After a week off the tour returned to a nice turnout at HiLine Lanes where we had 119 entries, paid out $7,654,00 and saw the Cut-Line drop to below 900. 

24 bowlers were on the Cash List, including the well represented ladies who occupied THREE of the Top FOUR Spots with two more in the 9th (Karol Knight) and 22nd (Jessica Davidson) spots! Karol also took the top spot in the scratch game pot with a 300 game, earning herself another$145.00. 

Virginia Aguilar led after the first two squads with a 996 series, finishing 4th...This was her 2nd consecutive Top Four finish at HiLine as she was 3rd back in February.  

Ashley Kochel recently shared with the world that she was expecting a baby boy in a few months and being six months along didn't stop her from being one of just three to break 1000 Saturday. In fact, she was just 13 pins from earning her 3rd title as she earned $501.00. 

Cal Fisher finished 2nd this week, spoiling the 'all- female' podium, finishing just NINE pins shy of what would have been win #6, including an Elite Tour win in 2012. Cal earned $992.00 and is now just $325 shy of $30k for career earnings on Tour. 

With Margie away bowling in the state tourney,Donna Columbo showed up this week 'mainly' tohelp Lynn out at the Check-in table. She wasn't really feeling well enough to bowl and had just come from the doctor's office due to some sort of virus, but forced herself to enter in the 1st squad and her results were reflective of how she felt as she shot 827 and returned to help Lynn check in the 2nd & 3rd squads. With some encouragment from Ashley, Karol & Lisa Seifert, she reentered the final squad and got herself lined up nicely and dug deep for the energy to shoot 1021, edging Cal for her 3rd career win! She used her Storm 'Physix' ball, drilled up by the folks over at Secoma Lanes. The win netted her$1,715.00 including her scratch pot take and she said she'd be saving it for her next vacation! Although not feeling well, Donna was elated and we really appreciate her for helping us out Saturday, despite her not feeling well. She wanted to thank Karol, Ashley, Cal & Lisa and added "After shooting that 190 w/hdcp in the first game, I became calm and focused." That's when she lit it up, firing 270,294 & 267 to finish the day!  Impressive! Congrats Donna! 

Additional 'shout out' to Mark Hitchcock who,due to injury a couple of years ago, had to start bowling left handed...Mark was a solid right handed bowler before the injury and recently shot over 600 in league for the the first time as a lefty.  Mark was on the Cut Line this week for the 24th spot!  

Next week we begin our Summer schedule which means there will be FOUR squads as we head to Skyway...The change this year is that we will be starting earlier so please take note of the squad times: 11:00, 1:00 re-oil 3:30, 5:30
