MOJAVE DOUBLES
Scratch champs Phil Platko and Philip Schwartz, and handicap winners Bobby and Tom Majdanski
The spectacularly remodeled Santa Fe Station Lanes saw some high scoring and a great time in the Mojave Doubles Classic.
In the scratch division, the team of Theo Douthit and Christian Jensen opened the Baker-style stepladder finals with a 217-181 win over Chris and Mike Clemence. This marks Theo's third finals appearance in as many doubles events this year. In the next round, Douthit and Jensen fell to the team of Derrick Parnell and women's pro standout Wendy MacPherson 225-151. In the semifinals, the team of Mike Thompson and Tony Martinez came on strong to defeat Parnell and MacPherson 256-198, advancing to the title match.
Top qualifiers Phil Platko and Philip Schwartz had lapped the field, going +327 in qualifying, and each averaging over 220 for the day. In the championship game, The team, representing K & K, threw lots of X & X, just as they had all day. Their 242-204 victory over Thompson and Martinez gave Schwartz his 7th JBT SW title, breaking him out of a protracted slump.
In the handicap division, The adult-junior team of Anthony Ramirez and Chona Kardell defeated Sean Harrison and Jay Johnson 224-154. Round two saw a bizarre circumstance as Kyle and Fred Adams came on to edge Ramirez and Kardell 158-141. However, due to other obligations the Adams team could not continue, advancing Anthony and Chona by default. Ramirez and Kardell could not take advantage of the gift, however, falling to Sean Huggins and Danial Fong 172-146 in the semifinal battle.
Top-seeded Bobby and Tom Majdanski had also been on a day-long roll, and were not to be denied in the title match, despite a game effort from Danial and Sean. Both bowlers were solid through the match, and the 233-187 final tally gave Bobby his 2nd career JBT SW title.
Thanks to Joy Francomano and her staff for hosting us on short notice- she and her staff at Santa Fe do a fantastic job both hosting and promoting JBT SW events, and we appreciate the help very much!
