welcome bowling fans to the mecca
bowling
so great to have you back
bayside ball portland maine
place is amazing
dave right alongside falling royalty
you can hear it hall of famer randy
peterson hall of famer carolyn doran
ballard
and cdb let's start with you
norm duke has said this will be his last
appearance in pba league can he and the
strikers go out with a win
absolutely first of all he exudes
confidence and his team has confidence
as well not only in norm but in what
they can do they are no stranger to the
tv show they're going to give it a great
battle
and randy if you can hear me
clearly
these fans want portland to do what's
never been done in the pba league so far
that's three-peat yeah absolutely
absolutely both of these teams have won
this event twice no team has ever won it
three times in a row portland looking to
do just that today
all right let's recap how dallas got
this far
as the number two seed in the division
cdb they had to win two matches and it
started with tommy jones and company
against waco tommy jones by far is the
best pba bowler that needs it when you
need it for the clutch he's got it but
matt ogle is the hot ticket this weekend
parker bone hall of famer needing to
double
gets the first one but full short giving
the strikers the win 2 25 216 and match
three so they advance to take on the las
vegas highways that was up from a year
ago and satu tom and iron and tj we're
awesome again absolutely the young gun
santo is the hot one that you will see
over the next couple of years but again
tommy jones and ogle coming through
clutch shot makers this week
so win again for dallas now randy let's
talk about portland
that's the number one seed of the
anthony division and stepladder team
bowling the other night just needed one
win and they got it just one win they
were the number one seed so they got a
bye
and it was a route i mean
kyle troupe is the catalyst of this team
he's a team that gets these guys going
and gets him fired up and he did just
that
the only lefty on today's telecast packy
hanrahan he's got the whole left side to
himself this man right here chris
prather set the table for the big nasty
who set stepped up in the tenth frame
and threw a perfect shot to advance to
the finals
so the stage is set it's dallas it's
portland
hall of fame managers in north duke and
tim mack let's get there three max
thoughts with kimberly preston
thank you guys wellness brothers showing
these two some serious love so normally
i gotta ask you because after nine years
as about the player and a manager with
the dallas strikers you announced this
week that this will be the last time
that you roll in front of this crowd
as part of a bowler so my goodness why
did you decide to do that
well you know how fitting would it be
for me to in my whole career right here
at bayside bowl as part of the strikers
going against the lumberjacks this is a
match made in heaven for me and i just
want to thank the lord for this
opportunity it's going to be an epic
match for sure how bad do you want to
beat these guys in their hometown right
here
i can't even express
how bad i'd like to win today but i know
my man wants to win just as bad let's
have a good nos
oh i absolutely love that so he just
talked about the fight that he wants to
beat you
in your hometown crowd right here
listen i love norm duke just like
everybody else does but i'm not in a in
the mood for giving a celebratory
send-off you know we're here to win we
expect to win we got two banners up
there and we expect to hang another one
so we're ready to go all right well
let's get to it guys
what could be better
in the pba league nothing that's the
answer this place is jumping
norm duke and the strikers head to head
with kyle troop and the lumberjacks game

i like i like the expression rp that was
priceless that is
that that is
that is a face that no mother could love
let's take a look at today's budget oil
pattern ready to mark roth 42. yeah the
players are going to be playing in and
feeding it out to that zone but there is
another way to play it some players
might try to go pretty straight but at
the end of the day they're all trying to
get it down to that same break point
about right there
on the right
and the same spot on the left
big west
mvp this event the mark roth league mvp
award in 2019 at 20 20. so
see the past winners never had a
three-peat as randy talked about
strikers wanted in 16 and 17.
adam splitters
a powerful team your kingpins we weren't
the manager then but
you do the experience cdb of managing
this year what's this been like for you
so far this week well it's very unique
you know i i think team chemistry is
very important in the team atmosphere
and i talked to the young guns a lot
about that with marshall kent and darren
tang of course we had pdw on the team
and team chemistry was our most
important as well as people we thought
could play straight and open up the
lanes but it's interesting jason couch
made a comment on the show the other
night and he said i picked players for
this side of the house i really have
never thought about it that way because
honestly you have qualifying and then
there's the show so i look for an
all-around team
which all-around team will be better
today that's a question this is baker
bowling so five on five
the lineups are the same that we had on
the shows earlier for pba league it's
normal the hall of famer leading off and
called the sixth frame pillow and he'll
be in the hall of fame one day in the
second hole santo tova knight youngster
from finland and playing really
quiet
you know the only reason why you're good
at that pronunciation is because you
used to do hockey it helps troop
quintero packy crater and wes malone a
lot of returning stars
from pass champions for portland
the baker format
[Applause]
you got to love the big hug for the big
guy
you know it's got a bitter sweet for me
[Applause]
for sure in the pba league he's made
that announcement it is emotional
but hey guys we got to be a part of it i
think that's awesome i know he's a great
friend of youtube fellow hall of famer
let's keep our patients and stay in the
moment
let's do our normal communication let's
show me all right take our [ __ ] get our
heart rate down early
all right lead us to the promised land
we got we got the right team guys we got
the right guys on the right
the entire time the whole time
he's gonna be there we've been here
before we know what it takes to win
[Applause]
here we go
[Applause]
a manager how important is the
communication
between the players
it's very important and that's that
comes from that team chemistry
especially from the lead offroad i mean
the leader puller is the one that's
going to give you the most feedback
instant right at first because they lead
off obviously so that's the information
you need to give to the player coming up
next as well as down the line um
communication will happen throughout
this entire
match every game because they're going
to see breakdown pretty quickly
kyle troop going with the urethane
instead of a reactive resin
urethane no way throwing a pitch black
you like it guys
i do like it
true there it is
we call that the quitter 10.
