TOM MULLAHEY WINS HIS FIRST LIGBT TITLE!

Posted On: February 23, 2025

Garden City, NY: The LIGBT ran Sport Shot Series #5 at AMF Garden City on Sunday and had the lowest scoring final shootout in its 17-year history! Tom Mullahey, Wantagh, NY won his first LIGBT title, and the $1,000 top prize, by defeating Maniram Basdeo, Bronx, NY 202-184. While Maniram earned $500 for 2nd place, finishing in 3rd was Shawn Cummings, Middle Village, NY with a 146 worth $300. Rounding out the top 4 was Eric Vecchi, Islip Terrace, NY with a 140 worth $250.

The final shootout on the “Alcatraz” pattern proved very challenging for all 4 bowlers. All 4 bowlers had only 1 strike and there was a total of 23 opens in the shootout. Tom had the least amount of opens (3) which propelled him to victory. Maniram fought the entire match and closed the lead with 4 spares in a row to finish his game. Shawn and Eric probably shot their worst game in a long time and had to settle for 3rd and 4th respectively.  

The LIGBT 2-squad sport shot tournament drew 75 entries, paid out $3,785 in prize money, and had 21 bowlers go to the cashing window. The side action awarded an additional $2,295 bringing the total event payout to $6,080.  

Scores to cash on the “Alcatraz” pattern were 636 at noon and 631 at 2pm. The wildcard winner was Darcy Monroe with a 1,280 six-game series. High series of the day was shot by our 4th place finisher Eric Vecchi with a 705 series in the 12pm squad.

Posted On: February 17, 2025

Deer Park, NY: The LIGBT visited Strike 10 Deer Park for a House Shot Spectacular, a 3-squad event featuring 3 divisions.
