Things are starting to pick up in last third of the Bill Mastronardi’s Masters league with five teams that are within 20 points of the top spot.

 

Week 25 took place at Plaza Lanes in Washington, and they will not return until April 6th, for the final position round.

 

Scores in terms of points won on Monday night were very one sided. The average margin of victory for the 6 of the 12 teams that won their matchup Monday was 21.3. The closest matchup of the night was Striketown against Potters Alley. Striketown won 30 of the possible 50, while Potters took 20 points.

 

The biggest victory came from Linn Lanes who took 42 points from Landmark, which jumped them into first place after the first three weeks of the last third.

 

For the second time this year at the same house, Luke Morris was your Bowler of the Week producing games of 278, 277, and 225 for 780. Back on December 15th, Luke was also the Bowler of the Week at Plaza when he shot 834.

 

Your Team of the Week was Morton Industries who shot 2818, with a solid 749 from Gary Strait who has taken over Don Sweet for the rest of the season. They were able to win 35 of 50 points, which has them in third place.

 

The Strikeout pot was broken two weeks ago, so it has started over and currently sits at 120 dollars.
