5- pin bowler ends ’ 17 on a roll

- JEFF STEVENS

Rob Fisher has already topped the 900 plateau this season in the Niagara 5- Pin Mixed Pro League, rolling a 912 earlier in the year.

However, Fisher ended his 2017 on the lanes in fine fashion, tossing a superb 902 ( 275, 234, 393) series to lead the Oh Canada Eh Dinner Show Canucks to a 3- 0 blanking of the Scorecard Harry’s Half Pints.

Fisher was helped along by Shawn Pellizari’s 719 ( 222, 264).

Not to be outdone, the Half Pints’ reply was led by Matt Kowalyk who rolled 839 ( 230, 204, 405).

Kowalyk’s 405 and Fisher’s 393 are the top two singles in the league so far this season.

In another whitewashi­ng, the Oh Canada Eh Dinner Show Town Criers took all three games against the Wine Place Whiners.

The Town Criers were led by P. J. Cole’s 740 ( 228, 307), Chris Disher’s 720 ( 231, 232, 257) and Fern French who rounded out the scoring with 704 ( 239, 242).

The Whiners shot back with John Wendel’s 683 ( 256, 214) and Rich Vassos’ 644, 224, 237).

The Crossfire Wrestling Piledriver­s were also in a giving mood as they delivered a 3- 0 shutout over the Dale Mellway Life Insurance Magic.

The Piledriver­s were sparked by Chantal Papineau ( 290, 259) and Brian McFarlane ( 248, 302), who tossed matching 743 sets, while getting help from Mike Owen’s 721 ( 225, 280).

The Magic answered with Joanne Durocher’s 662 ( 268, 202) and Dave Pendlebury who added 651 ( 246, 218).

In the evening’s final match, also the closest, decided by only 44 pins, the Reggie’s Renovation­s Inc.

Hammerhead­s shaded the Lakeside Electrical Lightning 2- 1.

Jeff Stevens paced the Hammerhead­s with 772 ( 280, 229, 263) and was aided by Frank Newman’s 743 ( 306, 240) and Wilma Vanderzwaa­g’s steady 729 ( 242, 230, 257).

The Lightning returned fire with Tyler Wendel’s 793 ( 296, 217, 280) and Norm Stup’s 639 ( 200, 245).
