Medina\u2019s Jim Foss rolled a 257 game in the four-bowler finals on Sunday afternoon to capture the 60-and-Over Tour presented by Batavia Downs Gaming tournament at Medina Lanes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 62-year-old hard-throwing right-hander had to wait to see if that score would be enough to claim the $535 top prize, however, as Rochester\u2019s Don Perrault stepped on the approach for his 10th<\/sup> frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Needing three strikes to beat Foss by one pin, Perrault came through with the first two strikes. He then rolled the ball into the 1-3 pocket on his final delivery but the 5-7 split remained, giving Foss a 257-256 victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perrault earned $415 for his runner-up finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Nowicki of Rochester placed third, rolling a 223 game to win $325 while Cortland\u2019s William Young finished fourth with a 215 game, good for $260.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A record 74 bowlers competed in the event, with 16 reaching the eliminator round and another eight bowlers cashing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foss, the bowling center\u2019s proprietor, qualified in the fifth position with a 696 three-game series before advancing through three rounds of the eliminator finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The four bowlers eliminated in the semifinals each won $205. They were Pat Stefanik and Ron Ciminelli of Buffalo and Mike Feola and Pat Donaghue of Fairport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
