JEDDAH, 30 November — The entry of Ed Karganilla into the assaulting cast prized the Amigos 2 keglers of an extravagant 5-0 victory over the former league-leader Lux Power Bowlers, thus paving the way to the former to pierce through the tenth-berth barrier moving up to ninth place after the 7th week of the 27th AFTBL at the Jeddah Bowling Center here.
Triggering a morale-boosting 204 scratch, which posed instrumental in Amigos’ 990-892 wracking of their opponents in the outset, less heralded Karganilla defused a 177 on the second canto then exploded a 234 on the last salvo to capitalize his 20-pin handicap per game and guided his team with 675 handicap series from scratch of 615. This rolling display of Karganilla spirited teammates Alex Flora, Danny Manriza, Joey Salvador & Wilson Triguerro to respond eloquently with separate scorching of 621, 551, 571 & 567. The 201 of Flora and 191 of Salvador contributed primarily on the 976-935 follow up of Amigos in plunging Lux Power in Game 2. As Karganilla slung a 234 and Flora planked a 200, the Amigos finished Lux off with a devastating 1019-919 on the last set.
Toto Lim, who got taped up by Danny Bautista’s 593, greatly insulated the defense of Lux with 596. But the with anemic coating from Paul Antiporda, Allan Sanoza & team captain Andy Erena, the bath soap makers failed to avoid this disastrous occurrence to relinquish league-leadership and moved to bridesmaid.
Malaysia Airlines team, captained by Jun Cabral, climbed from 6th to 4th spot after gaining 4 points over the Batterfey Vhoiz on a match recorded in a low settlement of 2495-2380, wherein the latter won the first game (776-879) and the former swept the last two sets at 880-791 & 839-710. Playing this Malaysia Airlines’ competitiveness-revival were Cabral, Chas Balisalisa, Randy Mata, Danny Cofreros & co-captain Luis T. Luna. Celebrating on Batterfey’s side for their first point ever in this conference were team captain Ben Maramot, Rodel Casabal, Ernie Mandilag, Nap Miranda, Ver Romano, Ace Saluna & Efren Sealmoy.
Despite of another cold outings of team head Ariel Urquia, who sidelined himself after two fluctuating games, Global Distribution enabled to upset Sarawat Green Farms on a lone-set victory that calculated an overall output of 2765-2638. Inflicting this synopsis to Global Distribution was their marginal win in Game 1 listed at 936-787 from the efforts of Rey Abaygar 209, Angel Decena 200, Jun Pilipina 181, Urquia 179 & Dante Calapatia 167.
