Here are the latest ten-pin league bowling reports from up on the Heights at Hood River’s fun spot, Orchard Lanes:
Tuesday Nite mixed league
Congratulations to Split Faced (Steve Moore, Torey Schmidt, Staci Winfield and Wynn Winfield) who won the exciting Tuesday Nite Mixed league on 3-11-2025. Split Faced easily won a four team roll-off for the championship which was comprised of the teams that finished first and second in both halves of the league. The roll-off was a three game total pins contest with the league winner being the team with the most total pins. Here are the results: Split Faced (2nd half winner) 2,757 pins; C.P.R. ( second place in the first half) 2,609 pins; Double A Orchards (second place in the second half) 2,605 pins; and Gutter Dawgs (first half winner) 2,598 pins.
Clutch bowlers in the roll-off included Torey Schmidt who starred for Split Faced by firing a nifty 225 game; Dan Nakamura was “the man” for C.P.R., punching the sticks to the tune of big 255 and 224 games in a dandy 662 series (104 pins over his average!); and all-star bowlers Nancy Asai and Erin Salisbury gave it their best shot for Double A Orchards as Nancy tossed 215 and 213 games while Erin chipped in a 200 game.
