Season 9 Week 3 is complete and 14 is the magic number!!

the hum of excitement buzzed through Canal St Deli and Arcade. It was league night—a battle for glory among the boldest pinball enthusiasts. Machines were polished, flippers were primed, and players were ready to tilt their way into pinball immortality.

The evening kicked off with a hearty dose of competitive energy. Dave Jones stepped up to the first machine like a seasoned warrior unsheathing his blade. His fingers danced across the buttons, nudging the machine just right to keep that ball in play. With each chime and light sequence, Dave racked up a score that left his competitors stunned. By the time he stepped back, a crowd had gathered, murmuring, "Is he even human?"

Not to be outdone, Porter Studebaker, portrayed with uncanny skill by Josh Simala, played this night as well. This wasn't just a game—it was art in motion. His precision shots lit up every challenge, his multi-ball prowess turning the table into a dazzling storm of flashing lights and booming sounds. When his run ended, the machine itself seemed to sigh in admiration.

Then came Greg West, the quiet force of the night. He didn't boast or posture—he let the flippers do the talking. His play was as smooth as butter on a hot griddle, seamlessly hitting jackpots and unlocking bonuses as if the table were conspiring in his favor. By the end, his score rivaled that of a seasoned pro, leaving onlookers wide-eyed.

As the night wore on, the competition only grew fiercer, with each player bringing their A-game. But when the final scores were tallied, it was clear: Dave, Porter, and Greg were the titans of the night, each finishing with a well-earned 14 points.

Canal St Deli and Arcade had once again proven to be the ultimate arena for pinball legends to rise.

With the machines cooling down and the players grabbing a celebratory bite, one thing was certain—this was a night no one would soon forget. The only question left: who will rise to the challenge next time?
