In the high-game department, Brad Pepperman strung the last 11 strikes twice, for games of 290, one in the Monday Night Classic League and one in the Intercommunity League.

Sometimes, you got to be lucky. According to the USBC record books, Milford, Connecticut’s Leon Kloeppner holds the record for most consecutive Brooklyn strikes in a 300 game, by stringing 12 Brooklyn strikes in one perfect game.

Or was he smart enough to take what the lanes gave him by deliberately aiming for the Brooklyn? A Brooklyn refers to a ball that crosses over to the other side of the head pin opposite of the side it was thrown.

Hope to see you on the lanes.
