Lewis sets a furious pace in Scratch Doubles action

Hawk Lewis broke through for a sterling 715 series en route to a four-game total of 937 to set the pace in the Scratch Doubles last week. Lewis pounded out games of 255-247-213 for his 700 set and then added a 222 for his last game to highlight the action. Lewis has been on a hot streak lately with his second consecutive 900 set to bolster his average up to 205, good for second place behind Bill Brady's league leading 211. Lewis has elevated his Hot & Sweaty team into third place, just four games behind front-runners Bowlaholics in the tight race. Only 6 points separating the top five teams.

Brady followed Lewis with an 899 (200-226-237-236) with Clarence Heyward next at 836 (204-224-186-222), Chuck Schorr 823 (224-225-189-185), John Walton 821 (248-189-169-215), Roy Nygaard 819 (229-150-203-237), Jake Fulcher 803 (222-221-201-169), Jeff Toyne 802 (196-191-236-179) to round out the top hitters. Next came Andy Oswald 793 (203-233), Jerry Cotton 785 (212), Chuck Lather 765 (209-200), Heavy Scott 754 (202), Teresa Manning 752 (202), Mike Pernell 731 (203), Ron Culberson 730 (225), Mike Robinson 722 (221), Tom Yuhas 719 (226), Steve Dietz 716 (222), Matt Mihiylov 705 (198) to round out the top shooters for the night.

Strikes & Spares

•Jerry Lewis was the lone qualifier after the first cut in the Super Senior division of the 250 Masters Seniors from a field of 96 bowlers on June 7 in Augusta, Ga. HF Capps, Tom Yuhas, Karl Waldhauer and myself all failed to make the cut, but were there to cheer him on in his quest to advance to the field of 15. He failed to advance after his three-game set and we made an early exit from Augusta.

• The unofficial final results of the state tournament in Greenville showed Carolina Wings as the top Beaufort team with a 2,852 handicap score, which ranked them in 31st place among the 257 teams entered, followed by J Macs at 2,801 good for 52nd place and Dr. Tire with 2,781, good for 60th place.

• Phillip and Laura Anderson from the Monday Night Mixed are the proud parents of a son born on June 5. Congratulations to the new parents.

• Anthony Johnston from the Youth Bowers of Beaufort recently competed in the Tim Spencer Rice Scratch tournament and bowled very well, finishing in eighth place among 67 bowlers. This is the format they used: Bowl five games, then the field was cut in half, then bowl four more games and the field was again cut in half, then bowl head to head matches. Winners get 30 bonus points added to their score, then bowl a position round and then the top move on to bowl head to head for scholarship money. These are Johnston's scores in the first round: 185-195-194-265-195; round two: 235-234-207-204; head to head: 193 (win), 201 (loss), 216 (win), 157 (loss), 207 (loss), 247 (win). The next day, head to head scores were: 267 (win), 166 (loss), 168 (loss), 207 (loss), 237 (loss); position round: 195 (win). Stephen Dubatowka also competed, but failed to make it past the first round. Congratulations Anthony on a great performance.