[Applause]
not the way he want to start but again
this is best of five we could see a lot
of bowling here today
[Applause]
[Music]
settle the nerves a bit you think he's
going with the earth there in early to
keep from breaking the lanes down so bad
to where they have to get so deep that
they can't strike when they get
in the fifth sixth arrow i think a lot
of the teams did that this week i really
do and it also was until they transition
to the way they want to
like you said so that they can make that
jump left a lot of them use european
right out of the gate
shot ringing 10 pin for bill o'neil left
lane guys
three for three
ninth year pba league seventh with
dallas
knock knock who's there that stupid
10-pin
braddy's favorite
no no
or is that another one
you know what i can't even say it out
loud
check out his twitter handle we'll find
out
wow this place is electric today
carolyn
you know arturo's hair looks it's pretty
it's pretty outlandish what do you think
if i if i went if i went down that road
what do you think only in the front
right the tips
by the way arturo had blonde hair last
weekend when i saw him bowling at a
tournament in dallas
long time member team mexico now lives
in texas
[Applause]
[Music]
what's going on here you guys
10 pin city
[Applause]
[Music]
4 10 pins in a row
just a little late coming into the
leaves another 10 pin
nickname the gold kid
20 years a pro
all right
we got a trend here cdb
i'll tell you making spares for a team
compared to for yourself much different
here's sawtooth
25 years old a runner up to don barrett
in colorado on a pba tour event this
year
and what a young star this guy is
[Applause]
this kid's going to be a superstar on
the tour
trust me
a little two-handed specialist it looks
like a blue tank
that he's throwing
we'll try to get it as many of the balls
in as we can
of all names
[Applause]
okay
still waiting for our first strike lots
of nine spares
hey it's all about filling frames right
as long as you're filling frames
you're staying in the pocket it will
definitely
[Applause]
they love change
here in portland
originally from connecticut
went to wichita state
now lives in wichita dave randy carolyn
kimberly our entire curve here great to
have you with us for the championship
match
[Applause]
he finally comes through with a strike
for the lumberjacks
man this place exploded
here's tj hall of famer
[Applause]
tommy throwing a wet pearl
in my opinion tommy jones is one of the
best shot makers on the pba tour and
when you need it for the cheese he is
the guy that you want up
up stepping up on the approach to make
that shot yeah one of the best clutch
players out here
and has been for a long time
now chris braver who's won the pba
playoffs in this field that's going to
really hurry and he missed the mark
and did not come back to the pocket one
two four seven
can't get it to that zone and get it
back you know why carolyn no problem
outside part of the lane is slicker than
an otter's pocket
[Applause]
not only that it's that right lane and i
think there's a big difference between
the left lane and the right lane the
left lane every year
has broken down a lot faster and the
right lane like you just said has that
spot where when you get it there it
never gets bad yeah it's slick
nice cover for pogba
who was looking down at the approach
make sure he gets his footwork
settled for his next appearance
this guy's been maybe the mvp of this
entire event this week ogle's been
impressive
[Applause]
and 49 strikes for ogle
to lead the way
[Applause]
rare to see the headpin left by
the top pros in the world
it's close
you can't get closer
and now the big nasty
west
he's doing some clutch shots in this
building
titles
he's got help
big nasty comes through
for the portland lumberjacks
[Music]
it's just a one pin match
heading into the last half of game one
[Music]
atmosphere here portland maine
one pin match
halfway through game one in the best of
five between portland dallas pba league
presented by pat lu ribbon on july 19th
judge ohtani machado and the game's
biggest stars are coming to the city of
stars for the midsummer classic it's the
2022 all-star game from dodger stadium
july 19th on fox
all right let's go down to the floor and
manager tim mack tim can you hear me i
can randy i can't all right so listen a
lot of ten pins to start
what adjustments does your team make the
second half of this game one listen
again i told the guys just like uh to
get here to the final we got to win the
lane i think we got to have some better
speed control make sure our angles are
right the ball go through the pins
kyle's going to take us out of
commercial here get us a double and i
feel confident about the second half of
the game why you're a thing for kyle to
start i just wants to control the pocket
right now struck every ball in practice
feels real comfortable we'll make a ball
change here with him probably within the
next game and a half all right thanks
kim good thank you
lead all four sixth frame for dallas
40 titles third all-time pba history
his final pda league appearance
i think one of the shot the hardest
shots to throw is out of the commercial
