And I had five guys behind me, so it gave me all the confidence in
the world.”
The PBA League’s championship was decided by two “race to 2
points” Baker team matches. The Baker format requires each of the
teams’ players to bowl two frames to complete each game. Ties in
games or matches were broken by a one-ball sudden death roll-off.
“That was fun. That’s what it’s all about,” said Lumberjacks man-
ager Tim Mack, who earlier this year was inducted into the United
States Bowling Congress Hall of Fame. “I felt comfortable with the
guys. We had a really good practice session beforehand, but do you
ever think you’re going to sweep a team with the kind of firepower
L.A. X had? No way. We made some key ball changes, made some
key moves and, man, did my guys bowl good.”
Regarding Malott’s performance, Mack said, “It might have been
the greatest performance by an anchor bowler I’ve ever seen. I call
him ‘The Franchise’ for a reason.”
Portland, behind a string of four strikes in the middle of any oth-
erwise error-free game, won the first point with a 228-206 decision
over L.A. The Lumberjacks quickly surrendered their advantage
with two splits and open frames to start game two, but rebounded
behind five consecutive strikes and L.A. X’s inability to throw back-
to-back strikes to win the game, 214-188, and sweep the first “race
to 2 points” match.
The Lumberjacks carried their momentum into the second match,
putting together two strings of four strikes – including three in the
10th frame by Malott – to win their third point, 221-197, and com-
pleted the four-point rout of L.A. X with a 247-208 win in game
four, starting the decisive final game with five strikes while L.A.
couldn’t overcome a barrage of single-pin spares.

Williams, who didn’t bowl in Hammond

Proprietor Hiking Appalachian Trail
To Raise Funds For BVL
Texas bowling proprietor David “Kilroy”
Kellerman, who earlier this spring embarked on a
more than five-month hike through the
Appalachian Trail to raise funds for BVL
(Bowlers To Veterans Link), is closing in on the
end of his remarkable fundraising efforts for vet-
erans.
Nearly four months after starting his 2,190-hike
through 14 states to raise awareness and funds to
support BVL and veterans programs, Kellerman
had completed two-thirds of
his solo trek, with less than
800 miles left in his journey.
The bowling industry rallied
for Kellerman at the recent
Bowl Expo in Las Vegas,
helping him to surpass his
original goal of $50,000. His target now is
$75,000 before he finishes the hike in mid-
September.
BVL Board Chair John LaSpina, whose Maple
Family Centers pledged $2 per mile for Kilroy’s
journey, is encouraging others to help Kellerman
reach his goal and also get donations in before the
end of BVL’s fiscal calendar on July 31. “David’s
perseverance and determination to complete this
journey for all veterans are tremendously inspir-
ing,” said LaSpina. “Everyone at BVL and
throughout the bowling industry is so grateful for
his commitment to veterans, and we want to wel-
come him home by helping him reach his new goal
of $75,000.”
The toughest part of the hike to date may have been
the exceedingly rocky terrain of eastern
Pennsylvania, where he was joined by BVL
Executive Director Mary Harrar for an 11.5-mile day
hike. Harrar was inspired by her time with Kellerman

his first PBA50 Tour win.
Ventura then defeated PBA Hall of Famer and
10-time PBA50 Tour winner Ron Mohr of Las
Vegas, 223-177, in the second match to advance
to the semifinal match against three-time PBA50
Tour titlist Harry Sullins of Chesterfield Twp.,
Michigan. In a high-scoring match, Ventura start-
ed with the first eight strikes which was enough to
hold off Sullins to win 268-245.
Mohr survived a long road to the finals advanc-
ing through the cashers’ round and two match
play rounds to make it to the championship round.
Sullins was trying to end an eight-year title
drought with his last win coming in the 2011
Senior Lake County Open at Olympia Lanes.
and moved by the support for his efforts from his fel-
low proprietors at Bowl Expo. “It was an incredible
experience to hike with David and get a little insight
to what he faces on a daily basis and how motivated
he is by the support from the bowling community,”
said Harrar. “He is determined to complete this hike
because of how it will help BVL to continue to sup-
port programs that make a difference in the lives of
veterans.”
After starting at Springer Mountain in Georgia on
April 3, Kellerman hit the
1,300-mile mark in early July
as he left Pennsylvania, and
has crossed through New
Jersey and New York in recent
days. The trail ends at Mount
Katahdin in Maine. Only one
in four thru-hikers actually complete the journey
each year, and less than 700 people accomplished
the feat in 2018. The full Appalachian Trail passes
through six National Parks, eight National Forests,
and two wildlife refuges.
Donations to support Kilroy’s Appalachian
Trail Hike for Veterans can be made at BVL.org.
Follow the final weeks of the hike on Kilroy’s
Facebook page.
Founded in 1942, BVL is bowling’s oldest and
own charity and is consistently acknowledged for
efficient and effective programming delivered
with extremely low overhead. Kellerman, who co-
owns Mel’s Lone Star Lanes in Georgetown,
Texas, is self-funding the trip to ensure the maxi-
mum benefit of his fundraising efforts for veterans
programs.
To donate and follow Kellerman’s journey, visit
the Kilroy’s Appalachian Trail Hike for Veterans
Facebook page or BVL.org.

PBA SPARE SHOTS

WALTER RAY WILLIAMS JR. ADDS ANOTHER
UNIQUE FEAT TO HIS RESUMÉ
PBA Hall of Famer and multi-record holder Walter Ray Williams Jr.
added another unique feat to his lengthy resumé during the PBA50 River
City Extreme Open in Monticello, Minn., when he bowled a 300 game
using the increasingly popular two-handed technique. Unofficially
(because the PBA has never tracked such a feat) Williams is the first
player ever to bowl 300 games in PBA national competition using the
traditional one-handed technique as well as two-handed.
In addition to his two-handed perfect game, the 59-year-old Williams
also has bowled 108 “traditional” 300 games in PBA competition.
PBA West/Northwest Regional Manager Gary Mage has noted that
regional competitor Dean Richards of Tacoma, Wash., also has accom-
plished the one-handed/two-handed 300 feat in PBA Northwest Region
competition.
