A new scratch doubles record was set this year. Robby Porter rolled an 846 series along with Jeff Wurm’s 751 series to set a new all time high record for the books. These two gentlemen from the Greater Sacramento Area USBC had a combined score of 1597 scratch to beat the 1500 record set in 2004.
Two bowlers rolled 800 series: Robby Porter of Rancho Cordova rolled an amazing 846 series and Antoine Allmon of Stockton, an impressive 805 series. Two bowlers had perfect 300 games: Nick Morgan of Sacramento and Eric Nelson of Salinas. We also had six 299 games.
