Tenpin bowling at Hood River’s Orchard Lanes got very friendly last week. It’s only October, so we’re not in tip-top mid-season form yet, but there were some mighty fine scores last week. We had four 700s. The Dalles former national bowling rep Steve Byers became the latest tall totaler to crack the magical 700 three game series mark. Steve fired a nifty scratch 705 in the Monday night Industrial league, which also pushed his average over 200.
Â
Proprietor Pat Olson exploded out of his mini-slump with two 700s. He notched a ridiculously good, huge 794 three gamer in the Tuesday Nite Mixed and then he put a cool 712 on top of that in the Wednesday Fraternal. As the main man at the lanes, we expect big numbers like these from Pat. He is one of the best and has so many award scores on his resume we’ve lost count. Double A Orchards’ leading lady and all-star bowling whiz Nancy Asai racked up her second 700 of this young season with a nifty 723 set that she stroked in the Mixed. That raised Nancy’s average to a pretty spiffy 206 sticks per game! Folks, that’s some mighty fine bowling. If you have to bowl Nancy, better get ready for a beating.