break you got to make sure that you're
you keep up your ball speed you're doing
the same thing you're doing before the
commercial break and honestly you know
there was great advantage on that
without question but carolyn looks like
he's got a little more spin
to his release than he normally does
actually it does look like that and i'm
wondering if that's because that left
lane
everybody said it tend to
break down a little bit earlier so he
can get his ball through the fronts a
little bit easier
looking for a 12-pin lead for the
lumberjack sixth frame
kyle
[Applause]
carolyn have i ever told you i hate
urethane
no you don't you both great with it
[Music]
nice mark
keeping us really tight in game one of
the best hit f5 there goes the urethane
ball but by urethane but by now
so i have a question i have a question
how good is a team when you have norm
duke leading off of bill o'neil a second
i mean
oh my goodness
yeah anytime you have a team that has
bill o'neil
and tommy jones on it with norm duke
that's
that doesn't suck
[Applause]
emblematic at game one
another single pin spare conversion here
for o'neill at dallas
i haven't had it open yet
shooting stays perfect
keeping us neck and neck
back to quintero first year
in the pba league
arturo going with a zen soul
and his hair is fantastic
18th pick
came from silver lake in the draft this
year
[Applause]
come on pins come on carolyn what's
going on here i have to tell you i think
there's a little nerves out there
i i hate to say that because i think
they're used to this environment but
with this crowd the way they amp you up
it's it's unbelievable unless you're
here you really can't get the full
effect of it and i think there's some
nerves out there a little tentative on
the shots um so i think we'll see that
change as the games progress
okay just enough
family is here watching
they've been here throughout the entire
rpm
did you see that shot right there
this friend of mine his name's rob stone
he calls that skinny jeans
that's a good one
all right back to santo from finland
[Applause]
all right
there we go
this guy's got some power yeah and look
at the rev rate that this guy
well went away but it's
528 rev ray
and it looks effortless
back to packy at portland
anybody's game and the best of five
pacquiao with a purple hammer
he likes it
here we go he likes it
one two pocket demolished
by the two-handed super south ball
[Applause]
strikers can take a lead here working on
a strike
ninth frame
hall of famer tommy jones
[Applause]
by eight foundation frame yeah
finding the range now
and that's what you do as a setup man
you set up the tenth frame
but no matter what they can't shut the
lumberjacks out
beautiful shot there by tj
[Applause]
now it's prather
who set the table in the anthem division
final for west milan
and
trouble now
he's thrown in infinite physics
and
this could prove costly
as you take a look at the max score now
third season with portland
there's the ten pound
man that knows how to win in this
building carolyn
i was just saying he actually doesn't
look very comfortable yet but knowing
the chris prather we know
give it a few more shots and he'll be
striking out of the building
all right here's matt ogle
anchor bowler for dallas
a strike and good count
dallas wins game one
first the strike matt
brooklyn
that's what i'm talking about
next stop
[Applause]
well not the way you want to win
but that's poland
[Applause]
he's got it right
needs seven
seven or better for the win
[Applause]
we did see some brooklyn's on that left
lane in some of the matches where when
you missed just a little bit left
there was no forgiveness
sometimes to get you started just takes
that lucky break
those two appear
i'm not expecting you to [ __ ] be
looking at me
like
is the best of five so plenty of time
left for portland
and regroup
but it's got to feel so good at a
matchup for dallas
randy
kind of the road team here in this
atmosphere to get game one right guys
can't strike
we had three strikes
throughout
the entire game one
packey's got two of them west had a
strike
and that's it
haven't been found a way to
knock all 10 down
[Applause]
the other part of that is they're
bowling the whole game on one lane right
which is different
than in the past as opposed to five and
five right yes
they're gonna flip-flop lanes after this
game and
lumberjacks should go to the left lane
ball chains there for west to
do experimentation at the end of the
game that was clinched by dallas
226 195 game one of the books
and nora nubra is smiling because his
team's got a lead to the best of five
strikers lumberjacks
it's the pba league championship match
presented by pabst blue ribbon on fs1
[Music]
let's flash back
rikers to elias cup championships in
2016 john molina tommy jones and company
got by the new york city kingpins 4-2
mvp was tj here at face eyeball and
portland maine in 2017
they beat portland
5-1 the mvp was hall-of-famer norm duke
tommy jones in that team as well here at
bayside trying to repeat the feat
in 2022 those would be two wins so far
for the strikers
ever
repeating in this event portland's
trying to do that but right now dallas
with a win in game one 226
195.
