Shirley Major rolls 740 series in Thursday Handicap Doubles

Shirley Major got help from a 259 game to post a 740 series last Thursday night in the Thursday Handicap Doubles league. As a factoid for those who don’t usually follow Brockton area bowling, Shirley once held the women’s state record three-game series (it’s on a plaque on the back-end wall, but I forgot the score…it is over 800, however).

Congrats Shirley! 😀

Patriots league notes: Trent shoots 290; Rosenberg converts 7-9

A couple of messages from the Thursday night Patriots league greeted me when I came in to practice today:

  • This past Thursday, Mike Trent threw an 11-in-a-row 290 game, which I can only assume happened with a spare in the first frame and “running the table” the rest of the way. Congrats Mike! 😀
  • Also this past Thursday, David Rosenberg made good on a conversion of the 7-9 split (which is a lefty’s 8-10, though it’s possible for a right-hander to leave a 7-9, as well), which is believed to be the first 7-9 ever converted at Westgate Lanes. It is estimated that the odds of converting a 7-9 or an 8-10 are approximately 100,000:1, so congratulations to David, as well! 😀

Tom Hedding shoots 300 game in Adult/Junior

With only two other leagues running at Westgate Lanes this summer, I’ve been able to keep a closer eye on the standings in those leagues, and, as a result, I have an honor score to report: a 300 game shot by Tom Hedding Thursday night in the Adult/Junior league. Tom has recently graduated from the youth ranks, and I believe this is his first honor score as an adult bowler. Nice shooting Tom! 😀
