Week 6: Pin Pals

Week 6 Stats

Welcome Back Bowling Fans!!!

As most of you are devoted and extremely loyal fanatics of Team Each Hit, you must all already realize that Team Each Hit has been steadily falling down the ranks of the Pizza Pitcher League. There is no doubt they are in a severe slump. And when you are in the midst of a slump, there is no worse time to play a number one ranked team, or more importantly a team on a roll.

Unfortunately that's just who Team Each Hit was matched up against in Week 6, the dreaded Pin Pals. Recently the alley had been abuzz about the sudden dominance of this relatively unknown team. In their first year in the league, and in three back to back weeks, the amazing foursome of Homer, Moe, Apu and Otto had completely dominated their opponents and won every point. In their first match up, despite looking rusty, they easily took down the previous league champs, the Channel 6 Wastelanders. And in the weeks to come, without even trying, they blanked the DMV Regulation Kings and completely destroyed the spirits of the previous number 1 ranked team the Holy Rollers. With that kind of skill and a Nuclear Power Plant as their sponsor how could Team Each Hit not be nervous?

But coming into their match up with Team Each Hit, the Pin Pals did something unheard of; They replaced their top bowler Otto, who in previous weeks had single handedly decided games with his amazing ability to pick up spares, with the chief executive officer of the Nuclear Power Plant, Mr. Burns. Upon seeing this decrepit and ancient looking man stroll up to throw his first ball, Team Each Hit thought there was a glimmer of hope to take down this powerhouse. But Otto was not going to let this game be a cake walk. And in the end his disturbance at the vending machines was what tipped the scales in Pin Pals favor yet again.

Team Each Hit can only hope that next week they play a less animated team.

Go Each Hit!!
