Stats for October 15, 2025

1st Thomas Reinke overcame an emergency relocation of club operations to go 4-1 +370. He quickly hopped into to the loser's bracket with a first-round loss to Charles Reinke, 439-448, despite flexing his Collins knowledge as a form of intimidation (BANDELET#, PAGODITE#, and EARWIGS). Thomas then ran off four straight victories, starting with comfortable wins over Richard Lauder (532-286) and Bryan Benwitz (469-367). A 118-point double-double of STERILIZE against Richard was word of the week. In the final round, Thomas had to utilize all of his available brainpower to prevail in both games of a two-on-one match: he got a revenge win against Charles, 472-445, playing PIGOUTS, CERRADO#, and SEXTAINS to Charles' OLDSTER, TARTANES#, and TEGUMINA, as well as securing a hotly-contested 419-415 victory over Steve Hartsman, playing BEDEWING and PHENETOL to Steve's high-prob TRAINEE.

2nd Charles Reinke went 3-1 +355 with a per-game average of 480. He used -ED bingos to great effect in the first game, playing RESINED and FRESCOED to defeat his brother 448-439. This was followed up with a dominating 611-310 victory over Andy Bohnsack; 611 is the third-highest score this season and the fifth 600+ game overall. Charles reached such scoring heights with relatively high-probability seven-letter words as his bingos: GRADATE, BOLETES, SARDINE, and KATIONS. Charles' bingo output slowed down in the third game, but his singular LENTOIDS was enough to beat Steve Hartsman 417-345. Sadly, a 445-472 rematch loss to Thomas in the last game put a cruel end to Charles' desires for an undefeated evening.

3rd Sara McLaughlin bounced back from a recent 0-4 outing to go 3-1 +182. Her first game saw her get a 107-point bingo of FRESHING, but the outcome of the match probably wasn't to her liking, as she was felled by Steve Hartsman, 355-458. That game would prove to be her only loss of the night. In the second game, Sara made quick work of Dave Kinzer, winning 431-302 thanks to a find of AGOUTIES. She also got a big win against Andy Bohnsack, 393-278, finding TOASTED to Andy's AERIEST (delayed payback for Andy's 616-point game against her in the not-too-distant past). A 414-373 victory against Richard Lauder, bingoing with GRANTERS and REISSUES, capped Sara's valiant comeback effort after starting the night with a loss.
