Rai Doblmeier dominates deaf tournament in NJ

Congrats to Rai Doblmeier of the Tuesday Scratch Sportsmen league, who, according to the Eastern Association of Deaf Bowlers, won scratch doubles and all-events, along with the scratch singles/doubles combo event and the Trimarchi Masters competition in their tournament held on May 4 & 5 at Brunswick Zone Carolier in North Brunswick, NJ. Rai averaged 236+ in his regular events, and Ray DiSanto informed me that it was around 250 counting his scores in the Trimarchi Masters.

I haven’t mentioned Rai’s deaf status before on this blog because I just considered him a good bowler, but I’ve been told he’s literally traveled the world competing in tournaments for the deaf, and this is the first big result from one of those that I’ve heard about.
