Bacaardi Singles (Day 2)

The Sprat PACK headed to Freeway Lanes early Sunday morning to bowl the quarter-final round of five games in the Bacardi Singles tournament.

I was completely lost and struggling all morning.  I went through five balls in my bag with no carry.  I was feeling confident and throwing the ball well but could find nothing.  My five games were: 202 - 192 - 198 - 226 - 208.  (+358) Not a good bracket session, but I was just hoping to make the next cut to the top 12.  Thirteenth place was the last cash spot.

Michelle bowled well: 256 - 223 - 198 - 225 - 213 (+240) which moved her up in the standings.

Vicki was bowling her heart out in order to make the next cut.  She fired games of: 204 - 191 - 258 - 204 - 300 (!) It was very exciting to watch my little sister throw all 12!  Her 300 pushed her ahead of me in the standings.

Vicki was 8th and I was 11th heading into the Semi-finals.  The 12th spot was +350.  Whew! I barely made it but was only 50 pins from the top 5.  Still in striking distance for a repeat!  Michelle finished somewhere in the top 24 but missed the cash spot.

Vicki and I bowled another four games.  She started with a 251 and finished with a 213 - 213 - 227.  I started off with my Roto-Grip Cell and began to lose carry in the second game.  My last four games were: 236 - 205 - 163 - 202.  Vicki finished 7th and I finished 10th.

All in all it was a good weekend for the Sprat PACK.  We came back to Jersey with a couple extra bucks, a couple more 300s, and more determination for the next tournament.
