*** BLOEMKER WINS AT ZONE ***
Ralph Bloemker won his fourth ABT title by defeating Rick Wunder 198-185 at Brunswick Zone in Algonquin.
Mark Bester opened the stepladder finals by defeating Vincent Santucci 207-190. Bester then eliminated Tim McIlvanie 173-158 before falling to Rick Wunder 180-171. Wunder doubled to start the championship match and take a slight lead, but Bloemker came back with a double in the 3rd and 4th frames then again in the 6th and 7th frames to forge a 24-pin lead entering the final two frames. Bloemker struck in the 9th but missed a 7-pin in the 10th to give Wunder a chance to win with a double in the 10th frame. Wunder's first shot in the 10th was high, leaving a 7-pin, and the match was over.
Champion's Profile: Ralph Bloemker is 59 years old and employed as a Custodian for Joliet Junior College. He is married to Henny and they have three grown children: Sheryl, Pam, and Tim, as well as 13 grandchildren. Ralph has been bowling for 30 years and currently bowls in the ABT Vegas League at Espo's Country Lanes and at Lombard Lanes and Brunswick Zone in Naperville. His high game is 280 and he has a 737 high series to his credit. Ralph was using a Storm Bolt Pro drilled by Leon Burhoff at Bowlers Corner inside Lombard Lanes. Ralph thanked God for giving him the ability to bowl, Brunswick Zone for a nice shot, the ABT staff for running a first class tournament, his wife Henny for all her support, and Brian Leonard, Michelle DeBenedictis, and Dolores Finley for their support during the finals. Ralph said his winnings would be used to pay some bills and make a donation to his church.
CONGRATULATIONS RALPH!
