We are accustomed to associating success with numbers in bowling, and what she has done in her lifetime reads like a who’s who in the annals of the Professional Women’s Bowling Association (PWBA).

At the tender age of 19, she embarked on a profes- sional career that included three victories in her very PBA’S MERMAID LANES MIDWEST first year, and the subsequent Rookie of the Year honors. She followed that up with a total of 7 titles in her first three years, and 16 championships in ten OPEN FEATURES A BIZARRE ENDING years.

Adding to the irony, the Mermaid Lanes Midwest Open She’s also one of only three women to earn over $1,000,000 on tour, and if you project her yearly average was contested on the Del Ballard Jr. lane oiling pattern. of $62,500 from her fist 16 years, that would place her at over $2,000,000 today. Considering the fact that The lane conditioning pattern was named in honor of the the women do not compete in as many events as the men, nor do they vie for the larger purses afforded the PBA Hall of Famer who infamously rolled a gutter ball on men’s tour, you can begin to see why it’s so easy to quantify Leanne as a bowling legend. his final shot to lose the 1991 PBA Fair Lanes Open title to Pete Weber. Now we get to the stuff that legends are made of… “It was the most bizarre finish I’ve ever seen, and I’ve been involved with the PBA since 1976 – 43 years. And As if it wasn’t enough to be inducted into the PWBA Hall of Fame on the evening of Wednesday, May 15th, I bowled a few years before that,” said veteran PBA East 2019, Leanne started off the day by rolling in the Doubles and Singles events of the USBC Women’s Cham- Region Manager Russ Mills, who served as tournament pionships at Northrock Lanes in Wichita. director for the event. “I thought Nick was going to throw it right down the middle, but he didn’t.

(L-R) Jimmy Schmitzer, John Petraglia Jr., Steve Yeager The Best Bowling Trio Ever: The Threesome of Petraglia, Schmitzer & Yeager by Frank Weiler LAS VEGAS – When in the “Bowling Capital of The World”, for this years USBC National Convention, I visited the South Point Bowling Center. I wanted to pay a visit to old friend Jimmy Schmitzer. We were friends back in California when he rolled his certified 900 series and I hadn’t seen him or his parents, Jim Sr. and Marti, for at least six months. I wanted to catch up on the latest family news and see how Jimmy was bowling. The Schmitzer family are among the nicest people I have known in my lifetime. I found the Schmitzer clan on lanes 53 and 54 with Jimmy bowling with John Petraglia Jr. and Steve Yeager. This awesome threesome is competing in the Storm Almost Scratch Trio League. I believe these three young men form the best league trio team I have ever watched bowl. Why is this trio the best I’ve ever seen? First, it is the only trio I’ve watched with every team member averaging over 230. That also means the team pretty much rolls a scratch 700 game every game they bowl! In over 60 years of bowling I have never seen another trio with three such bowlers. My second reason for picking these guys as the best trio I’ve seen is PEDIGREE. They all come from a family of bowlers. My friend and leadoff bowler Jimmy Schmitzer come from a family of bowlers. Jimmy is the author of one of the few certified 900 series in USBC history. He is a two hander who regularly WANTED rotates a bowling ball over 500 revolutions. He is the ideal lead off bowler because he is consistent, he strikes a lot but also makes his spares when he doesn’t strike. We are looking for an experienced Pin Chaser When speaking of PEDIGREE what more can be said then having Johnny Petraglia Jr. as your anchorman. John is the son of all time PBA great Johnny Petraglia. He is a smooth lefty like his dad, for our busy 32 lane center with Brunswick whose form replicates that of his father. According to Schmitzer, Petraglia has averaged as much as equipment. Full time position. 250 in league play. John is the ideal anchorman because he has ice water running through his veins. When a strike is needed to win the game John always comes through. Flexible to work some nights and weekends. Middleman Steve Yeager is also a lefty who regularly averages 230 or higher. While he isn’t as We offer good wages & health benefits. well known as his teammates, he regularly outscores them. He also comes from a family of bowlers and has the highest average on the team. As the league season comes to an end and the guy’s averages (Schmitzer 232, Yeager 233 and Winnetka Bowl Petraglia 231) are down some, they are still putting up big numbers. All three have rolled perfect 20122 Vanowen St., Winnetka, CA games and 800 series during the season and the night I watched them bowl Petraglia rolled a perfect 300 game. That’s it folks. Now you know. Now you know when it comes to trio teams, the best or email resume to: [email protected] I’ve seen is the threesome of Schmitzer, Yeager and Petraglia.

PBA50 continued from page 1 Tour title, 196-180, to advance to the title match. “I could tell it wasn’t going to be a strikefest but I like the challenge of thinking your way out of trouble and that’s the way it was the whole tournament,” Torgersen said. “Once you get in that mindset that’s how the tourna- ment is going to be, you just adjust to it. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll join in on a strikefest party, but if it’s not, I’m not afraid of making the big changes you need to make on a challenging condition.” Torgersen also had a two-season stint on the Go Bowl- ing!

Smith, also bowling as a non-member, finished fifth improving on his eighth-place finish in 2018. In the second match, Duke defeated Sebelen 245-193 to advance to the semifinal against Torgersen.
