Yes tomorrow is the Championship and its high stakes for both Carla’s Keep on Rolling and June’s Fugetabocce. Captain Carla’s teammates Rich, Karen & Bob were amazing in the last two games and if they keep on rolling like we’ve recently seen Captain June with Brooke, Jamie and an unnamed substitute will have to be on their toes.

The Playoffs two weeks ago were very exciting. The night’s opener Wooden Spoon match between the Belles and Rollin Stones at 5th and 6th place respectively saw the Belles barely sneaking out a win over Captain Jill, Kelly, Travis and Jimmy for a 12-10 final score. It has been an interesting season for the Rollin Stones, except once in Game 4 they only narrowly lost each game, often looking and playing like victors. The sad result is a consistent 0- 5 win loss record and this year’s Wooden Spoon. Captain LeAnne and her Belles, Dianne, Leslie and Chris let out a big sigh of relief.

The second Playoff game of the night was a repeat between Clay’s High Rollers and Fugetabocce. Unlike Game 5 when Captain Clay with Scotty and two substitutes Tiffany and Gerda managed to defeat the formidable Fugetabocce, they succumbed during the Playoffs 12-6. Once again Captain June will be leading her team into the Championships and the High Rollers will be playing tomorrow for third place.

The real shake up was the night’s last game between undefeated and first place Crushed Oysters, with Captain Chris, Jack, Jim and Jen against Carla’s Keep On Rolling. Carla’s teammates have impressed us with a meteoric rise in the standings. After Game 4 and with only one game left in regular season play they were in 5th place and looked to be heading towards a Wooden Spoon match. They pulled out a win in Game 5 and with the Belles loss that night to the Crushed Oysters, Keep on Rolling had just enough Total Points Scored (TPS) to grab 4th place and a playoff berth. Well they made the most of that opportunity when they defeated the incredible Crushed Oysters 12-8. Congratulations Keep on Rolling you are playing in the Championship tomorrow. The Crushed Oysters will also play in the night’s first game against High Roller for third place.
