PWBA continued from page 1 be held in Midlothian, Virginia, from Sept. 1-4. Not only will the PWBA Tour Championship wrap up the 2016 season, it also will determine the player of the year, which is based on total points for the season. Heading into the final event, only two competitors have a chance at the honor - Restrepo and Johnson. If Restrepo wins the tournament, she gets the player-of-the-year nod and redemption for a bitter end to the 2015 season. Any- thing less than a win from Restrepo, and Johnson repeats. “It feels good that I’m actually seeded onto the Tour Championship show this year, especially after the heart- breaking loss to Kelly one match before TV last year,” Restrepo said. “I left there not knowing when I would get a chance like that again, and that I’d have to wait a whole year for that event. This year, I’ve been more consistent and didn’t miss any events, which actually cost me a bet- ter seeding last year. Now, it feels good to know all I have to do is focus on two matches and 24 good shots like I did today, even though it didn’t show in the scores.” Restrepo earned her spot in the final of the PWBA St. Petersburg-Clearwater Open with a 214-211 semifinal win against Kelly Kulick of Union, New Jersey. The 28-year- old right-hander led by 25 pins after four frames and was able to hang on, despite a chopped spare in the eighth- frame. Despite two splits in the opening TV match of the St. Petersburg-Clearwater Open, Kulick managed to edge 2015 PWBA Rookie of the Year Stefanie Johnson of Grand Prairie, Texas, 198-192, when Johnson failed to double in her final frame. Since the return of the PWBA in 2015, Kulick has made an unmatched 10 championship-round appearances but has been unable to find the winner’s circle. Kulick, Johnson and Restrepo all now are headed to the PWBA Tour Championship, but Boomershine again finds herself just short of the points-list cutline. Boomershine needed to win the PWBA St. Petersburg-Clearwater Open to earn her spot in the season-ending event. “Ever since I graduated, I’ve had the chance compete in events like the Queens and U.S. Open, but I felt like that wasn’t enough because it only happened once a year,” Restrepo said. “I really wanted a chance to see and show how versatile I could be, and the Tour has allowed me to do that. I know I still have a lot of work to do, but these wins really have boosted my confidence for other events. I finally did it, and now, I want to keep getting titles and moving forward with my career.” All qualifying and match play rounds of the St. Peters- burg-Clearwater Open were held at Seminole Lanes in Seminole, Florida, on July 15-16 and contested on a chal- lenging 40-foot oil pattern.

STINE continued from page 1 hander in the lengthy nine-month fall season at Winnetka Bowl. “Now that I bowled a 290, of course I want to bowl a 300 [as a left-hander],” said Stine who averaged 189 this season as a lefty. “I want to give myself enough of an opportunity to do that.” Stine said this has been one of his favorite league sea- sons. which ends this week with the Sweepers competi- tion. “I really enjoyed it,” Stine said. “I enjoyed it because of the challenge. Giving my teammates an opportunity to compete with me made it more enjoyable for me. And watching me struggle made it more enjoyable for my teammates.” Stine’s wife, Tracy, bowls on the same team with him and she said it was “so much fun” to see her husband un- cork his 290, which was marred only by a 10 pin that he left on his first shot in his first frame. Stine then picked up the spare. “He should go for it,” added Tracy about Rick’s pursuit of a left-handed 300. “It would be fun to watch.” Stine wanted to make it clear, though, that no one should confuse him with Bryan Alpert. “Not a chance,” he said. “He is way outside my class.” Still, a USBC spokesman said while a lefty-righty ca- reer perfect game has been done by bowlers on occasion, it remains a “terrific accomplishment.” Said Stine: “It would be very exciting to bowl a 300 on both sides.” Page 8 www.californiabowlingnews.com September 8, 2016
