jailed right and with co- Captain co-manager Chris V in the mix and then you’ve got your buddy Tom dhy who’s done some micromanaging the thing that’s really interesting about this team Rob is that every one of their players has been in the anchor position which tells me the team is very versatile and if there’s one thing I know about manager Mark Baker he’s going to get 110% out of each and every one of his players talk now about the team that they face the team that is sitting a top of the standings and will not budge from number one Las Vegas yeah they’ve been dominant right and throughout the league they’ve only had three losses here’s Aj Johnson he’s done very nicely for the Las Vegas High Roller uh Las Vegas high rollers Matt Ogle which we will see on the tournament of

two continues [Applause] I’ll use this one race to two here [Applause] today you know what happens if we’re tied one a piece little shootout o love little shootout D for the pickup for akan careful got it Rob I predict low scores today why that saw a lot saw lot of Ure thing going down the lane early and they did not look easy there’s your lineup for Las Vegas Larson rash Russo Ole Anderson little Danish Dynamite here with Thomas Larson through the nose again and he’s got a split Two Shots both shots through the face this is going to be a big O Rock fight if they’re going to be nasty unless see your thing can develop some for the players later where they can move in with reactive res this 40 foot Don Johnson all pattern on the most infamous pair in the history of the PBA tour is going to be brutal brutal Fifth and final major of the season so much at stake yeah tomorrow on Fox Francois lavois from Quebec kebec kebec City the number two roller for the akan Adam Splitters you and I have a thing about names right yeah uh I got an issue with the Aran name you know it’s like when the NBA team New Orleans Jazz moved to Utah and became the Utah Jets right makes makes no Zer great jazz history in Utah oh I know right right so is there a lot of Adam splitting going on in akan these days that I’m none that I’m aware no Shawn rash for Vegas like how about like how about the yine Treads yeah or akan rubber meets the road I mean you’re going to move out of La you might as well change you know the name as well right I mean you’re going from LA to akan let’s get rid of Adam Splitters and go with something that makes sense right we already got a team in La you’re going to see them coming up later the cleverly named La X and not just the airport but La acts like a stri and where is silverlink it’s it’s like a it’s like one of those upand cominging neighborhoods right outside downtown see yeah and it makes no sense I know so we got to change the akan nickname next year I mean we’re happy to have them here I think it’s great team bowling is here in the wonderful city of akan you’re in fairon just outside of a probably the most iconic Center in the history of the sport are you asking me making a statement yeah yeah what would be seconds Woodland Indianapolis yeah third I mean Thunderbolts got so much history right age Thunder bol’s kind of sneaking up on me just just it’s just unique setup of it the arena type feel it’s where the world series of only got it start I mean you’ve got that one part of the house where all the qualifying happens and then the Dome host of the World Championship last week Matt Russo was on that show right strike there first ball back to back Jacks for the Vegas high rollers that is a nickname I approve of here he is folks it’s been a while Dick Allen been an MVP of this league before manager Mark Baker loves this [Applause] guy he’s going with reactive there you go good boy dick yep it’s fast and furious here isn’t it it is they’re not wasting any time oh PBA Elite League round 14 we wrap up the regular season here two matches this is match number one between akan and Vegas LA and Portland to come going to see this guy tomorrow on Fox Matt Ole your three seat here at the TOC Ole no love there on the right side it’s almost like they’re in a hurry to get to a Cleveland baseball game they’re out of town I checked

