Coming off a mediocre week 8, SoaL needed a good week to not only lift the team’s spirit but to keep them in the hunt for the five. Starting week nine, SoaL is sitting comfortably at seventh place and would be taking on the Rockets, who are sitting pretty low in the standings although have the men’s high averaged bowler.

Game one went pretty well and everybody bowled above their average. Except for me, coming up eleven pins short. Jen bowled well surpassing her average by 20 pins and Bob was six over, both earning one point. Andrew rolled his highest game of the season with a 210, picking up two points towards the bet. SoaL wins game one.

Game two went just as well for the team, again, with the exception of me. Frustrated after game one and struggling to find a consistent shot, I again came up short rolling a 180. Jen continues to ride her groove shooting a 146 and picking up another point. Bob again bowled well with a 179 also picking up another point. Andrew continued to torch the pins, whether it was in the pocket or carrying Brooklyn, and shot a 215 – breaking his season high that was set in the previous game while picking up two more points for the bet. SoaL wins game two soundly.

Game three wasn’t as great as the previous two but still good overall. Jen would come up short this game rolling a 127 as would Bob with a 157. Andrew slacked off a bit from the first two games but still shot well, hitting a 181. I finally found my stride and rebounded for a 223 and SoaL would win game 3 and snatched all seven points for the week.

Andrew’s impressive bowling earned him his first ever 600 series and a nice little patch. Andrew earned 5 points for the bet, the first five point week for any member on SoaL. Bob, Jen, and I would each earn two points. The bet is still fairly close and nobody is out of it yet. Bob still leads with 16 points. Andrew caught up with me as we are tied at 13 points, 3 from the leader. Jen is now at ten points and swears to bounce back to earn her girly afternoon tea. There are 6 or 7 weeks remaining in the half, which means that every bowler has 36 or 39 points available to earn. It is far from over.
