FINISHING WITH A FLOURISH: RYAN ZAGAR SECURES SECOND MEN’S DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP

Fist-pumping 279 in the final match closes out a memorable Kenosha.com Match Game Bowling Tournament at GRC.

Closing in on completing a remarkable final-match rally to win his second Match Game Men’s Division title in three years, Ryan Zagar wound up with his big, powerful right-handed swing and sent a message.

The messenger made sure to deliver it.

It was Zagar’s electrifying ninth-frame strike in which a messenger — a pin that flies across the pindeck to knock over another and complete a strike — delivered the 10-pin to its fate with the other nine and sent Zagar into a ferocious fist-pump.

SURPRISE! RICH BELTOYA DEFENDS HIS SENIOR MEN’S DIVISION TITLE WITH A 10TH-FRAME FLURRY

Six-time champion holds off Dan Reynolds in drama-filled Match Game finale at GRC.

Divine intervention was the only logical — or illogical, depending on how you look at it — explanation for why the 10-pin went down on Dan Reynolds’ first throw of the 10th frame in his final match Thursday night.

But it’s like a one-liner for Rich Beltoya, Reynolds’ opponent in that last match: How good is Beltoya at bowling? So good even divine intervention can’t beat him. So good he wins when he doesn’t even know it.

A whole lot of pins fell over at Guttormsen Recreation Center on Tuesday night.

Precisely 31,379 of them.

PREGAME ROUTINE WORKS WONDERS FOR SENIOR MEN’S DIVISION LEADER DAVE SJUGGERUD

Second-place Dan Reynolds putting together a memorable run in the Kenosha.com Match Game Tournament at GRC.

Dave Sjuggerud has found a great routine, and you can bet he’ll stick to it the rest of the week.

First, a soak in the hot tub. Then, a drink.

That was the routine that Sjuggerud said helped get him nice and relaxed before the first night of the Senior Men’s Division finals on Monday in the Kenosha.com Match Game Bowling Tournament at Guttormsen Recreation Center.

Judging by the results, it worked.
