    Soooo...how did they score that? Was the pinsetter even able to pick it up? Was it in the same spot when it landed that it was originally?

    See...I ALWAYS watch all the pins fall down before turning around and walking back because no matter how unlikely...in the back of my mind I'm always worried something like that would happen.

    What was his expression after he realized it was still standing? And what the hell country is Lietuvu??

    That was the head pin, that bounced off the 4 pin, and appeared to stand near the 8 pin spot.

    In team bowling, the pace is fast enough, that you can't tell if this is practice, or competition.

    Appears to be in actual competition, if you look at the score machines they are active and scoring more than just strikes.

    Some of the newer pinsetters will pick up and place in same spot, even when out of range.

    Lietuvu is likely Latvia. Just like USA doesn't put their team name in Chinese, the Latvians put their name on the jersey in their native language.

    I seriously had something similar happen today to me. Hammered the ball into the pocket and had the 7 pin bounce back in between where the 7 and 8 normally would be.

    That almost looks photoshopped to me. In any case, if it's real it's a huge fluke.