place is rocking as always i love the
belt all right randy thoughts game one
uh not enough striking by the
lumberjacks
uh they got to the pocket but they
couldn't carry only three strikes in
that whole game for them
indeed randy and that never gets old
let's recap game one lots of single pin
spare conversions early that was the
story but cdb tommy jones got it going
for dallas i'm telling you he is the guy
one of the best clutch bowlers i have
ever seen sets his anchor bowler up i'm
telling you this is going to be the team
to be i think i love that the
lumberjacks have the crowd behind them
but i'm telling you tommy jones is tough
to beat and he motivates his team and
sets the anchor bowler up
ogle has just been so fantastic
throughout the entire pba league event
strikes out in the tent now randy to get
to brooklyn sometimes you're better
lucky than good for ogle to get those
three strikes in the tenth frame but
bottom line here dallas has got some
confidence now right yeah they sure do
but
uh carolyn said it best tommy jones set
up the 10th frank
chris prather left that 10 pin
that ended up costing him so tommy set
the table and then matt ogle great break
going brooklyn and then he followed it
up with another great head and that was
it game over they love you carolyn
single pin spare conversions an issue
for portland in game one this couldn't
strike
dallas could when it mattered most and
the strikers take a 1-0 lead in the best
of five game two
is on the way
[Applause]
ready for game two
league is in it
blue ribbon here on air quest one dave
carolyn randy kimberly entire crew
wrapping up
the 2022 pba league championship
with the title show game one goes to
dallas
226 195 now game two and they switch
lanes
[Applause]
[Music]
passed out of five win three games
you got the championship
of game one on the right lane now to the
left lane
game two for portland truth
i think on this left lane there's more
forgiveness to the right and on the
right lane i think there's more
forgiveness to the left but this whole
game on the one lane i think makes
blaine choice important from the very
beginning and now again you have to make
the right decisions as soon as you get
to that lane
[Applause]
and a strike
tried to go a little straighter on that
shot carolyn and you know it's a little
too straight
[Applause]
next stop
[Music]
brownsburg right so hey you got to be
lucky sometimes
[Applause]
there's never
for arturo quintero
back to back jacks
[Applause]

out here and just made great shots
chris going with an idol cosmos on that
left
lane and shark
oh wait isn't that what chris crater
likes to do get left and just floated
off his hand to the right he's one of
the best at opening up the lane

a lot of bowling left
[Applause]

always
sixth frame working on two strikes
portland kyle true at the break
dallas also working on two strikes
kyle should go in with altered reality
for his
choice of orb
of this game
wow good job
well look at the numbers there powered
by kia i mean it was spot on from the
last shot
[Applause]
how rude
a nudge but not enough
i'm wondering if both these teams have
added pressure for two different reasons
so the lumberjacks you're in your home
crowd right you don't ever want to lose
in your hometown crowd and the other
team the dallas strikers those guys are
trying
absolutely every ounce of energy and as
hard as they can for norm
oh duke 2 10 split
you're right cdb so much emotion for
this guy
let's learn hall of famer
they might have an open friend see
normy can manage it tough one
[Applause]
and just like that the lumberjacks up 15
pins and quintero struck last time steps
up in the 7th
[Applause]

that pin right there that i can't say
the number
45 pins now
tomorrow steps up
dallas leads it from the upstairs
wow
i mean carolyn how good is that guy
going to be
i was thinking two things
number one is this the second coming of
jason belmonte right here right who has
changed the game forever he's going to
be the next one and number two
how many of these teams over the next
few years are you going to see with the
left-hander and a two-hander
all right
set the table chris
here's shortcut
likes it
loves it
talk about taking advantage of some
great breaks right
right after the open frame by norm duke
it's a trip for a trip whatever that
number pin was
and then okay i'll just say it it was
that eight pin you said it and then a
strike
pj
[Applause]
all right big wes malott needs strike
and eight
and they'll even up
this best of five series
[Applause]
strike streak had three for each team
adding it to the tenth frame
and for as calm as wes is i think he
feeds off this crowd he he really does
oh drake nasty
oh no
seven pin
they can lose now
[Applause]
matt ogle can get up and double in the
10th and they can lose
the scene was set
for big west
he looked down at his footwork there a
little bit on the approach yeah looked
like he's stuck
[Applause]
covered up less
oh
[Applause]
it's got to be the guaranteed rate
spur of the game sponsored by guaranty
rate if you believe it you can do it
guaranteed rate believe you will
that was tight
[Applause]
all right matt ogle needs a double in
five
[Music]
pressure is on
[Applause]
looks for the first
has the first
[Applause]
49 strikes in the six-game qualifying
individual block that helped alex to the
two-seed
that was the most of any bowler at pba
league
now needs another
and five pins
to put dallas in a huge
lead
[Applause]
[Music]
a
if i'm not mistaken so his title was
with uh the doubles with sean rash
correct right
i'm telling you
he thrives in a team environment
he was awesome when he bowled with sean
he showed up when he needed
and he has done that for this team
caroline a
six-pack alert
elbow strikes here fifteen hundred
dollars for his team sponsored by pabst
blue and milwaukee wisconsin
he'll do just that come on
you want to finish
and dallas leads two games to none
[Applause]
to kimberly with a star matt ogles matt
you were absolutely clutch just now when
you needed to be you needed two in the
tenth and you got this how were you able
to do that in front of all these people
