FARMINGDALE, NY – Ralph

Ehrlich took high series honors

rolling in the Monday Night

Eddie Allen rolled 245-245-285-

THE VILLAGES, Fla. – After a

nearly year-long absence from top-

level competition recovering from

foot problems, eight-time PBA

Tour winner Mike Scroggins of

Amarillo, Texas, won the PBA50

UnitedHealthcare Sun Bowl In The

Villages in his PBA50 Tour debut

at Spanish Springs Lanes.

Scroggins, who qualified fifth

for the finals, won three consecu-

tive matches before battling fellow

lefthander and tournament leader Parker Bohn III in a championship

match that went down to the 10th

frame.

Bohn threw a strike on the first

ball in the 10th frame and then a

nine-count and spare forcing

Scroggins to get the first two

strikes in the 10th. Scroggins got

the first two strikes and then a

nine-count on the fill ball to beat

Bohn 255-246.

“This is one of the best feelings

I’ve had in bowling especially

after what I’ve been through for

the past year,” Scroggins said. “It

made it extra special to beat the

great bowlers that were in the

finals which I felt very fortunate to

do.

Scroggins suffers from the con-

dition plantar fasciitis, a tendon

and ligament disorder in both feet,

which put him out of action for

more than nine months.

As the fifth qualifier in thestepladder, Scroggins opened with

a 231-205 win over PBA Hall of

Famer Johnny Petraglia who was

trying for his ninth PBA50 title at

age 68. Scroggins then went on to

beat two-time PBA50 Player of the

Year and eight-time PBA50 Tour

winner Ron Mohr 239-227 in the

second match before beating Hall

of Famer and four-time PBA50

April 29 - May 5, 2015 SPORTS REPORTER 3

By Matt Cannizzaro - USBC

RENO, Nev. - New traditions highlighted an exciting

Opening Day as the 2015 United States Bowling Congress

Women's Championships now underway at the National

Bowling Stadium.

The storied event celebrated its 96th edition by welcoming

a new event, the USBC Mixed, to the championship lanes. A

total of 24 Women's Championships teams and three Mixed

teams helped usher in the new era in tournament history.

The Mixed features four-player mixed teams (two men and

two women), mixed doubles (one man and one woman) and

open singles competition, giving bowlers the chance to

enjoy the experience of competing on the national stage in a

friendly and fun environment.

Reno-Sparks Convention and Visitors Authority President

and CEO Chris Baum, Reno Mayor Hillary Schieve, USBC

Executive Director Chad Murphy and USBC Board member

and Professional Women's Bowling Association spokesper-

son Kelly Kulick took center stage to welcome the first of

more than 16,000 bowlers to The Biggest Little City in the

World.

The 2015 Women's Championships marks the event's 10th

trip to Reno and seventh visit to the newly renovated NBS.

A new tradition at the Women's Championships is the hon-

orary grand marshals selected to help lead out the opening

squad and Mass Ball Shot. Grand marshals are picked for

every team squad in 2015 and will don special vests as they

make their way to the lanes.

Strike Force of Milledgeville, Georgia, earned the distinc-

tion of being the first grand marshals in tournament history.

The team featured Judy Harville, Patty Molock, Laura Bryan

and Marian Griffis.

"It made being here more memorable," said Harville, who

is bowling in her fourth Women's Championships. "It was

awesome, and we were all so excited."

This year's Bowl for the Cure® Fabulous Four essay con-

test winners also were on hand as they completed their jour-

ney by participating in the opening squad. The four winners

threw out the ceremonial first balls of the tournament and

then competed as a team.

On the lanes, Should O Beens of Newport News, Virginia,

set the pace in Ruby Team with games of 682, 620 and 664

for a 1,966 total. Bobbie Deese led the way with a 544 series

and was joined by Kristen Saunders (525), Karen Saunders

(461) and Frances Langejans (436).

"This was our first time bowling the opening squad, and it

was nice," said Deese, who made her 34th Women's

Championships appearance. "We came all the way from

Virginia to have fun first, and if we happen to bowl well, it's

a plus."Grant Gonzado traveled from Las Vegas to bowl on

the opening squad of The Mixed.

"It seemed more laid back," Gonzado said of the new tour-

nament. "I'm used to bowling in a packed house, so it was

not as stressful but we bowled with fun people."

The Mixed features a divisional structure that mimics the

Women's Championships - four divisions for team and six

for doubles and singles - so it is inviting for bowlers of all

skill levels and could serve as a good steppingstone to big-

ger events, like the Women's Championships and USBC

Open Championships.

Both the Women's Championships and The Mixed will run

until June 30.
