The Other Sampson Sparks Wombats To Win
Erica Shoots 517 As Tomahawks Fall 3-1; Now Four Back


South Glens Falls - The Wombats got an unexpected boost Thursday afternoon at Kingpin's Alley as leadoff gal Erica Sampson fired 167-165-185 for a whopping 517 triple (718 with handicap). That effort along with last week's star Gary (216-564) was enough to beat the Tomahawks 3-1 and open up a four-point lead in the standings after ten weeks.

Don Williams paced the Tommie loss and all other Forever Young keglers with 614 on games of 206, 227 and 181. Teammate Roy Brady contributed 179-216-186 for 581.

Ray Davignon had the other 600 set, a 612 on games of 226, 192 and 194 but his Leftover duo was swept by the Yanks behind anchor Mark Basso's 202-560 performance.

The Wombats sit at a comfortable 29-11 with the Toms at 25-15. The Over The Hill Gang is another point back, the Yanks at 21-19 and Fire And Ice and Kay + Dick each at 20-20.

Next week's premier matchup looks to be Fire And Ice vs. the Yanks.

Williams is atop the average leaderboard at 209, with Brady at 199, Floyd Butler at 198, Davignon at 192 and Dick Kenneally at an unofficial 202.
