​The Bill Mastronardi’s Masters league kicked off the last third of the league Monday evening and it was a monster night in Canton at Linn Lanes.

 

With the last third of the league underway, the night started with 24 strikes in a row from Travis Anderson who was able to shot back-to-back 300s, making him this week’s bowler of the week with a nice 845 set.

 

It is the third highest thus far this season, only behind the two 800s that were thrown a week ago at Sunset by Tony DeVita and Bill Maher.

 

Not only did the night start out with a bang, it also ended with one as well. After 22 straight weeks, the strikeout pot was finally broken by the Team of the Week, Mt. Hawley in game 3.

 

It reached $1,320 dollars, meaning Tony DeVita, Kyle Andes, Brad Moore all got $330 apiece. Dave Mcvey subbed for Matt Liening on Monday who was the other bowler to throw all three strikes in the 10th to break the pot.

 

Mt. Hawley finished the night with a team series of 2900, but could only win a total of 27 points as they bowled the second highest team from Monday night, Potters Alley who posted 2881.

 

It was a different story for the teams to the left of them, though. Plaza Lanes won 34 total points, good for second place after the first week of the last third. They were the second lowest team Monday night, but bowled the lowest, Landmark.

 

Pin Action Pro Shop led by Jason Jones (B) who shot 773 is the team at the top to start the last third, they won 38 points against T&D Windshield.

The league average on the night was 229.46, the highest of the season thus far.

 

Before the night started, the league average was 218.00, but after 37 of the 48 bowlers raised their average, it grew to 218.57.

 

After a rather slow start for the league in general, things have started to pick up a little bit.

​With the addition of the two 300s bowled by Travis, the total for the league now sits at 12 for the season, and his 845 was good for the 7th of the year.
