Lightning makes Magic disappear

Tyler Wendel had a slow start to his Niagara 5-Pin Mixed Pro League season.

The reigning men’s high-average champ seems to have figured things out though, as heading into the last segment of the season he has finally worked his way back into second place in the men’s high average field.

To bolster this, he connected for a fantastic 810 (276, 223, 311) series to lead his Lakeside Electrical Lightning to a 3-0 blanking of the Dale Mellway Life Insurance Magic. Brian McFarlane helped out in the winner’s cause, following with 792 (243, 277, 272), while Mike Owen added 643 (235, 226). The Magic answered with John Wendel’s 665 (287).

The Ontario Street Boston Pizza Brutes knocked off the Oh Canada Eh Dinner Show Town Criers 2-1. Rob Fisher had the hot hand again for the Brutes as he tossed the best individual performance of the evening, a lanescorching 828 (248, 255, 325), while getting pushed along by Josh Robins’ 683 (224, 249) and Jordan Gravelle, who checked in with 663 (237, 261).

The Town Criers replied with Tim Dixon’s 678 (227, 238).

The Wine Place Whiners dropped a 2-1 defeat on the Scorecard Harry’s Half Pints as Trish Aubertin paced the winners with 674 (254, 282), while getting help from David Michael who added 636 (226, 214).

The Half Pints fought back with Shawn Pellizari’s 707

(286, 236) and Adam Eckhardt’s 634 (235, 220).

In the evening’s final match, the Oh Canada Eh Dinner Show Canucks defeated the Reggie’s Renovations Inc. Hammerheads 2-1.
