*** SHERIDAN WINS AT WHEATON ***
Richard Sheridan won his first ABT title by defeating Mark Witherby 213-210 at Wheaton Bowl. David Lee opened the stepladder finals by defeating Domingo Rosa, Jr. 195-193 in a one-game roll-off after they tied at 186. Lee then defeated Diana Murphey 212-149 before falling to Mark Witherby 228-214. The championship match was a nail-biter that came down to the final frame. With Sheridan clinging to a one-pin lead entering the 10th, Witherby counted seven on his final fill ball, while Sheridan got nine to account for the final three-pin victory.
