STEAMROLLER NAMED "ANDY" PANCAKES ALL COMERS

1st- Andy Bohnsack was unstoppable...just ask Helen Flores who opened with a bingo and closed her book there 308-498 again Andy. He finished at 4-0 +540, three of his games at 520,498 and 475 made 3/4's of the nights top single scores.

2nd - Renato Umali finally showed up with his real "A" game on, going 3-1 +178 for 2nd position in the nights field of 8 souls.  Renato also briefly had Andy on the ropes in their cliff hanging game (Andy eventually won 449-426) but Renato missed seeing Andy's "hidden" QI hook onto DEF (to make DEFI) nearing the game's final plays. Renato's overall good night though moved him up the chart to the middle of the club's expert players.

3rd- Richard Lauder's 2-2 -14 landed him in 3rd as he struggled with too many unbalanced racks way too often...his defensive play making did keep his opponents from a worse route as he held them to a 373 per game average, 2nd to Andy's more thorough rout. Andy averaging 486 in four games to his opponent's gasping 351 average score.

4th - Gail Salm's 2-2 -35 just edged out Shayla Dunn's 2-2 also -35 as Gail recorded a higher single game 457-352 game with Helen Flores. Gail managed three bingoes in that closing game, HEADIER, FLITTER and REMAINS.

Bingo KIng was Renato Umail with 10...Renanto's included the word of the night VERMUTHS. He also played the plausible phony, SNAGGLES, which would be his first phony of the year. Virgins remaining in the regular experts without a phony inlude four women, Mary Becker, Helen Flores, Susan vergeront, Gail Salm and this exclusive club's sole male member, club Champion (so far) Charles Reinke.

CHARLES REINKE EMERGES ATOP EXPERTS ONCE AGAIN

1ST - In a fine UPSCALE move, Expert Charles Reinke's 4-0 +385 moved him to Numero Uno in the club standings. Cleverly, he bingoed out in his final game with CUTESIER as he turned back Shayla Dunn 479-404. Shayla has been blowing the doors off of most her opponents this year with her 416 per game average, a level achieved in part as she slips in a few choice phoneys, such as her "OCTORITE" play this week.

2nd - Thomas Reinke succumbed only to Shayla in a 6 point setback, at 331 to her 337 score, before righting his ship to a 3-1 +192 final tally. That included Thomas's go out bingo of BUNKOED for 473 against Michael David's impressive 469 score. Losing with a 469 put Michael in 5th place on the All-Time Highest Losing Scores chart, as he unexpectedly came face to face with a suddenly truer meaning of BUNKOED! : 0

3RD - Shayla Dunn's likewise solid 3-1 +123 earned 3rd place position as she continued her fine play...she managed a split against the Reinke's, dropping Game 4 404-479 to Charles and his bingo barrage of RAINOUT, ADROITER, NARGILES and for good final measure, CUTESIER through an exposed S tile.

JUNE SCOTT PERSEVERES @2-2 FOR A TOP'S FINISH

1st - Intermediate June Scott shot out of the starting gate with 2 straight wins with scores of 342 and 387 before dropping her last two games including a narrow three point loss to Barb Besadny (338-341) but still finished with a 2-2 +92 night.

2nd - Sue Goldstein's 2-2 -69 took home the 2nd place claims...Sue closed with a 367-285 game including TACKIER as June Scott graciously stayed and played their fourth game, keeping the club matchups at One-Vs.-One for the only such pairing of the night.

3rd - Sharlie Miiura used the bingo play of DRAFTING to give her the edge vs. Harwinder Dowd 347-323 as She rolled to a 1-1 3rd place final position.

1st - Peter Schmiedicke emerged top dog as four experts squared off at the East Side Hy-Vees for a Monday shoot out. Peter's 3-1 +280 includede the word of the night, UNWINDER as a triple-triple in his 533-437 game with renato Umali.

2nd - Richard Lauder's 2-2 -44 was just enough to garner him a 2nd place finish as the tile bag turned in his favor after his 0-2 start. Richard also enjoyed an accomdating game with Renato Umali with his game's 463-353 win. Richard played TANNINS, EPINASTY, and PROMISEE in a rare 3-bingo game assault against Renato's sole REDATING.

3rd- Andy Bohnsack had his winning streak at Hy-Vee run aground by Peter Schmiedicke's 447-to Andy's 373 2nd game encounter. Peter's sole bingo of SALARIED was enough to offsets Andy's OUTREADS and SEVERER plays. Andy's two losses let Lynda Finn slip ever so slightly ahead of him as she took over 3rd place in our Club stats behind the Dreaded Duo...no other names need be attached to that pair..  : )

See many of you at Club this Wednesday at the Church...
