Stan Lewis & Jon Hester win Bay State Open doubles in Somerset; Hester bowls 300

As reported in the above Facebook post, Pepsi league teammates Jon Hester & Stan Lewis (L-R in photo) won the Bay State Open’s first match-play doubles event Saturday at AMF Somerset Lanes, defeating Graham Eng & Kris Tam by a score (with handicap) of 504-452. The video of the final match will be below:

As also noted in the post, Jon Hester threw a 300 game in their semifinal match, which was also captured live on Facebook for the first time by the Bay State Open. That will be in the video below:

Congrats guys! 🙂

Ed Ashbaugh bowls 814 in Hyannis

You can make a safe assumption that the David Smith Memorial Classic league in Hyannis is the best tenpin league on Cape Cod. Here’s how I’ll back that assumption up: I’ve mentioned Dave Kullas’ scores in that league before. Now, Ed Ashbaugh, Dave’s teammate in the Pepsi league, joins him, as he had 256-278-280 for an 814 last night in that league. Nice bowling! 🙂

Danny Gauthier bowls 300/800, Adam Johndrow 300 in BBA Holiday Doubles

There were a couple of scores from yesterday’s Brockton Bowling Association Holiday Doubles tournament, the biggest one being a 300-265-235 performance by Danny Gauthier. While he didn’t get an 800, Adam Johndrow also had a 300 game, and we got video of that, which is below:

Congrats guys, and we hope to have full tournament results posted soon.

Darrell Guertin wins year-end SEMBA at Westgate

As noted in the above post, Darrell Guertin won a close 207-204 final match with 1999 ABC/USBC Masters champion Brian Boghosian to come away with the title in SEMBA’s year-end event last Sunday at Westgate Lanes. Of 26 qualifying bowlers (needed 4 SEMBA tournaments in 2017), 23 came out to bowl, with SEMBA taking 12 out of qualifying. Lane condition was Kegel Broadway on one lane of a pair, Route 66 on the other.

The post also mentions John Kirker’s 300 game, the second in SEMBA’s brief history, and I had a video, but decided against using it due to extenuating circumstances.

Ryan Yelle rolls 300/805 in Westgate Mixed

I’m not sure if he’s had 300 games here in tournaments (or what is now the Pepsi league), but two-time association Bowler of the Year and Hall of Famer Ryan Yelle had his first one in the Westgate Mixed league last night. Mark Condon recorded the video below for Snapchat, which Sean Richard arranged to have sent to me:

Congrats Ryan! 🙂

Update: An updated standing sheet showed that Ryan Yelle’s 300 game was also part of an 805 series, but the scores were removed from the scoring system by the time I made my inquiry. If the other two games can be determined, I’ll update this.

Update: The three games were 247, 300, and 258.

Stephen Major bowls 300 in His & Hers

Stephen Major’s first season as an adult bowler now includes a 300 game, as he posted on Facebook that he had one last night in the His & Hers league. The post included a video by Kevin Thibeault, but, not being sure if I have permission, I’m not sharing it; this post will be updated if I get it.

Update: Stephen gave me permission to use the video (Kevin recorded it on Stephen’s phone), so it is below:

Good bowling! 🙂

Brian Pinard & John Doran win NAT doubles at Westgate; Chuck Paige shoots 800, Sean Richard 300/804

The Northeast Amateur Tournament posted on their Facebook page that Brian Pinard & John Doran won their handicap doubles event yesterday at Westgate Lanes after defeating Westgate bowlers Chuck Paige & Matt Richard, 448-442 (with handicap), in the final match. Among the other teams qualifying for head-to-head match play were Sean Richard & Jim Ferguson, AJ Voisine (with partner Jayme Silva), Ed Grossett & Mike “Sensae” Reed, and Stan Gibbs & Stephen Major.

In qualifying, Chuck Paige put up a 245-287-268 effort for 800 on the button, which was his first 800 series, and Sean Richard posted 279-225-300 for an 804. Sean’s 300 was his 93rd, and my video of the last strike is below:

In that game, Sean teamed with Jim Ferguson for a 558 doubles game, over the USBC team score reporting threshold.

Congrats all around! 🙂
