ASB1So last week we took only one game, even though I had my best game and series since week one when I set the unattainable since bench mark performance. That first week I bowled a 525 series with a high game 1 of 179. Incredibly, the next week I had my worst series and lowest game. Game one 99, series 388. Since then I have been up and down, so when I stepped up in week ten and bowled a 500 even I was happy, the team didn't do as well and like I said we only took one game. It didn't help that we were bowling the #1 team in the league that week. Jump ahead one week and what happens? We are bowling the #2 team in the league, and we have slid back to last place (18th). Game one, only anchor man Tom Pruitt achieves. Rich and I are under our averages. Team Blust takes game one by 50 pins. Game two I better my numbers by 6 pins and am still 6 pins below my average, Tom drops below his average by two pins and Rich is possessed! Rich bowls a 9/ to start then 5 strikes and another 9/, but the time the dust settles we have won the second game by 68 pins, are up in series by 19 and Rich has knocked a big 222 hole in his stats. Along comes game three, Tom and I both pick it back up and do well,
ASB2
I bowl my highest game of the entire league, a 186, Tom beat me with a 188, 15 over his average and Rich drops a 137 bomb. Still we were able to win game three by 22 pins and take two and series. I won't know until next Tuesday if we moved out of the basement spot or not. The team ahead of us was only 1 point out of a tie for last going in. Next week is the last week before the final week and position round, we must prevail at all cost, or drink bowl and have a decent time. Hmmm.
