Well.. tonight I was stubborn the first set, which led to my demise.. I gave in and moved 5 and 5 left the 2nd set which led to my victory. We were on the Scorpion pattern and I was trying to play up 8 standing on about 16.. washout.. washout.. 1 2 4... DUH??  Move??  NOPE!  washout.. washout...  Yet??  NOPE!!  This went on for 2 games and I got killed both games. 

2nd set I finally gave in and went 22 to 16 and I went a bit light for a bucket.. covered it. Same shot 2nd frame and closer but still a touch light. Tom is bowling next to me (see last week's blog) and says "Whatever you do.. don't move." Ok. Next frame.. same shot. BAM!  next frame BAM!  Double?  No Way!  I won this match with a whopping 161 by 1 stinking pin and had to put 10 in the pit with my fill ball. 4th game stayed clean for a 207 which again was a victory.

I am learning which is the entire reason for joining this league. It is a hard shot, definately no house shot; but I am going to come out the other side of 12 weeks a much better bowler for this. I just know it.  Thanks, Tom for staying after tonight and helping me, it will be taken to heart for sure :).
