Sampson Powers Wombats To Sweep With 704 Series
Tomahawks Two Back After Besting Twisted Sisters

South Glens Falls - The Wombats got a terrific effort Thursday afternoon from anchor Gary Sampson to sweep always-tough Leftover and maintain their standings lead after nine sessions of the Forever Young league at Kingpin's Alley.

Sampson carded a 704 series on games of 189, 236 and 279 to fuel the runaway victory. The Wombats are currently at 26-10.

The Tomahawks nearly matched that, but a 7-pin loss in the finale made them settle for a 3-1 win against Twisted Sisters. Roy Brady led the attack with 665 on games of 235, 216 and 214 while partner Don Williams added 220 and a pair of 198s for 616. The Toms sit at 24-12 and take on those Wombats next week as the FY enters a position round in the schedule.

Floyd Butler had 214-584 for Fire And Ice in their 3-1 triumph over Kay + Dick. Tony Pliscofsky filled in for John Urban again and put 249 at the end of his otherwise sub-par 544. Rod LaChapelle finished strong with 226 for 534 in Leftover's embarrassment vs. The Wombats.

Kay + Dick get the Over The Hill Gang next week, while Fire And Ice oppose the Twisted Sisters. Leftover-Yanks and The Singers-Ups And Downs complete the schedule.

Williams is atop the average leaderboard at 210, with Butler and Kenneally at 202. Brady remains fourth, but moved up mightily to 200.
