WEEK #32 RESULTS

ELM Trio 5 - Mile High Club 2
Shades of week #1 -- we were back on lanes 1-2 to take on Strike Or Bust. It went better for us this time. We won the first two games and the extra point for total pinfall for a 5-2 night. We boosted our second half record to 69-36 and moved into second place, one game behind Team 15.

Next week we have Mile High Club on the schedule. We will have to take care of our own business and hope for some help from Honey & The Flaming Bees who will face Team 15. With a little luck, we'll be in first or second place for the position round in week #34.

WEEK #31 RESULTS

ELM Trio 5 - Ricky's Sports 2
Our sweep of Kalifornia Roll last week moved us from fourth place to a tie for second place with Let It Roll. We remained four points behind Team 15 who held onto first place with a sweep of their own. Movin On Up moved on up to fourth place.

For Week #31 we matched up with Ricky's Sports who were in sixth place. We struggled in the first game and lost by 41 pins (475-516). Only Eli carried his average. Eli found his next gear in the second game and it was enough to carry us to a win by a mere 7 pins (497-490). The rest of us came to life for the finale and we won the rubber game of the series by 83 pins (580-497). This was enough to earn us the point for total pinfall (1552-1503) and a score of 5-2 for the night. Our second-half record improved to 64-34.

On our way out, Will of Movin On Up informed us that Team 12 swept Team 15.  That dropped Team 15's record to 63-35 and put them a game behind us. It's possible we're now in first place. It depends on the how Movin On Up and Let It Roll bowled. If Let It Roll swept Thermy Trio, they now have sole possession of first place. If they went 5-2, we are tied with them. Anything less than that and they fell behind us. If Movin On Up swept Kalifornia Roll, they're a game ahead of us. Anything less than a sweep and they remain behind us.

WEEK #30 RESULTS

ELM Trio 7 - Kalifornia Roll 0
We enjoyed another good week, averaging 183 as a team. The result was a sweep as we continued our push toward the top of the standings.

We entered the night in fourth place with a second-half record of 52-32. Team 15 was setting the pace at 56-28 and taking on the Thermy Trio. With our sweep, our record improved to 59-32. If Bob Seright's crew had one of their hot nights, it's possible we caught Team 15. Let It Roll (54-28) and Team 12 (53.5-28.5) opposed each other tonight so the odds are we passed at least one of them.

WEEK #29 RESULTS

ELM Trio 5 - Guzzlers 2
We took on The Guzzlers and though we scored higher than we did the previous two weeks, we weren't able to pull off another sweep. We won the first two games rather handily but the Guzzlers got hot at the end and took the third game. We earned the point for total pinfall and a record of 5-2 for the evening.
 
Our second half record improved to 52-32 which should help us in the standings. The first and second place teams played each other but I wasn't able to learn the outcome before I left. I hope they split with the second place team having the 4-3 edge. That would allow us to gain two points on the leader and one point on the second place team.

WEEK #28 RESULTS

ELM Trio 7 - Honey & The Flaming Bees 0
Eli's hot hand carried us to a sweep which improved our second half record to 47-30. We're creeping back up toward the top of the standings as the season winds down to its conclusion.

We have five weeks left to catch up. There will be a position round in Week #34 on May 10th. Our sweeper will be on May 17th. The winner of the first half (us) will bowl the winner of the second half to determine the league championship. Naturally, our aim is to win the second half as well so we can coast on sweeper night.
