Ontario singles 5-pin champion on a roll

Chantal Papineau is rounding into mid-season form in the Niagara 5-Pin Mixed Pro League.

The two-time defending Ontario ladies singles champion is currently leading the ladies high average category. That gap will continue to grow as she connected for the best individual performance of the evening, rolling 852 (233, 290, 329) to pace the Ontario Street Boston Pizza Brutes to a 3-0 sweep of the Reggie’s Renovations Inc. Hammerheads.

Jordan Gravelle helped her in the win with a solid 751 (225, 318, 208). Teammate Jeff Stevens was right behind with 750 (262, 249, 239).

In their win, the Brutes rolled the league’s highest team single (1,106) of the season. They were only five off the mark for the league-high team triple.
