An above-600 series?  A game significantly above 200?  Both in the same week?  Imagine that!

Ok, one game was responsible for both, my final of the night, a 246, keeping me from another disaster, but considering a 4-week string of sub-600's, I'm not one to complain.

I came out of the gate with a 201, which is pretty good considering my first game is usually a struggle.  Naturally I screwed it all up with a 170 in the second, missing a 7-pin and a 10-pin in a game I was just really off with my release.

The third could have easily been more disappointment after rocking the pocket for an 8-10 split in the second frame.  But I strung 7 together from the 5th through the second ball of the 10th, with 9 on the fill, giving me a 617 for the night. 

Not overwhelming, but considering my recent struggles I'll take anything that boosts the average.

Hopefully the start of a good run. At 197, not much time left to make a run at 200 with about nine weeks left.
