route to the session high 800

series and Jose Guzman also

posted a 300 game in the

Thursday Doubles League at

Lodi Lanes.

Omar Henriquez came close

leaving one pin in the final frame

to finish with a 299 game and for

the women it was Linda Rose

FORT WAYNE, Ind. – After five

top-eight finishes, Professional

Bowlers Association Hall of

Famer Pete Weber finally broke

through to win his first PBA50

Tour title of the season by winning

the PBA50 Pro Bowl West Fort

Wayne Classic presented by

Ebonite.

Weber defeated fellow Hall of

Famer and PBA Tour telecast color

analyst Randy Pedersen of Orlando,

Fla., 259-207, in the title match at

Pro Bowl West, to also notch his

third career PBA50 Tour title.

Pedersen, trying for his second

career PBA50 Tour title, jumped out to the early lead

in the title match with the first three strikes, but ran

into trouble in the seventh frame when he missed the

2-10 split. Weber took control by the mid-point of the

match striking in seven of the first eight frames.

“We were all leaving a lot of corner pins so I

thought it was a good time to change to a different

ball for the final match,” said the 51-year-old Weber.

“The lane conditions were transitioning pretty quick-

ly and the ball wasn’t driving into the pocket like it

should so I went to a ball that hooked more and

revved sooner and it was the right

choice.”

With his win, Weber, who

recently won his fourth ESPY,

moved into second in the PBA50

Player of the Year race behind

Hall of Famer Norm Duke with

three tournaments remaining in

the season. Duke did not compete

in the Fort Wayne event.

“If you want to be the best, you

have to keep at it,” said the 37-

time PBA Tour winner and 2013

PBA50 Rookie of the Year. “I still

look at guys like Walter Ray

(Williams Jr.) and the other great

bowlers and that’s what keeps me going. I still love to

bowl and love to travel.”

In the all-Hall of Fame semifinals, Weber beat

Wayne Webb of Columbus, Ohio, 223-210, and

Pedersen defeated Johnny Petraglia of Jackson, N.J.,

207-192, to advance to the championship match.

Weber’s win marked seven of nine PBA50 Tour

tournaments this season which have been won by

PBA Hall of Famers. His previous best finishes this

season were second in the Miller High Life Classic

and Suncoast Senior U.S. Open.

PBA ADOPTS USBC’S “NO THUMB” RULEEFFECTIVE JAN. 1, 2015

The United States Bowling Congress is the national governing body of

bowling in the United States and as such, the PBA continues to adhere

to USBC equipment specifications. In a move to add greater clarity and

fairness to ball specifications related to bowlers not using their thumb

while delivering the ball, the USBC modified the specifications on

bowling ball gripping holes. This rule will take effect for USBC compe-

tition beginning Aug. 1, but, to avoid a change in the middle of the PBA

season, the effective date for this rule to be implemented during PBA

and World Bowling events will be Jan. 1, 2015.

Under the new rule, any thumb hole that is not used for gripping pur-

poses during the delivery would be classified as a balance hole. Bowling

balls are only permitted one balance hole.

The new rule can be found in the PBA Rule Book under the

“Resources” tab on pba.com Go to page 56, Rule 11.5.4 and see Rule

11.6 for non-compliance penalties.

2 SPORTS REPORTER August 6 - 12, 2014

ROCKFORD, Ill. - In a week where strikes were hard

to come by, Team USA member Shannon Pluhowsky

of Dayton, Ohio, stepped up and delivered one to

remember as she defeated Diana Zavjalova of Latvia,

225-212, in the championship match of the Bowling

Proprietors' Association of America Women's All-Star

Tournament.

Neither player had trouble getting to the pocket in

the finale at The Cherry Bowl, but carry was a chal-

lenge as it had been all week. Zavjalova clung to a

one-pin lead until a missed

2-4-8-10 split in the ninth

frame gave Pluhowsky a

chance to shut her out.

"In my mind, I wasn't

necessarily trying to strike,

because that's when you

over-think it and bad

things happen," said

Pluhowsky, a 31-year-old

left-hander who earned

$15,000 for the win. "I just

wanted to throw a good

shot, and I did that. Diana

bowled two great games

today and had one bad

frame. It could've gone

either way. She bowled

well all week."

Pluhowsky and Zavjalova battled for the top spot in the

standings throughout the 16 games of match play. The

two faced off in the final game of match play and again in

the position round, with Pluhowsky winning both meet-

ings to secure the No. 1 seed for the stepladder finals.

"The lanes weren't easy this week, and you didn't

need a lot of big games stay close," said Pluhowsky,

who also won the 2006 United States Bowling

Congress Queens. "I tried some different tricks to try

and make it carry better here and there, but I didn't

necessarily want to make too big of a move. I was for-

tunate to be able to win a lot of matches (14), and the

bonus pins were a big help."

Zavjalova struck in six of her first seven frames in a

236-207 semifinal win against Team USA member

Shannon O'Keefe of Arlington, Texas, and it looked

like that momentum might carry her to her first win

against Pluhowsky. But, as was the case throughout

the week, the 39-foot oil pattern was tricky to navi-

gate.

"The lanes have been really sensitive all week, and

even a small mistakes

turned out really

bad," said Zavjalova,

the 2013 USBC

Queens champion. "I

thought I threw it OK

in the ninth frame,

and I was surprised

that happened. I

thought it would

make it back because

I knew I had even

slowed down a little

bit."

