*** scaletta climbs ladder at lakehurst ***

John Scaletta worked his way past four opponents to end a 3½ year drought and claim his fourth ABT Masters title. John qualified 5th for the stepladder finals and barely got by his first match with a 184-183 win over Steve Lunsford. He then eliminated Jim Wagenaar 238-203 and George Krulatz 209-181 to advance to the title match against top seed Dennis Kenny. The championship was dead even after eight frames. Dennis, who chose to finish first, spared in the ninth but then missed a 3 pin in the tenth, leaving the door wide open for John who doubled in the ninth and tenth to put the match away by the final score of 234-215.

Champion's Profile: John Scaletta is 53 years old and employed as a bank manager for Itasca Bank and Trust. He is married to Linda and they have two grown children, Lisa and J.S. John started bowling in youth leagues and currently bowls leagues at Espo's and Stardust. His high game is 300 and he has a high series of 835. John was using a Columbia Icon drilled by Joe Bacagaluppi at Back to Basics Pro Shop. John credits Joe Bacagaluppi's drilling of his equipment and his fixing John's thumb along with coaching tips from his wife and son as having helped him to improve his game. John thanked the ABT and Lakehurst for having the tournament, his wife Linda for her support, and everyone involved with the ABT, especially the staff. John said his winnings will be used to pay bills, the Vegas Nationals, and he is going shopping at Back to Basics.

congratulations john!
