For the first time in many years, the Genesee Region USBC is fielding a scratch league as 14 bowlers \u2013 seven two-person teams — are battling it out every week on Tuesday nights at Rose Garden Bowl in Bergen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus far, the scoring pace has been pretty high with all but six bowlers averaging 200 or better, led by Jim Lambert of Batavia with a lofty 236 average after seven weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brian Green, one of three left-handers in the league, raised his average to 225 this past week by rolling 229-300-279\u2014808 on lanes 7-8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Green, who is running his Striking Effects Pro Shop from his Pavilion home these days, recorded 21 straight strikes before leaving a 7-pin in the 10th<\/sup> frame of the third game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is the second 800 series in the association this season. Brian Cline of Middleport, also a lefty, posted 803 on Sept. 11 at Medina Lanes. Green\u2019s big series bumped a 796 by Jeremy Vallance into the second spot on the leaderboard and the 300 did likewise to the 299 by Dave Montemarano Jr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lambert and Montemarano have built a 20-point lead over Kyle Johnson and Vallance; the 7 p.m. league \u2013 which is sponsored by Rose Garden Bowl — bowls for 15 points per night based on head-to-head and team totals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other action at Rose Garden Bowl, lefty Rob Husted finished with a 300 game in the Thursday Owls League on Oct. 23, finding the line after a pair of 178 games, and Chris Dunn sandwiched a 300 game between 189 and 170 on Oct. 29 in the Wednesday 7 C’s Homies Handicap League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Mount Morris Lanes, Shawn Yates (on Oct. 5) and Tony Farruggia (on Oct. 11) recorded perfect games, with Farruggia posting a 798 series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And at Mancuso Bowling Center in Batavia, Chris Bailey notched a 290 game in the Tuesday Triples League on Oct. 28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
