Are You Splitting Me won the Tuesday Nite Mixed league at Orchard Lanes last week. Congratulations to this cleverly named crew, Liz Debates, Austin Reed, Holly Reed, and Robert Reed. The Splitters prevailed in a total pins three game roll off between the four teams that finished first and second in both halves of the league. The Splitters racked up 2,793 pins, Team Nishi toppled 2,698 pins, Split Faced got 2,611 pins and Double A Orchards tallied 2,589 pins.

The Splitters won by 95 sticks, which was certainly not a wipe-out, but it was a nail biter into the last game. At that point, the Splitters were leading the match by only 29 pins over Team Nishi. They say the way to win pressure packed matches like this is to shake off the nerves and finish big. That’s exactly what the Splitters anchor man Robert Reed did. He pounded the 1-3 pocket in his last game, finishing with a big-time strike filled 258. That clutch performance boosted him to a superb 677 series which was 119 pins over his average. And that’s not all, Robert’s son, Austin Reed, also kicked his game up another notch rolling two key 200 games that helped him finish 97 pins over his average for the match. Folks, that’s how you win when the chips are on the table. Regardless of their catchy team’s name, it’s doubtful they saw many splits bowling big numbers like those. This is what exciting league bowling is all about.
