Romeo Sisters Place 3rd in LPBT Doubles
Amateur Joslyn Jennings of Chicago and Cheryl Daniels upset top-seeded Michelle Mullen and Donna Adamek, 204-192, on Thursday night to win the LPBT National Doubles Championships.
Jennings, the 1987 Chicagoland Woman Bowler of the Year, became only the second amateur ever to win an LPBT title while Daniels moved into a tie with Robin Romeo with her fourth title of the year.
Jennings and Daniels advanced to the title match with a 205-177 victory over sisters Tori and Robin Romeo of Van Nuys. Jennings and Daniels, who qualified for match play in 17th place among 18 teams, clinched the $14,000 first prize when the amateur carried a strike on her second ball in the 10th frame.
Mary Martha Cerniglia and Pat Mercatanti started the stepladder finals with a 163-154 victory over Paula Drake and Leila Wagner.
Cerniglia and Mercatanti then defeated Vicki Montgomery and Lorrie Nichols 190-186 and the Romeos won the third match, 210-185.
The LPBT National Doubles concluded the Ladies Pro Bowlers Tour’s summer series.
