Did you happen to catch the Pro Bowlers play this past weekend? We were treated to not only 1 broadcast, but 3. Friday and Saturday nites, and Sunday afternoon. Talk about heart breaks tho. On Saturday nite’s telecast, Bill O’Neil was about 46 or so pins ahead, and all but had the match sewn up, when he got at least 2 opens in the end of the game. All he had to do, was to mark in the 10th. He throws a split, was unable to convert it, and Ryan Schaefer comes from behind and advances to the finals. Sunday afternoon’s show would be just about as bad. Mika Koivuniemi is pitted up against Norm Duke. The lead goes back and forth, with Mika leading in the 9th. Norm rolls 4 strikes in a row, making Mika get at least mark and get good count in the 10th. Mika gets 9 pins on his 1st ball, leaving the 10. Mika rolls the ball, it is heading for the pin, and falls into the gutter just short of it’s target. Mika falls to the floor in disbelief, as Norm takes the tile. After the match, as usual, Norm was the gentlemen. Felt sorry for Mika, and did not really want to talk about himself.
