Matt Hodges and Bill Morrissey shattered their career bowling highs at Hood River’s friendly Orchard Lanes last week. And, when we say that, we mean absolutely demolished.

The young man with the biggest backswing this side of New York city, tall Matt Hodges waxed those helpless Twisters to the tune of a huge scratch 757 three game series in the Industrial. Safeway’s big man began the session with a cool eleven strike 278 game. Most of us would get a little nervous after a start like that, but not Matt. He continued like a machine to pound the pocket and rack up strike after strike. Folks, a 750 series is big-time, a 250 average for the nights work, well over 20 strikes in the series. That’s impressive indeed. Right now, Matt is hotter than a firecracker in July. He’s raised his average to a personal best, a gaudy 212 pins per game, good enough to earn the sixth man award right now and just a tick or two off the all-star team. Look out everybody, Matt Hodges has arrived!
