To say that Friday night’s PBA Shawnee Classic stepladder finals pair of 5-6 at FireLake Bowling Center was brutal might be an understatement.
The four players combined for 13 opens in three matches, including three pocket 7-10s on lane 6, which had a rack so bad it could be seen on the BowlTV telecast.
“Worst pair with worst rack,” Hall of Famer Chris Barnes commented on my Facebook page as the stepladder was in the semifinal match. “BowlTV picked the pair.”