O'Keefe's road to

the semifinal includ-

ed wins against three-

time U.S. Women's

Open winner Liz

Johnson of Cheektowaga, New York, and five-time

major champion Kelly Kulick of Union, New Jersey.

In her match against Johnson, O'Keefe struck eight

times on the way to a 237-175 victory, while Johnson

was in the pocket the whole game but managed just

one strike, which came in the eighth frame.

In the opening game, Kulick struggled early with

four opens in the first six frames and never got any

traction, falling 223-169.

The field at the BPAA All-Star included 75 bowlers,

who all bowled 18 qualifying games over three days,

before being cut to the top 16 players for 16

games of round-robin match play.

The Women's All Star Tournament, which

began in 1971, was the pre-cursor to Bowling's

U.S. Women's Open, which is on hiatus until

2015. This year's event showcased today's top

talent, highlighted the history of women's

bowling and celebrated the 40th anniversary of

formation of the Ladies Pro Bowling Tour.

Bowling's U.S. Open officially will return in

2015 after USBC and BPAA agreed to a three-

year deal that will see USBC operate and con-

duct the U.S. Open for men and women in

2015, 2016 and 2017.

As part of the agreement, USBC and BPAA

each will contribute at least $100,000 annually

toward operating the events. Further details

will be announced at a later date.

Shannon Pluhowsky Wins BPAA Women’s All-StarBy Matt Cannizzaro - IBC

ROCKFORD, Ill. - Paula Vidad

of Sun City, California, success-

fully defended her title at

Bowling's Senior Women's U.S.

Open with a 234-210 win against

United States Bowling Congress

Hall of Famer Tish Johnson of

Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Vidad, a

5 4 - y e a r -

old right-

h a n d e r ,

started the

title tilt at

The Cherry

Bowl with

three con-

s e c u t i v e

strikes and

struck on

the first

shot of her

final frame

to lock up

the green

jacket and $3,000 top prize.

"Earlier in the day, and even dur-

ing practice, I was leaving a lot of

weak 10s, so I knew I had to do

something," said Vidad, who also

won the USBC Senior Queens in

2011. "I decided to increase my

speed, which helped get the ball

down the lane a little better and

conserve some energy. It was

important to come out strong and

put some pressure on her."

Johnson was able to strike early

but couldn't carry late in the

finale. Since joining the senior

ranks, the left-hander has posted

second- and third-place efforts at

the Senior Women's U.S. Open

and a pair of runner-up finishes at

the USBC Senior Queens. Her

senior breakthrough was a win at

the National Golden Ladies

Classic in 2013.

On her way to the final,

Johnson capitalized on a couple

of breaks and made a key ball

change in a 220-166 win over

Lucy Sandelin of Tampa, Florida,

denying the USBC Hall of Famer

a third consecutive shot at the

S e n i o r

Wo m e n ' s

U.S. Open

crown.

with six

c o n s e c u -

tive strikes

and cruised

to a 254-

167 victory

over fellow

USBC Hall

of Famer Linda Kelly of Dayton,

Ohio.

The event featured a grueling

format on a challenging 39-foot

lane condition.

All 28 Senior Women's U.S.

Open competitors bowled 18

qualifying games over three days

before the field was cut to the top

eight for round-robin match play

Thursday morning.

Vidad initially struggled when

the lanes were freshly oiled this

week, but she used the long for-

mat as an opportunity to try some

different things. She also benefit-

ed from watching some of the

best women in the world, who

were competing simultaneously

in the Bowling Proprietors'

Association of America Women's

All-Star Tournament.

Home of many Men’s, Women’s and Mixed Leagues Excellent Junior Program and Adult-Junior Leagues

SEATTLE – Melanie Hannon, a sophomore at Fairleigh Dickinson University, has been awarded the PBA’s

Bill Welu Scholarship Award for 2014.

The Welu scholarship was established to annually recognize a college student who combines outstanding

bowling talents with academic excellence.

Hannon, of Cheektowaga, N.Y., has had a very productive year in 2014 earning NCAA and Northeast

Conference Rookie of the Year honors as well as First Team All-America honors bowling for the FDU

Knights. The 18-year-old also earned a spot on Junior Team USA 2015 as top qualifier in the U20 division of

the 2014 USBC Junior Gold Championships.

She was selected to the Dexter High School All-America Team in 2010-11 and in 2011 and 2012 was a Teen

Masters finalist. Locally, she was named the Greater Buffalo USBC Female Bowler of the Year in 2010, 2011

and 2012. She has been involved with the Greater Buffalo USBC Youth Leaders since 2007, serving as pres-

ident from 2010-2013. She received USBC’s Alberta E. Crowe Star of Tomorrow Award in 2013.

Among her other bowling accomplishments include three New York State Pepsi Tournament titles (2011,

2012 and 2013), 2011 North Pointe Singles Championship title, and a top finish of sixth in the Junior Gold

Championships which came in 2013.

“I’m very honored to win a scholarship where you know there are so many other great candidates who are

being considered for it,” Hannon said. “Bowling has been very important to me not only because of the les-

sons I’ve learned in the sport but what it has also taught me in life including the importance of qualities such

as teamwork, persistence and determination.”

Hannon, who is studying nursing at Fairleigh Dickinson, holds a 3.76 GPA and is a member of the honor

roll.

She will receive a $1,000 scholarship. To be eligible candidates must be amateur bowlers who are current-

ly in college (preceding the application date) and maintaining at least a 2.5/4.0 GPA or equivalent.

Welu, who passed away in 1974, was best known for his expert analysis alongside legendary ABC broad-
