Bob Hamilton, Sean Richard throw perfect games

Two different perfect games to tell you about…

For the first, Bob Hamilton threw a perfect second game tonight in the Wednesday Summer Mixed League, and was actually threatening the house record after a 279 first game, but only threw a 200 third game (this may be corrected later in a comment) and only came away with a 779 series.

The second happened away from Westgate Lanes on Memorial Day, as Sean Richard had one in the Phat Doubles Tournament at AMF Silver Lanes.

Congrats to both Bob and “Seany Kash”! 😀

May 2012 Northeast Amateur Tournament notes

I was around for the end of the first squad and all of the second squad for the NAT today, but there were a couple of high scores by Westgate Lanes bowlers in the first squad. For starters, Hakim Emmanuel, on his birthday, had a 290 first game, but the squad belonged to Jason Sherwood, with games of 289, 254, and 269 for an 812 scratch and 851 handicap, making him the high qualifier. He told me it was his first 800, but the only thing I replied with, basically, was, “It’s too bad you can’t get your ring for it.” There was one other bowler I didn’t know (probably not a Westgate Lanes bowler) and I forgot his name who, averaging 141, ended his qualifying set with a 280; it was probably the game of his life.

April 2012 TNBA no-tap results

Below are the results of the no-tap singles tournament held on April 21 at Westgate Lanes, run by the TNBA Boston Bowling Senate:

  1. Eric Durden 923
  2. Lourine Brown 918
  3. Rich Brignolo 905
  4. Chris Major 867
  5. Henry Webber 858
  6. Chris Gunn 855
  7. Ernie Goodman 852
  8. Dennis Johnson 852

Of course, Ernie Goodman and Dennis Johnson split the 7th and 8th place prizes.

The reason for the honor score filing of this post is that Tom Hedding related to me that he bowled a natural 300 game in this tournament. Congrats to all who did well in this tournament.

Ed Roberts throws 816 set in team event of BBA Championships

Definitely the highlight of the third day of the Brockton Bowling Association championship tournament today was Ed Roberts in the team event, as he posted games of 258, 279, and 279 for an 816 series. His team, which also included Alex Aguiar, Gino Beniamino, and Vin D’Aleo, largely followed his lead, as they posted a second game of 998 (four-man team), and I’ll comment on their series tomorrow when I look at the leaderboard (provided I have wifi access, as I didn’t really have it today or I would’ve posted this sooner).
