BRUNSWICK ZONE MESA

  champs BJ Baker & Justin White

BJ Baker answered the call of a tightening Bowler of the Year race with his landmark tenth career JBT SW title, while Justin White capped off a personal hot streak with his second win, in exciting action at BRC Zone Mesa.

Baker had to climb the ladder to win his 7th title of the season, and began in fine style, with a 258-190 win over Elias Ewert, who was making his first scratch finals of the season.  In round two, Baker took out Kevin Saunders in a match rife with B.O.Y. implications 230-190.  He followed that with a dramatic 213-211 win over Philip Schwartz in the semis, when Schwartz failed to convert a disastrous 4-9 split in the tenth.

Top seed Cayson Coyle had thrilled the sellout crowd earlier in the day by opening the tournament with a 300 game, the 16th rolled in JBT SW competition this season. Unfortunately, he lost his look in the title match, while Baker's opening four-bagger added extra pressure to the situation.  Baker kept on stringing while Coyle kept on struggling, and the end result was a blistering 268-157 win for Baker, giving him his 5th title in Arizona this season, and a better grip on the points lead heading into the Invitational.

The handicap division saw one of its highest scoring events ever, with a +59 cut, and an amazing 15 bowlers finishing at +200 or better.  In the finals field of 8, four of the bowlers were in the top 5 in points, making for an intense set of matches. The ladder opened with Beth Houston rolling a fine 241, only to be outdone by Brian Weyrauch doubling in the tenth for a 243 game that also beat Gary Vose's 199.  In round two, Philip Stephens rolled his highest game ever, adding up to a 288 that easily beat Weyrauch (183) and Kris George (215).  In the semifinals, Kylee Bonneville's heartbreaking missed spare in the tenth gave Justin White a shocking win, as his 230 game beat Kylee's 228, and Stephens' 211.

White took advantage of the semifinal gift by pouring it on against top qualifier Kevin Schoenfeld.  Kevin was enjoying a dominant performance from start to finish, but was unable to stop White's roll, and Justin cruised to a 234-197 win, good for his second JBT SW title.  Kevin was very much consoled by the fact that his runner-up finish boosted him into the top 5 in points, earning the extremely valuable Invitational bye.

A sellout field of 96 bowlers shared in $2,075 in scholarships.  Thanks to Tim Brenden and his staff for another great visit to BRC Mesa!
