FRIDAY NIGHT TRIOS - WEEK #29

ELM Trio: 0 - Team Thermo: 7

When we met on November 1st, Bob Seright had a highly uncharacteristic off night. I shot a 705 series as we earned a sweep. In our rematch last night, I failed to reach 500 while Bob scored 704 and Team Thermo did the sweeping.

We're buried in last place but Eli still had a good night with three 200+ games and a 625 series.

FRIDAY NIGHT TRIOS - WEEK #28

ELM Trio: 2 - Les Beauzolais: 5

Les Beauzolais were on the schedule this week. We started flat and got hammered in the first game. In the second game we picked ourselves up and had one of our best scores in two months to even the series. However, we fell flat again in the third game at the same time Deanna caught fire and shot 204. That combo cost us the third game and the point for total pinfall. Our record fell to 22-48 which put us in last place.

FRIDAY NIGHT TRIOS - WEEK #27

ELM Trio: 2 - Up & Coming: 5

This week we were on lanes 1-2 with Up & Coming. We had our chances to win the first game but fell apart at the end to lose by 11 pins. The second game was a disaster but we pulled out the third game to avoid a sweep. Not that it matters in the grand scheme of the season as we fell out of contention a few weeks ago.

FRIDAY NIGHT TRIOS - WEEK #26

ELM Trio: 2 - Cleo's Trio: 5

Our struggles continued and we took another 2-5 beating at the hands of Cleo's Trio. We avoided a sweep by pulling out the final game by 15 pins.

Our record stands at 20-36. If we can't string together some sweeps real soon, our chances of returning to contention will be close to nil. 

We'll be on lanes 1-2 with Up & Coming next week. It looks like we'll be spotting them about 30 pins per game.

FRIDAY NIGHT TRIOS - WEEK #25

ELM Trio: 5 - VACANT: 2

We had the vacant team on our schedule this week. The league rules require that we score better than 45 pins below our average to earn a win against a vacant team. With the sum of our averages being 535, a score of 490 would earn a tie and 491 or better would be needed to earn a win.

We did well enough to win the first two games games but we fell off a cliff in the third and took a loss. It's a good thing the league rules don't provide that we bowl against three vacant bowlers' scores with a handicap or we would have earned only one win and a tie for a 3-4 score. As it was, we won two games plus the point for total pinfall. 

Ordinarily, coming out 5-2 would be satisfactory but when it's against a phantom team and all we had to do is average 164 to earn a win, it has to be considered a flop. Our record improved to 19-30 but we're still way off the pace.
