Garden City, NY:  Bobby Wunsch, East Meadow, NY won his second LIGBT title of the season by shooting a 249 handicap game which defeated 2 other shootout finalists. Finishing second with a 226 was Denis Mendelson, Levittown, NY who earned $500. Third place went to Maria Lucente, Elmont, NY who rolled a 219 worth $300. A total of 21 bowlers made the finals which paid out $3,800.

The final shootout was dominated by Bobby Wunsch who started the match with 6 strikes out of the first 7 frames. Although he didn’t throw a strike after the 7th frame Bobby coasted to a 23 pin victory. The real competition was for second place as both Denis and Maria were within 1 pin of each other in the 8th frame. Both filled all of their frames the rest of the game but Maria has some low first ball counts which cost her 6 pins in wood resulting in a 3rd place finish.

The AMF Garden City tournament drew a nice crowd of 98 bowlers. Kegel’s 39 foot “Winding Road” pattern was put down and the scores were moderate all day. The cut score in the 1pm squad was 664 & 682 in the 3pm squad. High handicap series went to Maria Lucente with a 754.
