Some tough luck I had last night

I started with a spare, strike, and open for a 48 through 3, the guy I was bowling had the same thing.  I roll off the next 8, he does the same.  

Last shot in the 10th looks good, but just comes up high at the end and I leave the 6-10.  His shot comes up high and he leaves the 2-6 and then a messenger comes across and takes out the 6.  I lose 257-256.

Just thought I'd get that off my chest, since it was the only game where I was close to him (he also shot 233 and 275).
