Every single teammate gave me positive feedback, said they had all the confidence in the world, Rash said. Ciminelli told me to throw a good shot; I told him I was going to throw the same shot I threw at him to win the Tournament of Champions last year. All five of our guys are great players. All of us can throw strikes when we need to, Rash added. It shows my picks were pretty good. I picked up a team I knew would never give up, a team that would be competitively ready and guys who can get along. In team sports, everyone has to jell and thats what we had. Sundays win gave the STyLES 18 points in the race for the top five positions for the end-of-season PBA League Elias Cup finals. Owner Billie Jean Kings KingPins earned 12 points as runners-up. Sundays PBA League round included the top five of eight five-player teams that had qualified over a span of four days and 32 team games on four different lane conditions as part of the PBA Detroit Winter Swing at Thunderbowl Lanes. In the semifinal match, the KingPins and Jerome Bettis Motown Muscle threw matching strikes and spares through five frames before the KingPins took the lead behind strikes by Tommy Jones and Jack Jurek. Open frames by Tom Smallwood and Mike Fagan in the eighth and ninth frames put Motown in a hole it couldnt escape. The KingPins advanced to the title contest, 226-191 In the second match, Motown anchor bowler Mike Scroggins threw three strikes in the 10th frame to extend his teams string to five in a row, erasing a 14-pin deficit and forcing Strikers anchor Rhino Page to strike on his first shot in the 10th for a chance to win. Page, however, left the 4-6-7-9 split and the Muscle advanced with a 214194 win. In the opening match, the Strikers roared out of the gate with six consecutive strikes while the Silver Lake Atom Splitters, owned by comedian Chris Hardwick, didnt have a strike until Josh Blanchard threw one in the eighth frame. Terrell Owens Dallas-based team easily moved on with a near-perfect 278-171 victory. The Detroit Winter swing included five rounds of PBA League competition, with points awarded after each round. The top four teams after five rounds will advance to the Elias Cup finals, named in honor of PBA founder Eddie Elias, which will be conducted March 31 at Woodland Bowl in Indianapolis as part of PBA Tournament of Champions week.
