Vexillologists

     Weekly Review: October 30th 2004

      MCELC

With Chris Long and Kyle Knepp being erased from the league due to qualification discrepancies, the league championship is literally open to anybody.  Their teams were at the time first and second respectively, the Vexillologists a distant third.  But with both teams lacking anchors, the time is now for the Vexillologists to mount the comeback horse and storm in.  This week the saddled up and took off against the Strikers.

GAME : 1

Mike Runkel kept his hot streak going with another outstanding game, defeating his sister who's scores were represented by her average minus ten pins.  Fegley actually managed to break his average, something that he failed to do all of last week.  Brett Bieber had a poor start and just lost out to Mike by two pins as the Vexillologists won game one.

    SCORES:
  • Brett Bieber-       128
  • Lindsay Runkel-    90
  • Mike Runkel-      130
  • John Fegley-        180

GAME : 2

Everybody seemed to falter in the second game, Fegley dropping by two pins but still over his average as he lead the team.  Mike fell thirty-eight pins from his highest game of the week, but still managed to cap his sisters blind.  Brett had a horrid game, his lowest of the week and forty-seven pins below his average.  No surprise the Vexillologists lost game two.

    SCORES:

  • Brett Bieber-       115
  • Lindsay Runkel-    99
  • Mike Runkel-      152
  • John Fegley-        142

GAME : 3

Just as everybody fell in game two, they also all made a mad dash in the final leg of the series.  Mike Runkel, back in the driver's seat as he again well surpassed his average and also beating his sister completing the sweep.  Fegley just missed out on a 200 game that would have broken his streak of eleven straight games with out one.  Despite the great scoring, the Vexillologists were outdone by eight pins and lost game three.

    SCORES:
  • Brett Bieber-        144
  • Lindsay Runkel-     90
  • Mike Runkel-       123
  • John Fegley-         198

RECAP

With game one's decisive victory, the Vexillologists managed to salvage the series split by taking total pinfall.  Mike rode his hot streak into week nine and completed his second straight series sweep over his sister giving him a dominating lead over Lindsay (22-14).  After splitting the series with the first place team, they remain seven games out of first.  But Strike Force, taking three out of four, moved into a tie for first place.
