Don't think I've seen bowling on here before . . .

I wonder if you couldn't crop the photo, or possibly zoom and reposition yourself so that the ball return is not in the foreground. It seems distracting, particularly with that orange ball in the gate.

Sundays are for bowling . . . or at least that is what ESPN tells me.

The biggest negative affect of the ball return isn't so much that it's in the frame, it's that it's catching most of the light from the flash, causing the true point of interest to be underexposed. This is a scenario where I would try to either recompose as previously suggested, or (my preference) go with no flash and a larger aperture (fast prime) to keep the shutter speed up. I would also watch your horizon. You fix that with cropping as well.

It's nice to see variety. Can't say I've seen bowling before and would certainly like to see more of this from you as you fine tune your settings. Keep posting them!
