Game 5 two weeks ago was certainly a bit of a shake up.

Captain Carla’s Keep on Rolling pulled out a 12-8 win over Jill’s Rollin Stones for the night’s first match. The Rollin Stones Kelly, Travis and Jimmy now have just one more chance to avoid the Wooden Spoon. Most importantly the win for Keep On Rolling with Rich, Karen & Bob gave them the opportunity to move up from fifth place depending on the outcome and scores of the High Rollers and Belles of the Ball in the evening’s next two matches.

Clay’s fourth place High Rollers played a very hard fought match against the number two team Fugetabocce, captained by June Weaver. The High Rollers with regular Scotty Howard were very skillfully assisted by subs Tiffany & Gerda and secured the win over June, Brooke, Jaime and Pete 12-10. The win didn’t knock Fugetabocce out of second, but it did secure third place for the High Rollers and a playoff berth.

The night’s last match began with the undefeated Crushed Oysters missing their star player Jim Leon. What should have been a golden opportunity for third place Belles of the Ball turned into a crushing defeat 12-4 when Captain Cattich tapped Morgan to fill in for the missing Jim. Morgan’s accuracy and speed had the Oysters saying ” Jim, who?”. Holding Captain LeAnne’s Belles down to a total of just 4 points also meant that Carla’s Keep on Rolling with the same 2-3 win-loss record as the Belles, surpassed the Belles by 3 TPS.

So, Keep on Rolling has moved into forth place after Game 5 and secured a playoff berth for this Friday. The Belles, LeAnne, Dianna, Leslie and Chris will be facing the Rollin Stones for the first game of the playoffs, with the loser earning the Wooden Spoon at 6:30pm sharp
