After a very solid month and then some in the Bill Mastronardi’s Masters league scores took a bit of a hit Monday night at Mt. Hawley.

 

Six of the 12 teams won over 30 points this week, with the closest match being between Potters Alley and T&D Windshield, with the difference being 14 pins.

 

Linn Lanes had another big week to stay at the top of the standings winning 38 of a possible 50 points from Pin Action Pro Shop.

 

Five other teams have won over 100 points as we head into the 5th week of the final third of the year, including Team of the Week, Mt. Hawley Bowl, led by Bowler of the Week and current average leader Tony DeVita with a 745 series, a bit lower than the last month or so.  

 

Mt. Hawley won 46 points last night to jump them to 5th place, they trail Linn by 38 points, but will have a chance to cut into that deficit as they bowl each other next week at the highest scoring house on the schedule Potters Alley. 

 

The league only had six bowlers who could muster 700 or above, it has been the common theme this year when we have made the trip to Mt. Hawley this season.

 

Maybe that is why Bill Maher said bowling should not be considered a sport before practice started.

 

The Strikeout pot was broken three weeks ago, so it has started over and currently sits at 180 dollars.

WEEKLY STATISTICS

 

As I noted above, the overall average took a hit this week. Before the night started it was 218.30, but after 29 people bowled under that number it decreased to 217.93.

 

The overall average on the night was only 213.30. The pins above/below average was -4.56 a very gross number.

 

Scores will once again rebound next week though as we return to Potters Alley.

​

​No honors scores were bowled on Monday, so the league still has 12 300s on the year, and 7 800s.
