My First 600 Series
by James FlahertyGrowing up in Elmira, NY, of course I was in bowling leagues. That continued at RPI with Acacia in the IFC Bowling League. One night, we rolled against TEP, and I rolled a 201 in game 1. Rolling a 200 was not common for me, so I thought I was finished with those for the night. Game 2, a spare, an open, and then 8-in-a-row!!! After a spare to close out the 10th, I looked at the score ... It was a 255!!! Whoa! I was emotionally spent and came down to earth with a 155 for game 3. Final tally: 611. My brothers & sisters were extremely proud.
