The domination began with Andy Rathje starting out hot, just like last week. Only this time, Rathje upped himself with his new season high 279. This continued to push the other Brew Crew bowlers to understand what needs to be done. The team anchor, Paul Lauricella continued to dominate the lanes with is dynamic vision before he starts his approach. Lauricella continued to do what he did best and it showed as the lanes began to break down, making adjustments and understanding what to do and when.
Paul Lauricella's solid approach and adjustments lead to...
Yeah!
Andy Rathje on the other hand, faced a different fate. Following his 279 strike-a-thon, Rathje had to utilize something that he found to be strange, a piece of equipment known as a spare ball. In the photo below, you can tell he didn't look comfortable or even happy about the new concept of rolling a second ball in the same frame.

Fortunately, Rathje's confusion was short lived as Jeff Doruff lead by example with his multiple sting of 1 pin spare conversions.

As the third game came to a close, it was official that the Brew Crew finished the third quarter with 14 straight points in the win column. As Paul Lauricella put it, "It smelled the same as last week." after the Brew Crew took all 7 points in the second consecutive week. Lauricella's statement couldn't be more true. Everything they did right last week was repeated this week with the same "smell". They picked each other up, they made makeable spares, and most importantly, they didn't give the opposing team a chance to win in the 10th frame. It is scare what this team can do when they do all the little things. The only question is how consistently they can perform like this.
Brew....CREW!!!
