For the third week in a row, a first-time 300 game was rolled at Echo Lanes. This time it was Tim Brandt of the Echo 65ers league.
As it so often happens, Tim had just purchased a new ball and was trying it out for the first time in league competition and the result usually ends up to be one of the best series a bowler ever rolls.
Brandt followed up his perfect game with a 724 series to finish a memorable night. All of you who have not turned in a 300 game should hang in there. It could be you next week.
Russ Osier of the Classic League turned in the high series in the ABC division with a 781 series that included games of 268, 257, and 256.
Mike Matyas almost added another 300 to his list of prior perfect games with a near miss 299. Loren Stanton topped all senior bowlers for the week with a 661 series and 234 game in the Thursday league.
