Week 3: Motorboaters

Week 3 Stats

Welcome Back Bowling Fans!!!

This week the beloved Team Each Hit battled a team of Red Cross certified swim instructors playfully named The Motorboaters*. But Team Each Hit was focused, and with the devastating loss from Week 2 fresh on their minds, there was no way they were going to let those Motorboaters get in their chest and shake things up.

Heat 1: The Doggy Paddle
With victory on their mind, Team Each Hit pumped themselves up and showed extraordinary focus to win the first heat. They got a quick jump off the blocks from their new rookie, Beer Nip (Aka Kurtain, AKA Everybody Kurts, AKA Bangkok, AKA The Big Kurt, AKA Mathlete, AKA Frankurter), but definitely lost some ground when only half their team was able to match their average scores. In the end Team Each Hit got lucky as their doggy paddle was just enough to beat out The Motorboaters elementary backstroke.

Heat 2: The Breaststroke
In the second heat, Team Each Hit was awestruck with the accuracy and precision of The Motorboaters breaststroke. And no matter how hard they sprinted, they just could not keep their heads above water. With an inevitable set back to their perfect victory, Team Each Hit took comfort in knowing that this was a long course event, and so they refocused and buckled down for the marathon that would be heat 3.

Heat 3: 400 Meter Medley Relay
In the last heat, Team Each Hit pulled out all the stops. They lubed up, they put on low resistance suits and they shaved their heads, anything to get just the slightest edge so they could pull out a final victory. Leading by example, the veterans of Team Each Hit showed that pressure did not affect them as they displayed perfect form in all of their strokes, even beating The Motorboaters in breaststroke.

After tallying all the points, Team Each Hit came out with a respectable 5-2 victory over The Motorboaters. And since the Red Cross always promotes good sportsmanship and being a good loser, The Motorboaters did a cheer for Team Each Hit to cap off the evening:
Bowling ball, bowling ball, knock-the pins so slow.
Bowling ball, bowling ball, knock-the pins so fast!
Bowling ball, bowling ball, knock-the pins on their ass!

Go Each Hit!!
