AACK.

First game: Head into the 10th with a shot at 200, and I throw the first one right through the face, ball takes out the 1-2-5-8, leaving the ever-popular 3-4-6-7-9-10. I've made it before, but not this time. Got the 3-6-10 and left the 4-7-9. Frame total: 4-3, 7 pins.

Second game: Send the ball a little wide (competition was all throwing plastic, so by now the carrydown was good and set-in), leave the 2-4-10. Second ball, I have no idea what I was throwing at, I guess, but it wasn't the pins. Whiff completely by hooking in front of the 2-4. Frame total: 7-0, 7 pins.

Third game: Send the ball wide again, this time I leave the 1-2-4-6-10 washout. Throw a real good shot on the second ball and get the 1-2-4-6, but a bad break with the way I hit the 1-6 sent the 1 and the 6 opposite sides around the 10. Frame total: 5-4, 9 pins.

Oh, and the miss in the first game cost my team the game. We managed to take three out of four, no thanks to me.

Last week, I covered 80+ sticks in the three tenths combined. Not tonight.