in front of this atmosphere i said i'm
just here to have fun
today is for norm not for me
i'm here for him all right thank you
calm cool and collected kimberly that's
matt ogle out of louisville kentucky
clutch
man absolute clutch
strikes out for the hall of famer norm
duke
trying to end his pba league run with
another elias cup dallas up two games to
none get the best of five
let's flashback
recap portland pba league 2019 in this
building the two-time champs knocked off
lax to zip
wes malott was the mvp this place was
popping
a few years back also won in 2020 in
centennial virginia beat las vegas 3-2
so back-to-back champs
20-20 last time this event was held it
returns the bay side in 2022
the fans are making plenty of noise
but they also know their lumberjacks
beloved hometown team is down
two games to none of the best of five
for the dallas strikers
and randy matt ogle has been spectacular
twice he's stepped up in the 10th frame
of the first two games and struck out
yeah he
he had that one in brooklyn
[Applause]
yeah that one brooklyn in game one and
that's okay
he stepped up in game two and just
labeled it but i'll tell you what
tommy jones as carolyn alluded to he's
been perfect throughout the first two
games he has not missed
well you talk about matt ogle and you
mentioned on the air at cdb a moment ago
he told us this week in the interviews
he loves the team atmosphere he he won
with john rash's one pba tour title in a
doubles event the roth holman thrives in
this now he's got the extra motivation
of trying to get norm duke to win in his
final last cup appearance absolutely and
i got to tell you it's harder to strike
for someone else or a team than it is
for yourself and he really has met that
match in this whole entire team
environment and again he did it for sean
rash and he's doing it right now for
norm duke i'm going to tell you i think
they are going to be tough to beat wow
highlights game two
and we go to the 10th frame that's what
really mattered randy west block stepped
up
valley had a little
issue at the approach
left that blower 7. and then matt ogle
stepped up and just laced three shots
in a row
not to mention the last trip for
to get that uh six-pack money from pbr
for his team
so the anchor bowlers head ahead so far
seven strikes have been perfect
matt ogle
and spares 2-1 for west milan
so far
two games stood on dallas portland in
game three next
trying to stay in this match striker's
trying to put it away
[Applause]
[Music]
fans of portland hoping for a big
comeback at bayside bowl and the beloved
lumberjacks are down two games to none
to dallas in the best of five a last cup
final
arturo quintero's wife layla is
in prayer at the moment tim mack
team meeting
kimberly now joined by the proprietor
charlie mitchell here at bayside bowl
thanks dave charlie the problem
what encouraging words did you have for
the team well i would say in retrospect
it might have not been the best idea of
mine to wager my gold jacket with norm
on this match it's kind of been the mad
ogle show so far but we've got guys
who've won two titles in a row these are
gamers they have the crowd i'm gonna be
down there on the lanes with him and i
don't count the lumberjacks out for one
second all right i love that energy
thank you
all right
jackets on the line
charlie and his entire staff so great to
see them again this year
the best of the biz
what an atmosphere
in portland maine sold out again
guys this is a must win
for
the portland lumberjacks it's shocking
rand
i mean i would have said that no way
make that prediction win and move on
lose and go home
[Applause]
possibly if they sweep the last shots
ever
in the last cup
[Applause]
i think he's thinking it i do i knowing
norm i don't think he puts pressure on
himself but he knows what's going on in
that moment
he was so intense
i mean what a way to go out though
[Applause]
just a little too far to the right
[Applause]
and i do know it's only the first frame
but the lumberjacks have not looked
comfortable
for full
[Music]
[Applause]
and their first shot cdb on the tricky
left lane the tricky right lane that's
just huge for dallas
now back to the left and yielding some
high numbers
like that shot from o'neill
and randy you
mentioned we were bantering about the
two-handers
versus you know the thumb and the ball i
could watch bill o'neil all day long
he's like
[Applause]
them on
[Applause]
today
beautiful shot
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
pretty cool
[Applause]
i mean
they only have to win one out of three
games
i don't even know how a pin stands
when he throws it
great shots by him all three games
[Music]
yeah we all hung out with him dinner
last night i mean he's just a cool
character so nice
nice and mellow he seems
mature beyond his ears
[Applause]
foreign
[Applause]
beautiful shot here by packy
[Applause]
[Music]
this guy here has been perfect
all day today
seventh season pba league all with
dallas
tommy jones
okay
late tap on the 10 pin down it goes
carolyn congratulations by the way on
winning
king of the lanes which is now queen of
the lanes with your daughter alyssa
thank you very much that was so fun to
watch it was great and uh
she was a rock star a kid was a rock
star is
and it's gonna be right out of the
vanderbilt
[Applause]
[Music]
i think he looks slow on that shot
well the right lane is a little tighter
and he probably felt like he had to do
that to get it to come around the corner
[Music]
travels nicely
a hundred thousand dollars in this
building a couple years back the pba
playoffs
[Applause]
that ogre was not missed all day
[Applause]
and he was in the back after santo came
off the approach he went right over to
matt ogle and they were chatting so i'm
sure they were talking strategy on what
he needed to do on that shot
[Applause]
hey west
[Applause]
lumberjacks down a 2-0 hole randy
look at us stay alive next

dallas closing in
[Applause]
norm duke trying for yet another
championship in his last appearance for
the cup
let's go down to the florida manager tim
mack and tim you're in a must-win
situation your team trails by 12.
