Sunset Station
April 22nd, 2017
Total Paid Out: $2,757.00
![]() The 9-Tap Tour got off to an early start this past Sunday, beginning with our popular Crazy 8s contest at 10am. We had several new Members joining the contest for a total of 14 contestants creating 22 entries. Which helped us almost award two FULL entries into the main event. 9 bowlers made it to the elimination round, which took 7 rounds to complete. In the final round, first time contestant John Derespiris squared off against Bruce Smith and Ron McGinnis. In the 6th round both John and Bruce failed to record 8 when Ron struck, earning Ron the win and a full entry. For 2nd place, Bruce and John did a final round. John was able to come away with the 8 he needed as Bruce missed the opportunity to force another round. John was awarded a $50 partial entry into the main event.
The Tour and its Members were excited to return to Strike Zone at Sunset Station after almost 8 months away. After three early squads, 49 entries fought for the top spot on the leaderboard. 10 Members made the “Cash List” with a very nice 4 game cut score of 929 to make it to the money. The "Cash List" was also very diversified with both single and double digit handicap bowlers sharing in the money! There was also a two-way tie for the 9-Tap Jackpot with both Brian Colegrande and Brian Blackman recording no tap strikes from frames 1-3, earning them $25 each. Robert Rawling was in the hunt for his 5th Title, posting a nice 959 series with a nice 300 game in the mix worth $42.00, but that was only good enough for 3rd place and a nice check for $255.00. John Derespiris finished with an awesome 977 series for 2nd place, bowling in only his second event since joining the Tour. He takes home $340.00 for his efforts. In the end, Leon Pitcher earns his 3rd title worth $951.00 and a White Champion's shirt with a 4-game total of 993. This is Leon’s first title that was not a Year-End or Quarterly event. Congratulations Leon on #3 and to John and Robert for their Top 3 finish. Rounding out the Top 10 were Jermal Williams, Alfredo Basiga, Ann McGee, Okbum Shin, Brian Blackman, Ejay Zafra, II and Clifford Barker.
Leon Pitcher of North Las Vegas joined the tour during our Thanksgiving event in 2015. He has been bowling for about 11
