 rather than open. But, not a "big whoop" given my only open was a barely missed 4-pin in the ninth.
6 /, X, 7 /, 9 /, X, X, X, X, 9 -, 8 /X.
Took out the Outer Limits Pearl for Game 3. Moved a bit right...ended up not really needing to. Had to work with my speed and vertical targeting a little to get the shot to work...which I didn't really get all worked out until the 9th.
X, 9 -, X, X, X, S8 -, X, 9 /, X, X 9 /.

Positives
- 600+ is almost always a good night.
- Felt good. Had a couple minor issues of pain in the groin and ankle...but generally I 'felt' top notch.
- Only 1-3 "bad" shots the whole night...around the pocket all night.
- Took 3 from the same team we lost 3 from last week.
Negatives
- Not ONE clean game.
All in all, we 'should' now be in lone posession of 3rd place. The team we played will likely fall to 5th. No bowling next Sunday, just awards stuff. So, I won't bowl league against until the summer league gets going on May 1st.
