2nd Half starts with 7

That's right folks! We went all seven games. It was a tough fight, all the way to the last puck. But who won? You'll just have to keep reading to find out.

Our first game of the second half was against the VFW Flyers, who looked very spiffy in their new team shirts. Very cool logo Flyers!

So first up, we had some handicap changes on our team. Margaret went from a 0 to a 1, Dave from a 2 to a 1, Steve from a 1 to a 0 and Elaine went from a 1 to a 2. We also added a few shooters - Nigel "Taco", Lynn and Mark! Welcome to the BarFlies guys! See you next week! Anyways, let's get to the games!

Game 1 - Match Record 0-0
 First up for the BarFlies, Sandy and Bert, who went up against Carl and Teresa. Yes, you read that right, Sandy! I believe this is the first time she has played this season. We started with 3 handicap points and Sandy added 2 to that right off the bat. Except for two frames, Sandy scored every time she shot! The board was a little bumpy for Bert, stealing two great shots from her and helping Teresa's pucks inch further down the board. Our ladies couldn't hold on and lost a tough one 13-19.

Game 2 - Match Record 0-1
Dave and Lexie played the second game against Bob and Adolph Jr. and had to give up one handicap point. This game was a nail biter! After scoring her first point, Lexie made it 4 to 1 and then Dave and Lex went on a tear. Together in the next 3 frames, they scored 11 points and went up 12 to 4 by the 5th frame. But Adolph Jr. smacked us back to Earth when he scored 8 points in the 6th frame against Lexie. But the BarFlies held on and took this game 15-13. Woohoo!!

Game 3 - Match Record 1-1
Third up for the home team (yes us!) we played Steve and Margaret against Fred and Peggy. No handicap points for this game! Peggy and Fred got out to an early lead but Margaret stepped it up and evened the playing field. After 7 frames we were down 3-8 and in the 8th frame, both Steve and Margaret turned up the heat. They went on a scoring binge totaling 13 points to the Flyers 3 to take the game 16-11.

Game 4 - Match Record 2-1
Dave and I played the fourth game against Carl and Alma. After giving up one handicap point, neither Dave or I could get going. Dave scored in the fifth frame to make it 1 to 8. All right! No skunk for us! I didn't score until the 8th frame to make it 4 to 10 but that would be the last of the BarFly points. We lost this one 4-17. Yuck. Time to rally!

Game 5 - Match Record 2-2
And the BarFlies select (drum roll please) Lexie and Margaret! Their opponents were Dee and Adolph Jr. and after the Flyers got one handicap point Margaret and Lexie each scored a point in their first frames. But Dee and Adolph J. weren't going to go down without a fight and scored 6 points over the next 3 frames. This game went all the way to the 19th frame (the score sheets only have 20 frames). After the wax settled, the BarFlies had lost another one 8-15. Ah crap. Now what?

Game 6 - Match Record 2-3
Now what do we do? The Flyers put up Alma and Joanne and we put up myself and Steve. We had to start off in the hole at 0-4 but we wasted no time getting on the board. Steve and I quickly took the lead and by the 8th frame we had won 17-6. Game 7 here we come!

Game 7 - Match Record 3-3
Again... now what?  Lexie and Margaret get the call for the final game and go up against Peggy and Adolph Jr. No handicap points for this game. Peggy starts it off, scoring a point and Margaret follows it up with 2 points. Another 2 points for Peggy. This game could take all night! The scoring goes back and forth and forth and back. So who won it all? The BarFlies did! Margaret and Lexie won the final game 17-8! Phew!!

What a tough match! But we pulled it out! So now we've got a new winning streak on our hands. Two wins in a row! Go BarFlies! Let's keep it up!!
