THE POWER OF THREE

Many people, including Confucius, believe that good things come in threes, and that the power of three is a big deal; and so it was that the second half of the 2023 season rolled off to a terrific start. Three teams (Wise guys, Nor’easters, and Pocket Pounders) completed three-game sweeps of their opponents, finishing 1-2-3 in team scratch and handicap game and series

scoring. Also bowling well and winning three of four points in each of their matches were the Pin Tails, Livin’On A Spare, and Split Happens. Finally, three individuals (Dave Connally, Ray Cook, and Bill Doody) bowled the night’s three highest scratch and handicap games and series respectively.

The top scores of the night were bowled by: Dave Connally-662(269,215), Ray Cook-654(256,221), Bill Doody-622(245,215), Ken Rienth-622(202,233), Rich Shanley-613(234), Rich Wantuck-601(225,225), Rich Plant-598(216), Robert Farrell-590(237), Bret Sigillo-583(203,231), Joe Stiene-570(220), Kevin Kremler-559, Mark Zaenglein-551, Dennis Mancinelli-533, David Logue-531(209), Harry Shoudy-530(211), Jim Sieberkrob-526, Madis Smit-522,

Dick Schondelmeier-519(212), and Dan Conrad-204.
