TUESDAY HOT SPOT #1 - WEEK #4

Free Agents: 1 - 5Ft Nothins: 3

We entered the fourth week of the season with a record of 6-6. Our opponents were 5Ft Nothins who held a record of 8-4. We spotted them a handicap of 47 pins per game.

5Ft Nothins started out hot and threw us a 74-pin beating in the first game. We nearly evened the series in the second game but 5Ft Nothins held on to win by 7 pins. To earn a split, we'd have to win the third game by 82 pins. We gave it a good shot by scoring our high game (and series) of the young season but it wasn't enough to earn a split. Our margin of victory was only 70 so the point for total pinfall went to 5Ft Nothins. We managed only one point for Week #4 and our record fell to 7-9.

The pivotal point of the night was Roger's second shot in the tenth frame of the second game. He was the last to bowl and his first shot of the tenth frame left a 10-pin. The nine count cut our lead to 809-808. If Roger failed to convert the 10-pin, the second game was ours. If he converted it and kept his bonus shot on the lane, the victory was theirs. Roger was clutch and picked up his 10-pin to earn the win for his team. That one shot demonstrated how thin the margin may be between a record of 3-1 and 1-3.
