Week 12 of the Continental Bowling League saw some decisive victories reshape the top half of the standings, though the headline fixture between the league leaders and a mid-table rival was postponed.
The scheduled match between league leaders Nifty Rollers and seventh-placed Spicenix was postponed, meaning the top spot will remain unchanged for now. This handed an opportunity to the chasing pack to close the gap.
The second-placed Under Dawgs seized their chance by delivering the most comprehensive victory of the night, defeating ninth-placed Sunset with a dominant score of 24-3. This win ensures the Under Dawgs keep significant pressure on the postponed Nifty Rollers.
In another key matchup, the sixth-placed Invaders showed they are a force to be reckoned with, securing a massive 23-4 victory over the fourth-placed Astronauts. This result is a crucial statement win for the Invaders and creates a logjam in the top four, potentially pushing the Astronauts down the table.
The only tight contest on the night involved fifth-placed Cubs, who just managed to edge out eighth-placed New Hope with a narrow score of 14-13. The hard-fought victory keeps the Cubs firmly in the mid-table hunt.
Third-placed Odd Balls were not in action this week, as they had the bye. The results mean that the standings will be incredibly fluid once the postponed fixture and the Odd Balls’ matches are played, setting the stage for an exciting continuation of the season.
