Well, I only whiffed one - a 10-pin - something I don't normally do. (7-pins on the other hand give me fits...)

I messed around during warm-up trying to slow down my tempo and get a few more revs on the ball. Unfortunately it screwed with my timing a little so I was struggling through the first half of game one. I finally realized the lanes were hooking up more than my original read so I sped things up a bit to get back on track. Got the game to the point that if I punched-out in the tenth I'd shoot 230+. I opened for a 196. Lovely... Decided to change-up everything - ball, target, hand position - and shot 235-246 for a 677 series. Punched out in the tenth of game two to give the team a shot at winning. And we did, by 10 sticks. I wish we could have taken game one, but the opposition was on fire and took us by 140+. We split for the night which I'll take given we were up against the first place team. Overall, a good night, though I'd like another crack at frame 10 in game one...
