Things seem to be getting brighter for the demoralized Vexillologists.  Now actually over a .500 winning percentage and only four games out of first, it seems as if they are actually climbing out of the deep, deep hole that they have dug themselves.  In week fifteen the Vexillologists took on the Strikers, a team currently tied for first place.  This week they got to see if there really is a light at the end of the tunnel, or if it is just the train quickly approaching.

GAME : 1

Game one appeared to be a bright beacon for the week and the rest of the first half.  With three out of four members of the team over their averages, it all looked fine and dandy.  But the two bowlers on the Strikers were far over their averages and rendered the Vexillologists effort ineffective.  Fegley did manage to lead the team with his high game of the week.  Brett finished the game strong to take his average by three pins, while Lindsay defeated her struggling brother who needs to work on keeping his shoulders squared up and slowing down his approach and ball speed.

SCORES:
• Brett Bieber-       149
• Lindsay Runkel-  102
• Mike Runkel-        74
• John Fegley-        195

GAME : 2

After the first game's defeat, the Vexillologists lost their zing.  Fegley still lead the team but only by eight pins over Brett.  Lindsay picked up a pin on her first game and again knocked off her brother as the team game two to the first place team.

SCORES:

• Brett Bieber-       151
• Lindsay Runkel-  103
• Mike Runkel-        86
• John Fegley-        158

GAME : 3

After losing game two the team woke up and shot their high game of the week.  Fegley again led the team and finished just one pin below his first game, his high game.  Brett did in fact shoot his high game completing a series where he was over average all three games.  Lindsay lost in her effort to sweep her brother who shot his high game of the week, but was still over average.  The Vexillologists managed to win game three and avoid the sweep.

SCORES:

• Brett Bieber-        165
• Lindsay Runkel-     87
• Mike Runkel-         90
• John Fegley-       194

RECAP

By only winning one game in the series the team fell to an even .500 winning percentage.  Lindsay again gained ground in the Runkel War series by taking three of four from Mike Runkel who still leads the series by a dwindling margin (32-27-1).  The Strikers and Strike Force remain tied for first place after both teams took three out of four games.