halfway through
what is the feeling what's the general
consensus in the lumberjack camp listen
we feel pretty good about ourselves we
we just have to win the second half of
the lane obviously we're gonna need some
good fortune uh on our side we lost the
first two games on some pretty bad
breaks with the brooklyn and then
obviously the
seven pin from west but
that's in the past we got to control we
can control and throw some really good
shots out of commercial and uh you see
if we could take it home all right
thanks for your time
all right thanks timmy appreciate that
here we go
second half of game three
dallas up by 12. looking for the turkey
for a 22-pin lead
i think norm duke is going to give it
all he's got and he asks for a reroute
this could be the last shot of his pba
league career oh man that crossed over
left a baby
i thought maybe he asked for a re-rack
just give himself an extra second kind
of yeah again getting ready to come out
of that commercial break just i saw him
down there squatting just getting him
going dallas does not have any re-racks
remaining
it's a big shot for norm
[Applause]
without being a good spare shooter great
spare shooter
group has not had his best day in terms
of strikes
[Applause]
in game three
poorly as carrie states
finally gets all 10 to go down
[Applause]
back to bill o'neil
for the strikers
and billy's got four in a row now
big shot keeps the pressure on quintero
and the lumberjacks
looking to go back up by 10 pins in the
seventh frame
first time caroline first time well both
teams look a little more comfortable you
got those first game jitters out of the
way the lanes are just continuing to
transition it seems like both teams are
staying ahead of the moves we're gonna
see a great match
quintero
nice
and he's been solid
for portland
that's four in a row for arturo
we've seen a celebration a few times
haven't we muy bueno senor
charlie mitchell
spin a lava bag there
back to tommen
for dallas
wow this kid is special
you know how he ended up on that team
tommy jones and bill o'neil talked norm
into drafting him
i'm not sure norm even knew who he was
at first correct
isn't that wasn't that part of the story
i don't think he knew i thought he heard
the name but didn't really know who he
was well he knows who he is now
so
so does a lot of other people
eighth pick in the draft this year sansa
tomorrow has been spectacular
big one here
[Applause]
and it pushes long enough to leave that
seven pin and still using urethane
so it gives it that smoother motion
[Applause]
[Music]
if they go into another game he could
look at changing balls
[Applause]
strikers
fourth bowler and jones are in great
shape now look at your max scores how
fast it changes
[Applause]
this guy
mr clutch to set up matt oval in the
10th frame
[Applause]
oh boy
what happened there one two four six ten
washed them out
wow
goodness
you do not see that very often out of
tommy jones possibly a little added
pressure just got that one way right
[Music]
goodness gracious
that was a big mess
[Applause]
didn't see that coming
[Music]
only made 27.4 on the pba tour
tough one a lot to cover
and now the advantage to portland in
this game
all right the head pin
pin stands
and like that the lead expands the 16
pins for portland
and again you look at the max score
lumberjacks
right there
to catch her game
three
get back in this
much better shot he left the three six
ten thought he was a little slow on the
last shot this one much more aggressive
didn't get it as far right
i liked it
sure is a lot of angle
it's chris prather
[Music]
here comes over again
[Music]
nothing short of
fabulous throughout the pba league
[Applause]
shouting mvp here
whoa four-pin
strike anyway
[Applause]
same mindset all right you just got to
chip away the same mindset all right
nothing crazy dial the mind in now
expect the big fella to mark for us and
we're moving on all right let's go
loads of advice from time
west pretty much just needs to keep on
the lane
to wrap up the game he steps up in the
tent
[Music]
well russ just needs eight on the first
ball
[Applause]
night frame
open tommy jones game changer now west
steps up
to win game three for portland
i find it interesting too that tim mack
is focusing more on
their focus on the mental game not ball
reaction
needs eight
nine it's a win
lumberjacks win game three they're right
back in the match
[Applause]
looks like he's going to try something
new
what is that let's give it a peek
the idol cosmos
[Applause]
with the other one yeah we're going to
do that
do it
he's been wrapped up
tim talking strategy get a look with
this ball
he fell at the tenth frame from west
milan
[Applause]
that's not a night oh cosmos
no he's the same ball same ball
[Applause]
[Music]
puts it away 223 209. arturo quintero
has been a big story
first year as a lumberjack
long-time member of team mexico getting
his
team the fans and of course his family
his wife layla's been
with him every shot fun to watch him
with a green hair and he's joined now by
kimberly preston artur you seem to be
firing up the team you guys are all
starting to bowl really well here but
how now that you guys are in this how do
you keep the momentum going so that you
can move on to the next one and into
game five we just gotta keep the
emerald fire
you know the green fire and
we got these guys
and timmy is this guy your spark plug
here listen you know he gave us a big
spark here
this last game and you know we just got
to win one at a time round we just got
