So Cal Baker Shootout

champs Kyle King, Matt Jones, Darcie Staggs, Jimmy Hefley, & Ken McElvaney

    It was a 3-peat at almost 3 AM for Dahdoul Textiles, as the talented team of Kyle King, Ken McElvaney, Darcie Staggs, Jimmy Hefley, and Matt Jones won its third straight So Cal Baker Shootout, hosted by Canoga Park Bowl.

    As part of a marathon singles-doubles-team weekend, the event began at 9 PM with 12 baker-style qualifying games, followed by the top 12 teams playing in best 2-of-3 matchplay.  "El Teamo Name-o" qualified numero uno, but got upset-o by the #9 seeded "2 Kevs, 2 Steves, and a Wes" in the round of eight, while #2 Dahdoul swept #5 Scott's Pro Shop.

    In the round of 4, Dahdoul kept rolling with a 2-0 win over #7 "The Power Rangers", while #4 "It Is What It Is" stopped "2 Kev's" run with a 2-1 squeaker that came down to the final frame of the 185-178 game three win.

    Baker is great in that it is a truly team form of bowling, and team chemistry was vital as the clock wound into the wee hours, the lanes dried out, and the thumbs fried out.  While the team of John Struckman, Kyle Duster, Jeremy Glover, and adults Matt Harris and Mike Villareal gave it all they had, the Dahdoul team was nearly flawless in a 2-0 win, and earned the three-peat.   Will the Dahdoul Textiles team outlast Dahdoul Textiles itself?  Find out next year when they go for four!
