Meredith Kline Kicks Ass!

Turnabout is fair play and payback is a bitch. After last week's romp over a short-handed squad, we went into the match against the Loud Drunks with Darts with only four hands on deck. Although it would be tough to win the night, we had our own fierce internal competition brewing, with Rich and Fred battling for the most wins and Rich / Fred / Holly / Meredith battling for the title of Ironman.

To start the night, Fred and Rich lost their opening matches, keeping them even in total wins. Then Meredith not only won, but embarrassed her opponent, throwing a 94 and a Ton-33, and doubling out on her second try. Holly opened up a huge lead in the final game, but got nabbed at the end for a tough loss. With both Jeremy and Dave** getting destroyed in their matches, we finished S501 down 5-1.

In Cricket, Fred / Meredith took the first game and managed a split, with Meredith throwing a C3 in the second game. Rich / Holly also managed a split, winning a hard-fought game in their opening match by out-pointing their opponents. In the final game, Nikki / Mindy** got mopped up like the floor under Patrick Ewing during a free-throw, and we lost Cricket 4-2. 

Jen** opened up D501 by getting her midget tossed in a 2-on-1 game. In the second game, Rich / Holly nearly came back, but couldn't manage to double out. In the final game, Fred / Meredith rolled over the competition, taking a much-needed 2 points for the Ship and making the final score 13-5. In the equally important intra-Ship competition, Fred's 2 wins moved him into the "wins" lead by 1, while the Ironman title remains up for grabs.

Props: 
Meredith - 327 AS points, 3 wins, in on 4 of the 5 points, and 1 hernia from carrying the entire team.

** For purposes of this recap, all losses have been fictitiously assigned to non-attending teammates. You got a problem with that?
