In the race to win the first half of the scrappy Tuesday Nite Mixed bowling league up on the Heights at Orchard Lanes, Hood River’s ten-pin fun spot, we should have included old man winter in the equation. He sure messed things up last week — many leaguers opted wisely on the side of caution and stayed off the roads. We’re hoping things are better this week, but the forecast looks gloomy.
As it turned out, it really didn’t matter in the Mixed as the first-place team going into last week’s final matches, Who Gives A Split, who had a two-point lead over their nearest pursuers, won three out of four points against Team Nishi. By taking three points, they clinched their first half win.
Because of the dicey weather Team Nishi was shorthanded, missing the first game entirely and a bowler short for the next two games. The only chance any of the pursuers had was if the Splitters won only two points or less while they swept all four.
Two of the pursuers, Double A Orchards and Hood River Supply, gave it their best, both winning all four points in their matches. Nancy Asai carried Double A Orchards to their sweep — as she so often does — with an impressive 656 series that was highlighted by a mighty fine 237 game. Folks, that is what you call timely bowling. Hood River Supply’s opponent failed to show, so they forfeited the entire match to Supply.
So, hats off to Who Gives a Split, winners of the first half in the Tuesday Nite Mixed league, with hearty congratulations to the winning teammates, Kristyn Fix, Patrick Olson, Patty Morrissey, and Bill Morrissey.
Current highs in the Mixed are as follows:
High Average, Pat Olson 222 and Ciena Brittle 198.
High game and series, Nancy Asai 268, Chad Mason perfect 300; Ciena Brittle 697 and Pat Olson 755.