to chip away chip away chip away and uh
you know let's get to game four and
let's see what we can do
hashtag emerald fire uh it's trending
kimberly no doubt uh family certainly is
rooting hard rotoro quintero and the
lumberjacks apparently prayer does work
2-1 strikers the best of five
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
portland wins game three they're back in
the match
hometown lumberjacks trying for the
unprecedented three-peat in the last cup
pba league presented by patrick ribbon
here on fs1
little bryant harold ballard bradley
peterson hall of fame booth here
kimberly pressed the lane level
great crew and poorly wrapping up a
tremendous
pba league in 2022
now
game four rp so you're thinking about
moving on
what's tim mack saying to his guys
[Applause]
one of the things i
know that tim was focusing on again was
just the mental aspect keeping them in
the zone
and keeping them focused
of course wes was looking as if he was
going to change goals and then he didn't
on the field
[Applause]
223 games so far for lumberjacks 2 26 2
43 209
for dallas
[Applause]
hope to wrap things up in game three
in his last run in the last cup
back to game four
four pin
we also believe norm is using a
different ball on this lane great shot
leaving the four pin
but what i'd like to is you're going to
see adjustments quicker because they
both hold on both lanes now right so
they know kind of the transition and
what they can and cannot do
[Applause]
[Music]
i promise you they know that left lane
hooks
[Music]
[Applause]
he's got the green hair going on
[Music]
[Applause]
oh
[Applause]
it has been fun to watch
o'neill steps out trying to respond to
dallas and dust
i play in the same but it's probably
only one
we talked about the
chemistry and the communication bill
o'neil walking right off the approach
going right back to norm duke giving him
some advice on what he did on his shots
[Applause]
beauty here by packy
you know when he likes it he poses
[Applause]
that's why 10 of the pit
[Applause]
first three for
[Applause]
just a little loft
[Applause]
[Music]
oh yeah
all right
guy who likes to curve it
i'm elaine that you have to curve
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
that rotation right here
goes right by it
[Applause]
wow
[Applause]
west knows how many boards left to right
he needs to be chris prather
[Music]
fantastic numbers for jones
fourth frame trying to lead here west
knows just how many boards he has to be
left
[Applause]
he should know exactly where to stand
and where to look
[Applause]
another
really nice shot by tj
nice rebound after the five count
washout
[Applause]
and i'm going to assume tommy had a
little talk with himself after the five
count wash out just
got his brain back to where it needed to
be
[Applause]
don't move as much
[Applause]
stays clean with a mark
[Applause]
[Music]
logo can put his team up by 12. for a
strike here in the fifth frame
dallas fort bagger oh
bring a 10-pin nice shot
[Applause]
carolyn how many more years do you think
before everybody on the tour
uses two hands
and when are we gonna see the first
woman professional
using two hands i don't know it's gonna
be sooner than you think that is for
sure because there's a number of youth
bowlers out there that are doing it at
this moment
one pin match
in game four
dallas leads two games to one of the
best of five energy emotions running
high here in portland maine
[Music]
the pba on fs1 is sponsored by

and by kiev and the new forte gt it's
one fantastic ride
randy and carolyn saw it last night
jay's oyster house on my second
lobster dinner
we're the clams and the corn of the cob
and you left the
best part for last oh the tail piano oh
my gosh you you even fantastic seafood
in portland you even ate the shell
not really
all right
two games to one dallas as the lead can
they put away
two-tone defending champ portland is the
question here
[Applause]
one pin lead for the strikers
top of the order for kyle
[Applause]
and the best of five
reset here
i can't believe you don't see more
people walk off sometimes with just the
shouting and the music i mean it's
awesome but you know you it can affect
your concentration just a little bit so
he did the best thing there stepping off
the ring
regrouping
[Music]
[Applause]
now it's ready
kyle troopers
[Applause]
just a little flat entering the pocket
about three consecutive 10 pins now for
portland
[Music]
which is the way the
championship match started remember guys
way back in game one they couldn't get
the quarter pin and i think on that left
lane
randy as you can see the teams even
while
uh you know we were going through the
the bracket that left lane the more
angle the flatter it did come in because
it just it tends to hook earlier
burns up
[Music]
norm duke steps up again and yeah
and what could be his last shot
in pba league gets a strike
trip 4-9
for one of the greatest ever
[Music]
from your right side i moved one and it
overlooked
quickly become a fan favorite here in
portland
[Music]
his wife can't even watch
[Applause]
he's been a lot of fun to watch
[Applause]
that was fun
response
[Applause]
[Music]
lumberjacks need a rally
yes
you know the other thing
i've noticed today
is the spare shooting has been
phenomenal yeah rock solid right you
know again for the dallas strikers they
are doing this for norm dude besides
wanting to win it really is all about
norm and they have definitely performed
as well as the lumberjacks put it back
to 12.
