Rich, Fred and Mindy hit AC on Saturday, and brought back some fortune for lucky week eleven. The cards were stacked in our favor, as we were back in our home port and the Indigents didn't bring along a full house. At home, we have outscored our opponents 65-43 (versus 31-77 on the road) and with only 3 people on their team, anyone who bet against the Ship this week was facing long odds.
In S501, we only played 3 games. Holly drew their ace in the first game and, despite a valiant comeback, lost a tough match. Rich and Mindy cashed in with wins in their matches, and 3 forfeits gave the Ship a 5-1 lead after S501. Fred / Mindy doubled down to start out Cricket, taking both games of their 2-on-1 match. Holly / Nikki split the aces in their match, and with the final game forfeit, we took another 5 points in Cricket.
By the time we got to D501, we were up 10-2 and playing with the house's money. While it would have been easy to let down, we kept the pressure on, even though two of the games were 2-on-1. Jeremy / Holly started things off with a win. Rich / Nikki fought a war of attrition, before Nikki finally ended it by hitting the point. In the last game, Fred/Mindy faced a strong opponent, but Mindy's Ton-33 and Fred's Ton opened up a big lead. With Fred's double-out, we sealed a sweep in D501 and a final score of 16-2.
It might not have been as fun as a 12-1 payoff on "match the dealer", but it's still money in the bank.
Props:
Mindy - 3 earned wins (no forfeits), 331 AS points. And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson.
