Mitchell reclaimed his title in July with a score of 1,062,800. This month, Steve Wiebe beat Mitchell’s score by hitting 1,064,500.

Tuesday, September 21, 2010 at 12:33 PMShould this really be news anymore? It’s like tennis. They’re jsut passing the score back and forwards. I get the feeling Bill mitchel has a stack of vhs tapes in his house labeled 1.3 million, 1.4 million, and so on and just picks up the next tape to release when his current record gets beaten.
