@TylerBowlJohnson Strikes allow you to win but players who fail to make their spares have no chance because professional bowling conditions are oiled in a much tougher way.
@Robert OConnor Rhinos were pretty good balls back in the day. I used a black one up until the reactives came out, and I loved it. I remember this tournament, and all the players who lost to Pete admitted they played the lanes wrong, they were too deep inside in the oil and weren’t able to carry like Pete was. If you look at Pete’s line, he was a couple boards outside of where the others were playing, and that was the difference.
@TylerBowlJohnson
That was the tale of this match. ; )

Robert OConnor Roth pigeonholed himself by signing on with team Brunswick. They were making junk by this time.
I wonder if Mark Roth won later that year
Yes, he won twice later that summer.
Mark Roth looks like the train ghost in the movie Ghost…GET OFF MY TRAIN!
Mark Roth is my all time favorite PBA Bowler
Mark Roth is best no matter what the scores say heck yeah.
Low scoring game. The 3 pound 8 ounce pins had a lot to say about that.
Weber is the man
