My Time In the East

Bowling Night

So work was another uneventful day, except spent it mostly in meetings during the day as it was our major meeting day of the month.

Anyway, the highlight of the day was the final week of the bowling season. (Next season starts the first week of June.)

As I stated in the last post, we were bowling the team that is ranked ahead of our team in the standings. We were virtually assured that we would maintain our current position, but there was also a slim chance that we could move up one position in the standings. That was our goal. In order to do that everybody needed to be on their best game. Hence the extra practice the night before.

Well, things started extrememly well for us as we took both the first two games and had an overall lead of about 130 pins going into the final game. Either way were assured of a 4-4 split and maintaining our current standing. The final game would determine if we gained position in the overall standings.

It's not to say that we fell apart in the last game our that they got it together, but in the end we lost the last game by about 30 pins. But because the margin of victory we had in the first two games we also won on overall pins, giving us a 6-2 victory and a move up in the standings.
