Levittown, NY: Justin Kampf loves home cooking! Justin, who runs the pro shop at Levittown Lanes, won the LIGBT house shot event at Levittown Lanes on Sunday. Justin defeated Mike Cangelosi, Middle Village, NY 252-240 to earn the $1,000 top prize. While Mike earned $600 for second, left hander Jason Nicholas, Wantagh, NY finished third with a 210 worth $400. Rounding out the top 4 was senior Gary Paulsen, Massapequa, NY with a 207 worth $300.
The final shootout was an up and down match. Gary, who was getting the most handicap, was the early leader but splits in the middle of the game ruined his championship dreams. Jason could never put together a string of strikes which ended his trophy quest. Mike and Justin were tied in the 6th frame but when Mike opened and Justin through 4 strikes in a row, the match was over and Justin captured his third LIGBT title in the past 6 months.
