Top Three Within Three As Wombats, Tommies Fall
Four Weeks Left As Race Tightens

South Glens Falls - The Wombats were swept and the Tomahawks foundered in Week 11 action of the Forever Young league on Thursday afternoon at Kingpin's Alley.

Tony Pliscofsky filled in for Cathy Tracy and led Twisted Sisters with 566 (180-201-185) and a 4-0 Wombat beating. After a long string of successes, the league leaders had little to offer on this day.

The Tommies squandered a huge opportunity to make up ground, losing 3-1 to cellar-dwelling Ups And Downs. Roy Brady put 243 in the center of his 593 and teammate Don Williams fortunately picked the same game to tally his lone deuce of the session for their point.

The Over The Hill Gang won 3-1 against The Singers to hop into second place. John Urban finished with 215 to pull out the total-pin point for the winners.

Dick Kenneally made a decent return from the disabled list and paced the league with 606 on games of 213, 177 and 216. Ray Davignon somehow had 268 amidst his 602 for the only other 600 or better effort.

Scoring was tough. Games under average prevailed over those over by 38-20 and the session average was five pins less than the season norm.

The Wombats are at 29-15 with the Over The Hill Gang 27-17 and the Toms at 26-18. The Yanks are making a move, now 5½ back. Mark Basso (224-557) and Floyd Butler (566) cancelled each other out in the Yanks' 2½-1½ victory.

Next week's premier matchup looks to be Fire And Ice vs. The Wombats.

Williams is atop the average leaderboard at 206, with Brady at 199, Butler at 198, Davignon at 193 and Kenneally at an unofficial (not enough qualifying games) 202.
