Games of 188, 214 and 213 produced a 615 series, Ormsby just ahead of the 580 series from Kenzie Gill that included games of 197 and 208, Gill having shot a 639 series when the Warriors defeated Baldwinsville on Dec. 27.
Yilena Russell’s 180 in her 468 series allowed her to edge the 463 series from Sara Conover that included a 193 game. On C-NS’s side, Trinity Short shot a 169 on her way to a 425 series.
The boys match went in the opposite direction, C-NS able to handle Liverpool 7-0 led by Jacob Calabria, who recorded 10 strikes in a season-best 278 game that was part of a 676 series.
Tom O’Connell improved from 182 to 215 to 238 during his 635 series as Nehemiah Bachman (518 series) and Jonathan Artz (483 series) followed.
Liverpool’s Jackson Allen opened with a 256, and ended with a 588 series. Wes Lell shot 191 and 203 in his 576 series, while Zach Doing’s 191 opened a 557 set and Kyle Lake twice shot 171 in her 497 series.
A day earlier, it was Liverpool’s girls fighting past Fayetteville-Manlius 7-0 in its first match since the big Dec. 28 win over previously unbeaten Baldwinsville.
Gill’s 235 second game bridged games of 185 and 194 in a 615 series. Ormsby opened with a 187 in her 486 set as Russell posted a 185 during her 448 set. Samantha Estock led F-M with a three-game total of 556.
Liverpool’s boys had a different result, falling 5-2 to F-M, though Doing opened with a 184 in his 525 series and Lell had a second-game 212 in his 512 set. Adam Koss (545 series) and Colin Gunderson (508 series) led the Hornets.
Also bowling on Wednesday, C-NS swept West Genesee at Solvay Recreation Alley, the boys and girls matches both ending up as 5-2 decisions.
Calabria shot a 483 series for the boys Northstars, aided by Artz, who had a 456 set, though they trailed WG’s Alex Bigelow, who opened with a 199 and earned a 487 series.
In the girls 5-2 win, Celia Wood shot a 384 series, edging the series from Melody Schwartz (360), Short (356) and Ava Agostoni (349) but behind the 412 series from the Wildcats’ Lorelai Leskoske.
