MOJAVE DOUBLES
champs DJ Sloan & Cortez Schenck, and James Wilson & Devyn Patalina
Two decorated bowlers teamed up to win scratch, while a handicap pair won their first titles, in exciting action at the JBT Mojave Doubles, hosted by The Orleans.
The New Mexico adult/junior duo of William Yoder and Robert Barteau opened up the scratch division Baker-format stepladder finals with a 220-211 win over Brandon Russom and Eric Hatchett. Defending champions Curtis Lindeman and Jakob Butturff then defeated Yoder and Barteau 180-168. Scores went up dramatically in the semifinals, with Jakob and Curtis beating Wesley Low and Matt Jones 268-232 to earn the chance to defend their title.
Top seeds Cortez Schenck and DJ Sloan dominated the day, starting with 511 in game one and leading every subsequent round. They remained untouchable in the title game, winning the championship with a 248-214 victory. Schenck rolls on with the 24th title of his JBT career, while Sloan, a 3-time Mojave Invitational champion, picks up his 9th JBT title with the win.
Nathan Hanuscin and Austin Signoretti, the two-time defending champs in the handicap division, took the long route to the finals, winning a tiebreaker against LeeAnn Reyes and Joseph Ongtawco to get the #5 spot. Mandy Arriola and Jake Hilton, who played each other for the singles title at Bowlium two weeks ago, teamed up this time to stop Nathan and Austin 193-190. Hilton and Arriola then defeated Cerell and Jeremy Cardines 211-156, and next rolled past RJ and Sabrina Reyes 227-186 to reach the title match.
Top seeds Devyn Patalina and James Wilson grabbed the lead with a big semifinal round, then exploded out of the gate with the first five strikes. It proved to be an insurmountable lead, as they won the match 229-183, each earning their first career JBT titles.
