Lodge Lanes – July 19, 2025
Congratulations to Mike Calvin and Brian Newcomb on winning our Match-Up Doubles event held at Lodge Lanes. Calvin and Newcomb defeated Arnie Goldman and Butch Cormier 482-470 to take home the title. This was Calvin’s 8th SSO title, while Newcomb earned his 4th SSO title. The title match, Calvin and Newcomb pulled away early to a 22-pin lead, however, as most of our title matches do, this one came down to the 10th frame. Newcomb struggled to strike late, finishing with 214, while Calvin continued his hot bowling striking out for 268. This still gave Goldman/Cormier a chance to win with a couple doubles. Goldman went spare/strike, giving Cormier a chance to strikeout to win by a pin, however, he left a pesky 7-pin on his first shot in the 10th. Calvin and Newcomb collected $1000 each for their win, while Goldman and Cormier received $500 each.
We had 65 bowlers for this event. Qualifying was led by Brian Newcomb with 1503 followed by Jay Lang with 1502. Both Newcomb and Lang both shot 800 series in qualifying – Newcomb with 279, 299, 257 for 835; while Lang started with games of 258, 279, 289 for 826. The leader of the 60+ (SS) was Mike Calvin with a 6 game qualifying score of 1451; for the 70+ (SSS), Arnie Goldman had an impressive 1432; and our high lady was Stacey Timmer with 1445.
