Tuesday night at Electric Bat was a very solid league night with a little bit of everythingβwins, frustrating balls, big comebacks, a great song list on my Spotify, and a whole lot of pinball. π
There were 90 players in the match, and I finished the night with 23 league points.

π° Round 1 β Black Knight
π₯ 1st Place β 7 points


Started the night with a win on Black Knight. Not a bad way to kick things off! π₯

π¦ΈββοΈ Round 2 β Avengers: Infinity Quest
π₯ 2nd Place β 20,613,930 β 5 points
π₯ Louis Rulon β 41,617,010
π₯ Christy Kohtz β 20,613,930
π₯ David Whitt β 13,490,430
4οΈβ£ Andre Gierczynski β 10,046,770


Steady progress through all 3 balls was the highlight for me. I got the Skill Shots, several modes started,Β thor multiball, and the machine was showing that I was working toward the Hawkeye multiball.
Not a win, but a solid second-place finish.

π³ Round 3 β Strikes and Spares
π₯ 3rd Place β 89,630 β 3 points
π₯ Dakota Jeane β 155,260
π₯ Jason Barre β 101,940
π₯ Christy Kohtz β 89,630
4οΈβ£ Robert Rowlands β 67,630


This one hurt. π
Ball 1: 61.4K β all the center rollovers, 2 saucers, lots of spinners.
Ball 2: 74.4K β more spinners and rollovers.
Then Ball 3 happened.
I finally lit the spinners. I was all excited, trying to catch the ball so I could actually take advantage of them…
β¦and the ball went straight down the center like a rocket. π
No flipper. No save. No chance.
If I had gotten that ball onto a flipper, I could have started working those spinners and potentially blown up the score.
Instead, it was 89.6K and 3rd place.
Pinball giveth. Pinball taketh away. π

It wasn’t pretty, but I kept clawing my way up the leaderboard. π

π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯
Five rounds. Five podium finishes.
No fourth-place finishes. No disaster round. Just a very steady night of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 2nd, 3rd.
And because apparently 85.9K on Solar Ride wasn’t allowed to be the final word, I went back and played a revenge game afterward. πβοΈ

That’s pinball. Sometimes you get the big multiball. Sometimes you light the spinner and immediately watch your ball disappear down the middle.
But tonight, I kept fighting for every point.
