Started out a little slow, mainly carry issues. But finished strong for another good set.
1st game - Thought it was going to be one of those nights. Wanted to be playing 9-pin no-tap. Left single pins each of the first 4 frames, and missed a 10 pin. Got a couple breaks and strung 3 in a row after that, then threw a bad shot and left a 2-10 split. Finally realized that the one lane was a tiny bit tighter and made an adjustment to get me in the pocket on both lanes. Threw the last 4 to salvage a 213.
2nd game - Missed another 10 pin in the first frame. Still not great carry, but managed enough strikes to pull out a 225. Think I missed the pocket once this game.
3rd game - Figured I'd move a little and hope to carry better. Knew I needed a 260+ game to keep my mini-700 streak alive (3 in a row in this league). Didn't miss the pocket all game, got tapped twice, 3rd frame 10 pin (converted, yay!) then strung into the 10th. Left another 10 pin on 12th ball, but had locked up the 700 by then so wasn't too worried about it. That is until later when I found out that the 10 cost me $25 from our card game. Dangit!!
213 225 278 - 716
We won 3, first time in what seems like 2 months. I'll remain at 223, but with another good week could sniff 224, crazy.










Nice series.
