New High

Tonight, it was all Evan. He (and his parents) were at the bowling alley watching most of the first two games.

Series: 746 Average: 248.7

It’s my new high series, and dammit it shoulda been better. 🙂 In the first two games I threw one bad ball each (the 8 counts), and the rest of the non-strikes were all ten pins in the pocket. Still, I’m absolutely thrilled with it, of course. I only won the sidepot for the last game. Someone beat me by 5 pins the second, and the first wasn’t close. My team swept all four points. The third game I finished with ten strikes in a row, and we won by 3 pins.

Going into the night, I knew I needed a 715 series to get my average for the season up to 200 in this league. It’s now 200.4. I can bring both Monday and Tuesday up to 200 with an 864 (4) and 617 series next time out.

Goodnight.
