Greg Garbera opened the scratch division of the stepladder finals with a 216-185 win over Nicholas Muller. Gaucin then defeated Garbera in an exciting match, 239-225. He then followed with a lower scoring but equally thrilling win, 183-181 over Chris Pierson, to advance to the title match.

Top seed Andy Byer continued his season-long excellence by again gaining the top seed, and was desperate to end the statistical anomaly of not earning a win yet this season. Gaucin wanted no part of that, however, as he got out to a hot start and easily defeated Byer 237-181 for his 10th career JBT title, becoming only the 15th bowler in JBT history to get into double-digit title territory.

The always entertaining Peter Cane opened the stepladder finals of the handicap event with a 218-209 win over Debbie Read, who is having a fine spring on Tour. Elizabeth Romero then defeated Cane, 229-167, before prince stopped Romero, 253-227, to reach the title match.

Top seed Kyle Pearce enjoyed his best JBt event ever en route to the number one spot, but ran into a freight train in Prince, who rolled a huge game to defeat Kyle 271-220 for his first career JBT title.

Dan Romero beat a 16-bowler field to win the Big Rock Scratch Challenge, held before the regular event. He defeated Nathan Shock 246-242 for the title and a $150 bonus scholarship. Greg Garbera tossed a 300 game in round one of the event.

Thanks to the whole crew at Big Rock for another great job hosting our Tour. Over $1,600 was awarded at the event- want in on the fun? Come on down to the next JBT event, it's as simple as that!
