Tommies Back On Top

South Glens Falls - You fall or get bucked off, better to hop back on and get the memory out of your system.

Tomahawk anchor Don Williams drew a wide-open tenth-frame split in the second game, relegating his team to an eight-pin defeat and an 0-2 hole with a game to go in Thursday's Forever Young action at Pine Lanes. Undaunted, thirty minutes later he blasted a final-ball strike to win the total pin point by a single stick and secure the Toms' 2-2 split against the Yanks.

Williams completed his afternoon's work with a less-than-spectacular 228-567, leaving the heavy lifting to leadoff man Roy Brady, who didn't disappoint in a 633 set on games of 193, 232 and 208. Roy continues to lead the circuit in average after three sessions at 204.

Mark Basso provided the punch for the Yanks with a pair of games in the 180s and 533 overall.

The draw moved the Tomahawks back up into sole possession of the league lead (at 9-3) by a half-game over those Yanks and The Librarians, who suffered their first losses of the young season - three in fact - versus Hi-Lo.

The newest addition to the league, the 11th team headed by Gary Frost and ably manned by sub Roger Feuerstein (181-502), was the lone squad to sweep all four points. Gary and his still-unnamed partner will have some bowling to make up soon, but for now they're unbeaten at 4-0.

Seven teams are at or above the .500 level after three weeks of play.

The tandem of Audrey/Roger will hereafter be known as the Marauders. Frost's team (#11) needs a name. Frostbite was suggested to a lukewarm reception.

Carol Finkle had the high single game for the gals (177) and Mary Tessino had the best series (451).

We would like to add three (3) new bowlers, one for the Frost team and two to make it a 12-team league. Please spread the word. Thanks!