hard to believe that ball could leave a
flat 10 huh
[Applause]
523 reverie
someone's just purpose as high as my rev
rate said me never
[Applause]
at the mark now the table setters are
about to step up and prather and jones
this could be
this could be the
make it or break it for the lumberjacks
right here this shot
they call him shark chris corner
flush
no
and they can't be shut out
[Applause]
jones night frame
no
guess what folks we are going to game
five
four
[Applause]
so i'm gonna throw this out there yeah
tommy jones still one of the best to
ever get up and throw a shot when you
need him
do you think he's putting pressure on
himself
no
he misses he's too seasoned
two seasons he's been here he's been
here too many times
just an errant shot
ready mark will do it
send us to a fifth
and final game
got nine
we gotta do something different
[Applause]
[Music]
gotta make it
[Music]
portland wins game four
by that much
he's going to try something different on
this shot because
he's going to try a different ball
he said
when he came back i need something
different
proprietor charlie mitchell rings the
bell
because we're going fine
our symmetrical i guess
and this
and i think we pretty much covered
everybody's equipment i can't change how
much it's going to clip right exactly
it's blending it out
[Applause]
for game five
[Applause]
although matt ogle came back after his
first shot he said you could have that
lane because i do think they're both now
like you heard also kyle and chris
talking about how the lanes are cliffing
for them kind of like what you talked
about getting it too far right or
missing left which way do you want to go
two
games each
in the best of five
fifth and final game on the way from
portland maine here on fs1
[Applause]
[Music]
this is the pba league
game
five
tiebreaker
ten frames of going
one
elias cup
ring
the bell
[Music]
[Applause]
thank you charlie mitchell proprietor
[Applause]
and i like how let me tell you tim has
pulled that team together after every
game they've had a little huddle
focusing more again on their strategy
mentally
not so much physically although we are
going to see a change out of western a
lot he did
try a different ball on the field shot
it'll be interesting to see which one he
goes with starting the game
here's game five
here's normie
[Applause]
tough start to the fifth and final game
three four six you can kind of see by
his hand gesture he didn't get that ball
to the
paid maximum penalty
they certainly don't see that much hook
on the right lane do they
[Music]
[Applause]
tough start
dallas in game five
in the first game 226 195 the second
243-237
back-to-back wins for kyle troop and
portland and gaines three and four
223 and 235 games and here we are
in the final match up
[Applause]
true
yes
he's really got his mojo back doesn't he
after that first game he dialed it in
and he has been rock solid ever since i
mean that
at the start of the season it was a
tough season for him
and then he wins the playoffs
and
he's really got his mojo back
[Applause]
oh man
to a pimple o'neill there's the pocket
[Applause]
in an 02 hole
we're now in game five
and mr momentum has changed his address
to bayside ball portland maine for the
hometown lumberjacks rp no doubt
the real deal takes care of the
single pin spare conversion but they
need strikes and
this guy has created him
all day
he's been solid man
six strikes two spears
[Applause]
he is totally kept in the zone
[Applause]
wants to talk himself into a strike
looking for seven in a row
yes
is
you talk about the brakes shifting for a
team
portland has seen that they've put the
ball close to that 1-3
and wow
good job
max has focus now it's not over yet
[Applause]
santo needs a response
of game five for dallas
[Music]
coverage of this entire fifth game
uninterrupted
until we declare a winner
third plan for pacquie for a 32-pin lead
[Applause]
all
i mean think about that
[Music]
[Applause]
the biggest stat the lumberjacks care
about right now huge lead in game five
[Music]
unfortunate hall of famer tj's had a
couple of opens and inopportune
[Applause]
times carolyn what do you think and
what's going through your mind right now
i'm thinking that if
remember we talked about that lane
choice as to where you start where you
finish right if it was you know if i had
that choice i would have wanted to
finish on the right lane
because i just think there's more
forgiveness on the right lane the left
lane you have to get the ball to the
right
but as we saw with west's last game two
good shots balls burning up not quite
kicking out the 10. i think you have a
better shot on the right lane of kicking
back that ten a little more oil don't
have to be as steep
and if it goes to game five left lane
is just hooking too much absolutely
burning up early have to create too much
angle
brader
point 42-pin lead fourth frame light
dance got it
that's how great these players are
they know as soon as it leaves their
hand how good it is
damage control for dallas and oval
good job
it's a big lead round
west strikes here it's 52 pins update
the stats on the anchor bowlers
i mean noble's just been amazing and if
you had told me that west was only going
to strike four times i would have told
you you were nuts
[Applause]
in the pocket
[Applause]
he's gone through a couple different
balls
i mean that was an altered reality and
just not enough around to burn
i think
he can do it though with his hand i was
just going to ask you what do you think
west does best
release exactly yeah so
best part of this game
correct
[Applause]
what a piece
he's kind of using a little flip spin
release
to try to get it to push through the
front and come around the corner
[Applause]
[Applause]
now let's get back on the gravy train
with biscuit wheels right here
troops sixth spring
[Applause]
this dude's pillow is cool on both sides
look at that shot
inching closer max scores look good for
portland
[Applause]
[Music]
a chance for the turkey here o'neal to
cut it to 21.
he's got to have it
he's got it wow that was a beauty by
bill o'neil
i think the ball took out the eight pin
all right here's the man with the green
air
he has been
their emotional leader i think he's on
vpn i mean hey
i'm not gonna argue with that i think he
could be mvp if they win i'm telling you
it's my house
[Applause]
let's go
