HOT SPOT #1 - WEEK #20

Free Agents: 3 - It Could Happen: 1

We split with It Could Happen a couple of weeks ago in the position round. We bowled without Will that time. Will was back with us for the rematch and we won three of four.

The conditions were less than ideal because the cooling fan wasn't working for our lanes. This became a problem for some of us when Albany Bowl became hot and humid as the night wore on. But it was a problem for both teams so we can't say we suffered a disadvantage from it.

By winning three of four we improved our second half record to 7-1 which put us in second place.  Next week we take on No Ketchup on lucky lanes 13-14.

HOT SPOT #1 - WEEK #19

Free Agents: 4 - Happy Bowlers: 0

This was the nineteenth week of the season and the first week of the second half. The standings were reset to 0-0 and we got off to a good start with a 4-0 sweep of Happy Bowlers (Team #4). Dietrich set the pace by topping his previous high series. Sitting on 490 after two games, it looked like a 700 series might be attained but the 10-pin refused to cooperate in the final game.

Looking at our team performance, we were consistent with all three games a bit above our team average of 788. For the season thus far, we're reaching 200 in 41.7% of our games and 600 in 40.3% of our series. Next week we have a rematch with It Could Happen. We met them just last week in the first half position round.

HOT SPOT #1 - WEEK #18 (POSITION ROUND)



Free Agents: 2 - It Could Happen: 2

We ended the first half of the season with a position round. As the sixth place team, we were paired up with It Could Happen (Team 28) who were a point ahead of us in fifth place. Will was out of action so his average of 194 was used in his absence. The handicap was 78 pins to It Could Happen.

We started out well and won the first game by 50 pins. In the second game, everything fell apart. Our score of 666 was our lowest of the season by far. At the same time, It Could Happen put up their high game of the season. When you throw in the handicap, it amounted to a crushing defeat of 178 pins. We rebounded to a respectable score of 825 to win the third game but it was well short of what we needed to earn the point for total pins. Thus, the end result was a split and a first half record of 40-32.

A few lanes over, Unpredictable (Team 23) won the first half title which guaranteed them a minimum payout of $2,000.00 for the season. They will take on the winners of the second half for the league championship in May.

HOT SPOT #1 - WEEK #17

Free Agents: 2 - Team 35: 2

It was good to be back in action after two weeks off. Our opponents were Team 35 whom we spotted 93 pins. Both teams bowled well and the final outcome was a 2-2 series split. We lost the first and third games but our margin of victory in the second game was high enough to earn the point for total pinfall. Kimlang's 715 series was our first 700+ series of the season.

Next week we have a position round to end the first half of the season. We entered this week in seventh place with a record of 36-26. Our split leaves us at 38-28 which is well short of a shot at first place.
