So first game in leagues tonight, I had a decent game going. Nothing spectacular but on pace for average....  then in the 9th frame I Had a terrible first ball and ended up leaving the 4, 6, 7, 9, 10. Sucks I know. Cost me average and cost the team the game.

So I’m like, just fire it out there and hope you can knock a few pins around. It’ll at least take some frustration out. So I do. Stand left, fire right. Hits the 6-10 perfectly, 6 pins falls across the lane. Somehow ricochets off the 7 and takes out the 4.....  only problem was it came in front of the 9 pin..... 

Any one else have similar or other odd things happen to them?

YE DON'T LIVE HERE NO MORE!

A teammate left the 1-2-4-6-10 last Wednesday and on the spare attempt, went right through the 3 pin window and left all untouched!

I suppose it counts, I left the 4-6-7-10 in a tournament Sunday, and took the 7-10 off it without the 4 or 6 wiggling.

Watched a college kid leave 1-2-4-6-10 throwing big hook ball.  He then threw big curve backup ball at spare and took out only the 2 pin.  I couldn't help but crack up.  Good thing we don't score like golf and have to clear all the pins because he may have needed 3-4 more shots at this rate.

I guess that would be known as the double super washout

Last night I was on the front 10 on a "Challenge" pattern (Beaten Path). Everyone in league stops to watch me as I finish out the game.

Anyways, 11th shot slipped a little outside, but I caught all of the ball at the bottom, and the ball screams off the outside into the headpin leaving the 3-4-6-7-9-10.

I've left my fair share of Greek Churches on hits through the face, but getting only 4 pins from clobbering the headpin while on the front 10 stung hard.

I'll raise you one better on that same leave, I did it with the front 11 for 294. I laugh about it now, but that night I wasn't the happiest person in the building, i'll tell ya that much lol

Back in 2001, my friend and I were going to bowl a JBT at Ocean Lanes. We drove to Ocean Lanes in Ocean City, MD 2 hours away. The tournament was at Ocean Lanes in Ocean City, NJ.

Then we got a speeding ticket on the way home.
