As expected, it was a big night in the Bill Mastronardi’s Masters league as they traveled to Potters Alley in Morton this week.

 

With a lot of big scores, and five weeks left before the final position round of the year, Linn Lanes is still at the top even after only winning 18 points this week.

 

The rest of the standings are really tight, the second-place team T&D Windshield has nine other squads within 35 points of them, including three of which are only trailing them by five.

 

Things are bound to be shaken up on any given night.

 

If your name was Jason Jones on Monday night, things worked out pretty well for you. The night started off with Jason Jones (P) shooting 300, while Jason Jones from Bloomington was your Bowler of the Week.

 

He finished games of 258, 268 and 248 for 774. Pro shop Tony was second on the night with 769 and Tommy Barnwell was third with 762. Gary Robinson also had the front 11 and finished 299 game three.

 

For the second time in three weeks, Morton Industries was your Team of the Week with 2861, they are currently in third.

 

A week ago, at Mt. Hawley, the league only had six bowlers who could muster 700 or above, this week though, a total of 16 bowlers shot 700 or better.

 

The Strikeout pot was broken about a month ago, so it has started over and currently sits at 240 dollars.

​​  

WEEKLY STATISTICS

 

As I said, it was a very good night on the lanes for the league on Monday night. 34 bowlers raised their average on the night.

 

The overall average on the night was 226.02, with that number, the average of the league increased from 218.66 to 219.03.

 

Out of the 144 games bowled 87 of them over the 218.66 mark.

 

Scores will once again rebound next week though as we return to Potters Alley.

​

​With one honor score last night the league now has 13 300s on the year, and still 7 800s, the highest being from Tony DeVita with an 867 a few weeks ago.
