Jack Keith opened the stepladder finals by defeating Lynn Koenen 212-200. Jack then ousted Dave Fitzpatrick 290-206 before falling to Brian Spiller 199-158. The title match was close throughout and wasn't decided until the tenth frame. Brian finished first and left John needing a double to pull out the match. John pulled his first shot high, leaving a 6-10, and the match was over as Brian hung on for the 202-198 victory.
