Bowling hall of famer on a roll
Dave Pendlebury is enjoying what is arguably his best year in the Niagara 5-Pin Mixed Pro League.
The Niagara 5-Pin Hall of Famer is currently the men’s high average leader as well as being on a team that has only lost once so far this season with a week to go in the season’s first segment.
Pendlebury kept things moving in the same direction as he again had the best individual performance of the week, rolling a fantastic 846 (266, 297, 283) to lead the Dale Mellway Life Insurance Magic to a 2-1 win over the Reggie’s Renovations Inc. Hammerheads.
Pendlebury was helped along by Paul Asselin’s 727 (265, 269) and Brad Gaudreau, who chipped in with 680 (237, 258).
The Hammerheads replied with Valerie Vallee’s best output of the season: 788 (221, 348, 219). Her 348 is the highest women’s single so far this season.
Tyler Wendel got back on track tossin a sizzling 800 (272, 266, 262) set to spark the Lakeside Electrical Lightning to a 2-1 win over the Oh Canada Eh Dinner Show
Town Criers.
Adam Eckhardt, with 650 (246, 206); and John Wendel, who was right behind with 645, also had a hand in the win.
The Town Criers answered with Brad Maurice, who lit up the lanes with a solid 761 (324, 246). Rob Fisher followed closely with 746 (309, 237) and Kile Robins checked in with 673 (266, 221).
The Scorecard Harry’s Half Pints took two of three from the Oh Canada Eh Dinner Show Canucks.
Chris Disher took the reins for the Half Pints, rolling a steady 756 (263, 228, 265), while Shawn Pellizari contributed 680 (224, 235).
The Canucks shot back with Chantal Papineau’s 618 (203, 216. Sarah Stevens added 583 (252).
Rounding out last week’s action was the Wine Place Whiner’s 2-1 victory over the Ontario Street Boston Brutes — by only 38 pins.
Rob Macdonald had the hot hand for the Whiners, with a stellar 731 (269, 255). Jeff Stevens chipped in with 681 (216, 288) and Mickey Pikor added 642 (257, 213).
The Brutes fought back with Jordan Gravelle’s 731 (247, 210, 274), Tim Dixon’s 671 (221, 271) and Brian McFarlane’s 658.
