LAKEWOOD — KMEL CUNANAN took home the guaranteed prize of $600 as he emerged as the WIZARD who played the STOCK EXCHANGE very well during the Strikers Force last event at Cal Bowl.

Tied at 2nd and 3rd place with their 227 game and taking home $150 each was Chris Abing and Marife Catalasan. For $50 each, 4th place was Freddy Zamora who shot 214, 5th was James Borillo with his 211 game, 6th was Freddie Catamisan with his 208 game and 7th place was Rick Llaneta who finished with 203. Special shout out go to our bowlers from up north Craig Henderson, Thomas Matthews and John Curtis.
