Stats for May 28, 2025
1st Thomas Reinke decisively prevailed over all challengers with a 5-0 +488 record. On a night where all of his game could be viewed as "successes", he had the most success against regular Collins sparring partner Mark Kenas, as Thomas won both of their games by impressive margins, 517-413 and 529-364. In those two games, Thomas buried Mark in a veritable mudslide of bingos, eight of them to be exact: REBORING, PALATED#, DENOTES, BEDOUIN, BISCOTTO, SCANNERS, WEENIEST, and HAULMIER. In between those two games, Thomas picked up two wins as part of a two-on-one match, defeating Lynda Finn 433-344 and Ron Malzer 422-411. Thomas finished his flawless evening with a lopsided 438-318 win over Andy Bohnsack, where Andy's COENAMOR and CUTESIER were offset by Thomas' PIEPLANT and STELLAR.
2nd Bryan Benwitz went 3-1 for the fourth straight week (not a bad pattern to fall into by any means), this time with a spread of +164. He managed a close round-one win against Ron Malzer, playing SEEDIER to Ron's GUTTERED. His next game was more "typically Bryan" as he easily dispatched Richard Lauder, 435-267. Richard played STAINERS, but couldn't get much else going as Bryan laid down IDOLISE, FRESHMAN, and WAGONERS. A 321-418 loss to Charles Reinke dashed Bryan's ever-present goal of going undefeated, but he recovered to end the session with a 431-362 win against Lynda Finn. Lynda got down INSNARER, but Bryan's bingo mojo (bojo?) returned as he found three bonus plays: SOOTHED, AIRDATE, and CARNIES.
3rd Charles Reinke finished at 3-2 +348. Unlike his brother, who had much success in Collins games against Mark Kenas, Charles had no such luck; both of his losses were to Mark. Despite a low-probability find of MISKICK, Charles lost game one of the series 403-467, overwhelmed by Mark's NERITES#, LEIPOAS#, and AMNIONS. Mark had three more bingos, CUTLETS, SEXTILE, and HOOTIEST, in a 481-443 rematch win; Charles had USERNAME to minimize the damage. However, a two-on-one set in the first round gave Charles a total of 353 spread points (480-340 vs. Andy Bohnsack and 494-281 vs. Helen Flores), so he had some wiggle room to lose games in later rounds. Charles also played the word of the week, FEMINAZI (a militant feminist) in a 418-321 victory against Bryan Benwitz.
