ANDREW MIENKIEWICZ SURVIVES THE CHEETAH!

Posted On: October 21, 2024

E. Meadow, NY:  LIGBT’s Season 17 kicked off on Sunday at AMF E. Meadow with Sport Shot Series #1. Andrew Mienkiewicz won his 9th LIGBT title by defeating 17-year-old Jason Lam, Oakland Gardens, NY 258-231. Andrew earned the $1,000 top prize while Jason earned a $500 SMART scholarship for second place. Finishing in third was Mack Oakman, Melville, NY shooting a 196 worth $300. Rounding out the top 5 was 4th place finisher Devon Johnson, Brooklyn, NY with a 183 worth $250 and 5th place finisher Darcy Monroe, E. Meadow, NY with a 141 worth $200.

The lane pattern for sport shot #1 was the PBA Cheetah pattern. It surprisingly played very tough as scores were low all day. But Andrew, who shot a 492-scratch series in the first squad, found the line after he re-entered and made the finals with a 672-handicap series.

The final shootout was a 2-man race from the start. Jason started strong with a double but didn’t strike again until the 10th frame. Andrew missed a 1-pin spare in the 2nd frame but that seemed to ignite him and he threw a 4-timer to grab the lead over Jason in the 6th frame. Andrew secured the title with another late triple locking up his 9th title. Mack bowled well but had 3 opens in the middle of the game and settled for third place. Devon had 2 splits and couldn’t string strikes together. Darcy, one of the most consistent members of the club, had a rare bad game with 7 opens (5 were splits) and he never threw a strike.  

The LIGBT 2-squad sport shot tournament drew 59 entries, paid out $3,145 in prize money, and had 15 bowlers go to the cashing window. The side action awarded an additional $1,295 bringing the total event payout to $4,440.  

Scores to cash on the Cheetah pattern were 617 at noon and 636 at 2pm. The wildcard winner was Alex Padmore, Jamaica, NY with a 1,242 six-game series. High series of the day was shot by 4rd place finisher Devon Johnson with a 702 series in the 2pm squad.  

LIGBT’s next tournament is a handicap doubles tournament at AMF E. Meadow on Sunday, October 27th (noon start.) To view the results of the AMF E. Meadow sport shot event please visit www.ligbtour.com. The LIGBT is sponsored by Brunswick, Turbo, Many Styles of Bowling, WON Network, and Randi B. Siegle Attorney at Law.
