1st Thomas Reinke bounced back from a 1-3 record the previous week to go 1-3 +141. He saw the most success in a two-on-one game where he defeated Charles Reinke 484-396 and Peter Schmiedicke 488-426. Against Charles, Thomas had the Collins-only bingo of TRENISE#, in addition to TRAVELED and the nine-letter ARRESTIVE. Meanwhile, against Peter, Thomas got down PLEDGOR and MUTATION. Thomas' single loss was another matchup against his brother, where he disappointingly failed to crest the 300-point mark, losing 295-442. And I thought people said Collins was the higher-scoring dictionary?
2nd Sara McLaughlin went 2-1 +156, good enough to clinch a much-sought-after writeup appearance. Her two victories both came against Sue Goldstein: the first was won by a score of 389-282, despite Sue's find of SWABBED, while the second was unquestionably in the "rout" category, with Sara winning 488-245. Sara bingoed three times in that latter win: VAULTED, LOANING, and BROWSING. A 279-473 loss to Peter Schmiedicke, sandwiched by those two wins, wasn't as much fun, but may have been necessary to prevent Sara's ego from expanding unchecked.
