Kegler's Corner: Last week’s league results

This marks Orchard Lanes 63rd anniversary where good friends meet and greet every week in league to socialize, compete and have fun rolling their bowling balls 60 feet down the lanes into 10 formidable pins, each weighing 3 pounds, 6 ounces. It’s always quite a challenge to knock all of those pins over at once to get strikes and it’s even more difficult this season because the pins are brand new.

Monday Night Industrial league:

The Rollers (Sandy Harris, Paul Dethman and Kevin Harris) moved into first place with 35 points after knocking off the previous leaders, MTS, 17-8 in their head-to-head match last week. MTS is now in second with 31 points and Ol’7-10 is in third with 30 points.

Here are the results from the other matches last week:

OL’7-10 trounced Triple T’s 23-2 as Lynn Spellman put his usual spell on the sticks with a big 246 game for OL’7-10; Mt. Hood BBQ smoked The Crew 21-4; Decavo dismantled Hood River Supply 20-5; Orchard Lanes toppled Clear Cutters 18-7 as Carl Casey popped 205 and 203 games with his favorite Roto Grip M+M Hustle pearl ball and his teammate, all-star Nancy Asai’s deadly down and in slants turned the pins into sawdust as she punched out a nifty 228 game for the Lanes trio; and Pat’s Pro Shop drilled Randy’s Painting 16-9 as the Shop’s namesake and Orchard Lanes proprietor Patrick Olson beat up the new pins to the tune of a 702 series which is the first seven hundred three game set in the infancy of this new season.

Wednesday afternoon senior Colts & Fillies league:

Awesome 3 (Erma Hickman, Frani Thompson and Gerry Cope) maintained their first place standing with 11 wins. Pins in Low Places is in second with nine wins.

Here are the results from last week’s matches:

Pins in Low Places swept Gutter Done 4-0 despite Rod Pratt’s 205 game for the gutter crew; Rolling Pins blanked Rice Krispies 4-0 even though Lynn Spellman rolled a fine 212 game for the snap, crackle and poppers; We Tried beat Cousins 4-0; Awesome 3 beat the absent team 3-1; and Jessie’s Team thumped Skamaniacs 3-1 behind Mick Sherrell’s cool 211 game. 

Wednesday night Fraternal league:

Get Hu’sum BBQ (Coby Henning, Jason Borton and chef Stan Pratnicki) vaulted into first place with 51 points. Hood River Athletic Club is now in second with 48 points.

Here are the results from last week’s matches:

The Bowling Stones showed no mercy against the daftly named Tres Psicos squad, drubbing them in a near sweep 24.5-.5, as the Stones all-star anchorman Chad Mason’s speedy, hard charging hook pounded the pocket for a fine 659 series that was capped by a 243 game; Bloom Auto Body simply overwhelmed the tough Orchard Lanes crew 22-3, as finesse stylists Mark Chabotte and all-star Jeremy Bloom got hot for the Auto Body threesome.

Mark stroked a nifty 655 set that was capped by a big-time 268 game and the staccato stepping Mr. Bloom added a big 256 game to the fray; Get Hu’sum BBQ beat the blind 22-3; Mt. Hood BBQ grilled Hood River Athletic Club 18-7; and The Red Rockets blasted Ten in the Pit 16-9 despite the heroics of AJ Perdue who notched a glitzy 256 game for the vanquished Ten in the Pit gang.

Good bowling everyone.
