A tropical heatwave, the way the balls moves that temperature proves its really a can-can. Yes, we can can finally have a Bocce League night that is not freezing cold. So be prepared this Friday for some summery weather (swimming is allowed), and some equally hot playing.

Round three despite some chilly temps did have some very fiery playing. The night’s first match between the Belles of the Ball and Keep on Rolling was a very closely fought game that looked like Captain Carla with teammate Rich, sub Gerda and visitor Luke Darwin had in the bag. But the Belles with Leslie, Diane, Chris & Captain LeAnne sneaked out a 13-10 win.

Our first and second place teams Fugetabocce and Crushed Oysters faced off for the second game of the evening. Emotionally tired from the funeral preparations for Captain June’s Mom, Team Fugetabocce with Brooke, daughter Kerry & her husband Ryan, never really got going and were soundly defeated by Chris Cattich’s Crushed Oysters. The Oysters’ Jim Leon with visitors Charley & Jack Darwin were superb with a terrific last frame of 4 points, securing their 15-3 win and a first place position.

The High Rollers and Rollin Stones started the night each with a two loss record, but Captain Clay’s wise decision to tap Jim Woodcock and Kelly’s sister Monica as substitutes along with teammate Scotty Howard was instrumental in securing the High Roller’s first win of the season over The Rollin Stones an all Simmon’s family team comprised of Travis, Kelly, nephew KC and Mom Chicky. The game was still good fun and very close but ended with a 12-10 win for the High Rollers.
