Levittown, NY: Abel David, a 59 year old IT Director from Franklin Square, NY, won his second LIGBT title at South Levittown Lanes.

The 4-person shootout was a very tight match as only 4 pins separated the bowlers after 5 frames. Jack and Rich had consecutive opens late which hurt their title hopes.
