Thomas Reinke Explodes a 739 Game!
Thomas Reinke cracked the almost impossible-to-reach 700 level for the 2nd time in Club play when he scored a five bingo (TOECAPS, VELARIUM, RURALIST, MARTIAN and the highest scoring ever word played at our club, CANZONETS as a triple-triple on his way to a shattering 739-403 final game with brother Charles. Charles, by the way, also had a triple-triple, HOARDING, in that same game. Thomas, way back in June of 2008 achieved an even higher score, a 742 game which still ranks as the highest score ever recorded in all Wisconsin Club games. Andy Bohnsack is the holder of the only other 700 Club game in the state, a 702 total Andy reached in June of 2006. No player in the United States has ever recorded a third 700 game at club, so Thomas could indeed break that barrier as well. The question tonight (Friday, March 30th) is...did he buy a lottery ticket for the 600 million dollar "retire for life" event?
In other much less earth-shaking reporting, Shayla Dunn finished in 2nd in the Experts behind Thomas's 4-0 +565 night, Shayla turning in a 3-1 +325 outing. Shayla's big game was a opening 483-235 blow out with Leslie Seltzer. Shayla bingoed twice there, with ARENITE and CAVEATS. Just returned Richard Lauder finished 3rd at 3-2 +157.
Mary Becker contributed a 3rd triple-triple this night, with her high scoring INQUESTS for a respectible 194 points against Barb Besadny.
In the Intermediates, Harwinder Dowd went undefeated with a 3-0 +252 night. Harwinder played four bingoes in her three games, two (RAISING, SHALLOW) in her high game of 372-275 with Sharlie Miura.
2nd Place in Intermediates went to Sue Goldstein at 3-1 +26, and 3rd was awarded to June Scott at 2-1 +19.
