The Pirates head to Pender Lanes on December 12 to face off with TC Thunder.
Only the Lady Pirates would have a duel, due to the fact with one of the Pirates being gone sick that day without having three competitors, the minimum to be able to bowl, the Pirates would have to forfeited but to get extra practice for both teams engaged in a friendly scrimmage against each other.
Jaren Hergert was enjoyed the friendly scrimmage because he shot his best scores ever with a 202 and 179. Aiden Kemnitz also had a good day throwing with a 140 and 151, but both coaches noticed that Kemnitz need to work on his 10 pin pick up because his scores could of be even high if he had covered a few more of them.
