1st Bryan Benwitz came back with a vengeance after a rough 1-3 outing last week, finishing 4-0 +513 and restrengthening his already firm hold on the #1 spot in the yearly standings. His first game saw him play more bingos (3) then he did all of last week (2), and the result was a 477-357 win against Helen Flores. After a tough 356-345 slog against Dennis Lloyd, Bryan went on a bingoing frenzy against Charles Reinke, playing DILATOR, ANGELICA (later extended to ANGELICAL), MIDLIFE, and OVERTART in a 530-411 win. Not content with just a single 500-point game, Bryan repeated the feat in the final round, beating Sara McLaughlin 522-259 with bingos of WAIVING, CURTNESS, and EARNERS.
2nd Thomas Reinke was limited to a lower-than-usual six bingos across four games, but still performed well, going 3-1 +188. He was held bingoless in round one as he lost to Charles Reinke 419-456, his hopes of a perfect night smashed like a delicate flower bud under the blind idiocy of a bumbler's misplaced footstep. In round two, Thomas bounced back with a 464-362 win against Sara McLaughlin, playing FAERIES to Sara's DRONERS. The pace of bingoing was again subdued as Thomas butted heads with Dennis Lloyd; their game ended at 355-342 with each player getting one bingo (Thomas: CARINATE; Dennis: ETESIANS). Things fell into place in the fourth and final game as a rematch against Charles was an easy 467-357 win for Thomas, no doubt spurred by four bingos: OLEFIANT#, TRENDIES, GOORALS, and LISTEES.
