He ran off another 6 wins including a score of 115 – 32 against Janet Hocking. In his 8th game, bidding to be an octochamp he lost by just 7 points, they key word being the invalid mistrued ☓ in round 12, which made it impossible for him to win on the conundrum. Baines did return however as the #7 seeds come the series finals, and faced James Hurrell. The game was tight from the start and it eventually led to a crucial conundrum. It was Baines that buzzed in with BOULEVARD first to claim a 100 – 83 victory. Baines' points total (758) would stand as the highest point total of a non-octochamp for more than ten years until Philip Aston's appearance in Series 78.
