Mike Litchfield wins NAT one-ball tournament; Tom Hedding throws perfecto

Congrats to Mike Litchfield for winning the Northeast Amateur Tournament’s special one-ball tournament today at Westgate Lanes. The concept was simple: One ball, and only one ball, of the bowler’s choice was to be used for the whole tournament, including for first ball and all spares. At the end, Mike defeated DJ Jones by a score of 500-445 (with handicap) in the two-game final match. Henry Webber, Shawn Hagan, Matt Richard, John Hayes Jr., Tom Hedding, Hakim Emmanuel, and AJ Voisine were the other Westgate bowlers cashing.

Tom Hedding also had a perfect game in the tournament, thrown using his plastic skull ball (trust me, it moves left when he throws it for a strike). Henry Webber added a 299 game, and Anthony Allen a 297. There was also a score of note thrown by a woman, that being Linda Dembro with a 280 game; the game was the second game and had the last 10 strikes, which won her the tournament’s strike jackpot worth around $700.

Congrats to all! 🙂
