Match #1 – New World Order – 27, Carolina Swag – 13

2070. That’s a strange number. It’s usually good with scratch (Patrick Keiffer’s 697, Ryan Ciminelli’s 696 (Yes, that one), and Ken McNeely Jr.’s 677). But it’s also usually bad with handicap (despite Chris Bracken’s 709, his other 2 teammates shot a combined 123 pins under average), which allows Carolina Swag to lose the series by 132 and the match by 45.

Kevin Ritter (257/254/726) and Randy McWilliams (275/717) hit 7’s and Adam VanFleet chips in a 680 for the NWO, who may be starting up a new trend? As long as they avoid 2070, that is.
