Last night in league I unfortunately witnessed a huge series collapse from our leadoff bowler. In each of the first two games he started with a washout which he made. The first game he proceeded to reel off 9 strikes in a row before leaving a 7 pin for a 279- the second game he had a 6 bagger, left a 7 pin, then had another double before leaving another 7 pin which he missed for a 257. The final game the shot really broke down for him, shots started going high, and he missed an easy spare in the middle- finishing with a 159 and a 695 series.
What types of series collapses have you either been a part of or witnessed in your lifetime? I did the same thing in the mid 90's in one of my Sunday night mixed leagues. For the first 18 frames I had shot 269 and was on my way to shooting another mid 250 game- but then I went brain dead and failed to shoot 700, I think posting a 680 series.
