So last night I was called in to sub.  I was a little apprehensive as the week prior I did not exactly perform up to my ability.  Little did I know that last night would be the night I achieve my all time high score.  My first game started well.  I had a good shot to the pocket.  Strung a few strikes in a row, made SPARES which hasn't been an easy task for me this year only being a part time bowler.  But came up light in the 10th frame to leave a washout.  First open of the night ending my game with 228.  God it came up light - was it me?  Did I throw a bad shot or were the lanes changing.  SO the start of the second game I went with my gut and moved out still coming up light.  So I kept moving (adjusting left 5 boards which is a huge move for me being a lefty) and once again found the strike pocket in the 6th frame and ran them out for a 231.  Staying with my shot I continue to run the next 11 strikes.  I wasn't thinking much about it until the 10th and man did I start shaking.  My 12th ball was freaking me out.  The thought running through my head was could this really be happening.  Could this be the night?  Unfortunately I am saving myself for another time.  I came up light and left an 8 count.  It's all good because everyone was so amazing.  I won a $200 gift certificate for the center's pro shop which is really going to come in handy.  My daughter needs a new pair of bowling shoes and that is exactly what she will get.  I am so thrilled that I not only had my first 298 beating my prior high game of 290 (and no I didn't have a spare in the first frame) but I also beat my prior high series of 721 with a 757.  YEA ME!!!
