300? Oops!!!
« on: January 15, 2004, 06:37:04 AM »
Funny, but sad story here.  A buddy of mine had 12 strikes in one game and only shot 299 last night.  How you ask?  He had the first 9 and got up to throw the 10th shot and crushed the hole: Strike!  Someone brought it to his attention that he shot it on the wrong lane!  So he gets himself on the correct lane and strikes on the 10th and 11th and a 9-count on the fill ball.  So there you have 12 strikes in one game and shoot 299.  I'm kinda glad it wasn't me!

Naw, not his first.  I think it would have been his 6th 300.
