In a terrific comeback final, the "Kingpins" were exactly that, winning the JBT So Cal Baker Challenge, hosted by Bowlium Lanes in Montclair.
After 10 games of Baker-style qualifying, the Kingpins qualified 7th, then got by the #2 and #3 seeded teams to reach the final. Their opponents would be the top seed 'Mixed Nuts' team, who had rolled 4-0 through their matches. They won the first game of the finals 207-191, but Kingpin came roaring back 218-180 to force one more game for the title. The final game was a crazy one, with gutter balls on both sides changing the match. However, it still came down the anchor bowlers, and after Dominic Fisher doubled, Bobby Campagnale's good second shot left a 7-pin standing, and that gave Kingpin the 186-181 win and the championship. It's the first JBT title for all, and the youths split the $500 top prize.
Big thanks to the team at Bowlium for hosting one of our favorite weekends of the year. Want in on all this fun for all ages and averages? Just check out our schedule and come on down!
