With only four players hitting the lanes for Week 5, Sunset Forever did the unthinkable, racking up 3 team points and scoring a probable slot in next week's league playoffs. Randy Harlow came to play replacing fallen stalwarts Dan Halos and Joey Johnson. Likewise, Rachel Chen, Alexis Rush, and Scott Muoio stepped up and did just enough to eek out a Game 1 victory and Total Pin Count win. Six Balled Monster was not to be denied, sporting their knit caps and joining Sunset Forever in round after round of Vitamin C Shots (don't ask!). Muoio rolled a mighty 180 in the first game securing the victory but was shockingly outdone by Six Balled Monster's Grant who rolled a 212 in game 2. Ridiculous!

All in all it was a glorious evening, a ton of fun, and another step in the right direction for good times in Seattle. And not only did Sunset Forever score a hard earned victory, but they got invited to a pig roast in the process. Yum!!

With the victory Sunset Forever inches closer to a playoff spot and is left to watch the scoreboard wondering who they will face in next week's playoffs. We can only hope the whole team shows up with their A-game and that the Ides of March are in their favor. But hey, if not, we can always get the other team drunk. That always seems to work.
