*** MUSIAL EARNS BLACK SHIRT AT WOODFIELD ***
Keri Musial earned her "black shirt" by winning her second ABT Masters title with a 227-220 victory over Steve Mende at Woodfield Lanes. Jeff Proctor opened the stepladder finals by defeating Matt Barker 231-191 before falling to Musial 243-202. Musial then eliminated Manros Nickens 303-217 to advance to the title match against top seed Steve Mende. Mende started the championship match with the first five strikes to take a 26-pin lead, but splits in the 6th and 8th frames gave Musial the room she needed, and she took advantage to come away with the final 227-220 victory.
