Championship decided by "One Pin" . . . . 

The Ft. Shafter tournament did not disappoint us as scoring was a little on the high side but a great finish!  We had 58 entries, 12 cashers and a 1st time Champion; scores in our “Beat the Board” format were exciting all day.  One could say that the scoring was high but it was soooo close.  The order of the day started with the leader and "Ft. Shafter's House Bowler" Jason Fujimoto at 1052.  Clint Kato didn't waste any time improving on his first score by posting a 1086 but it could have been better had he finished his first game with a higher score (instead of a 275) or been clean in his third game of the second squad, a 198 score.  Jeremy Ledetentered the third squad hoping to make the cash list, started slow but found a great line and shot a perfect no tap game.  He moved a pair of lanes and continued his scoring run finishing at 1090.  Not to be out done, Clint Kato was not giving in so quickly.  After the third game of the third squad,  Clint still had a 20 pin lead, as both bowlers started their fourth game.  It was Clint matching Jeremy strike for strike until the fourth frame, when Clint made an error, struggled a little, and found his line again striking off the sheet to finish at 1089.  A one pin win for Jeremy.  Wow!  How awesome was that.  Congratulations Jeremy! Jeremy thanks all the members of the 9 Tap Tour for their support and to Daniel Toyooka-Lim for not showing up!  He also would like to thank Shane Gasper for drilling his Roto Grip Hy-Wire bowling ball.  With his winnings, Jeremy plans to pay some bills and save the rest for "Whatever".
