Stephen Lewis won his fourth ABT Masters title by defeating Kermit Crowe 246-184 at Brunswick Thunderbird Lanes.
Anthony Chorak opened the stepladder finals by defeating Raymond Paez 259-228. He then eliminated Walter Pekovitch 220-209 before falling to Kermit Crowe 224-192. Stephen Lewis started the championship match with a double to wipe out Crowe's handicap advantage and take an 11-pin lead. Crowe answered with a double of his own in frames three and four to cut the deficit to six pins, but Lewis fired back with a four-bagger in frames five through eight to take control of the match, winning by a final score of 246-184.
Champion's Profile: Stephen Lewis is 27 years old and employed as a teacher. He is single and has been bowling for 12 years. He currently bowls league at Hawthorn Lanes and has a high game of 300 to go along with a 789 high series. Stephen was using a Columbia TI Messenger drilled by Ron Dompke.

Part of his winnings will be used for a sumptuous dinner at Olive Garden with the rest going into the bank. Stephen thanked his opponent, Kermit Crowe, for a great attitude and closed his interview with a P.S. to Binky: "I always keep my promises."