your system Matt you don’t want that tomorrow [Applause] no Chopper Come Little Nick Pate from Minnesota in the five spot for akan Adam Splitters name to be changed in the future according to Randy I’m going to give you that task in the off seon change the nickname and get us a job naming bowling balls only with your help mhm all right get the ball over to the left side of the head pin and cut it over into the 10 the ball will take care of the two and the four how did that miss the 10 overcut [Applause] it get a little love off the wall o I mean just missed it yeah just a little thin stupid 10 pin that a boy kid good sign Andrew Anderson almost had double wood there for a second Aj Johnson not rolling this game manager amlet monachelli making that decision well they wanted to put in Thomas Larson they haven’t seen a whole lot of him throughout the competition he’s been injured and and then when he wasn’t injured his look wasn’t very good and since the higher rollers have nothing to lose they’ve secured that number one spot hey let’s put in Thomas Larson why not first time this season for them Anderson picks that one up halfway through our Opening match Vegas and akan tight one here inside AMF Riviera [Applause] [Music] we welcome you back to AMF Riviera Lanes fairon Ohio just outside akan for the PBA Elite League presented by Snickers it is round 14 twin bill today we’re starting right now with the number one team in the league Las Vegas taking on akan take a look now at today’s Brunswick oil pattern it’s the Don Johnson 40 Randy yeah very tricky here on this Infamous pair 27 and 28 the players are using urethane and what that urethane is going to do is really create havoc in the front part of the lane and then drag oil down towards the pins so the question is whether or not is that how you draw Havoc just a circle in a mess like cat puke I I’ve never been really good with drawing but the point is is that how long can the player stay in that re that uh urethane before they go into reactive resin I think I saw one resin ball go down the lane and that was from Dick Allen and he struck Tom dhy as we begin the sixth Acron hey Mr 100 gets all [Applause] 10 you won’t let up on Poor Tom dhy that’s Tampa Tom man check this break out Rob trip 49 forward how often do you see this [Applause] watch Thomas Larson from Denmark oh oh my Lord hang in there Randy hang in there why are they yelling my name in the crowd I don’t know wow can’t figure that out you know at some point something to do with an eight pin at some point you have to let that go are you talking to yourself yeah I believe you brought it up during the commercial break actually that that was a text I just got from my therapist it’s all right keeping the therapist in business Larson kicks the eight pin into the [Applause] pit four pin match the Canadian Francois Novoa former Rookie of the Year back in 2016 major champion three time major Champion US Open couple times to at 21 it’s all 10 to go rolling some four pins on that left lane don’t let that get high now for Vegas Shan rash mom and dad in the crowd today I saw them off on the corner I don’t know if there’re are they still living in Alaska no I think that moved that would make that would that would make sense great shot great job I think they moved to Illinois to be close yeah be close to the grand kids smart

well you know you talk about the ginger assassin and the 710 splits made on television this has only been made once on television and that was by the great walree Williams Jr but either side you want

Championship lost it to the four seed EJ tacket EJ tacket in action tomorrow looking for his third straight win on the tour and a win that might lock up player of the year on it’ll certainly tie a

hook straight hard good job good life motto a little the Iceman Cometh yesper senson the only am swed I’ve ever met what tell me he doesn’t look Amish that beard was a stand in for the witness film a few years ago big strike for the Iceman strong second half of the season for spencon yes Gober Sweden made some nice cash at last week’s World Series of old yeah let’s stay with our Nordic theme from scand up Denmark Thomas Larson the release and the finish of all 10 Thomas good is it just me or these guys Bing fast it seems a high Tempo Pace seems quick you know what’s interesting though as we take a look at Larson’s release this happens in all sports and you can get caught up in it ton of college basketball a team is speeding you up that team gets trapped and it takes them out of their zone out of their the comfortable Pace that they want to be at bu to his credit to slow things down right there gets the result he wants but you’re right it’s warm in here it’s Up Tempo y there’s some energy in the crowd but wouldn’t you much rather see it this way than the slow pace for sure way more exciting the shot clock not needed today no just right a second arrow for Chris V Beauty here so AJ Johnson is up we were told he was not going to roll apparently he is now in the three spot that’s how fast things are going here guys Subs on the Fly speaking of Subs on the Fly how about the waiver wire pickup by Port just yesterday we’ll talk more about that in a second Aj Johnson leaving the 610 yeah that’s a great story Portland picking up another player due to some uh injuries on their team you know what one you know what one person told me due to some quotation mark injuries they’re able to pick up arguably the hottest bowler on the tour outside of EJ tacket that young man if he can turn his head around to us with a head of lettuce Eric Jones 19-year-old a great talent fun watching him last week Aj Johnson picks that one up really made an name for himself last week didn’t

good names being sent to me Randy I know you didn’t enjoy the uh Stone eight but yeah this is a theme that you and I have been talking about we had the Hall of Fame the PBA tour Hall of Fame induction ceremony yesterday yeah there is no home for the PBA Hall of Fame paint o oh yes the just right strike brought to you by just bear the mindful choice for high quality protein with no antibiotics ever just right just be just barely this was a just right strike all right so I got I got one I know you’ve gotten a ton yeah I’m sorry let me go back to the Hall of Fame we had the Hall of Fame last night there is no technical home for the PBA Hall of Fame that needs to change and this facility akan has been brought up as a potential home for the PBA Hall of Fame so maybe call them the akan Hall of Famers the AR Famers I don’t know I’m reaching here I I actually like akan Hall of Famers I got one that says uh somebody said akan Buckey feel like that that name is being used already in the state could be wrong I mean could you you couldn’t really infringe on oh House State I don’t think so no but you could lean into the colors right go all scarlet and GR [Applause] all right you see the max scores Adam Splitters with a chance to even things up nice shot there by Andrew but right now it’s up to your main man Tom dhy if anybody can handle the pressure bowling on television it’s this guy 2011 the lowest score ever bowled on television in a PBA event a 100 at the to he is Mr 100 Tom dhy with a chance to win it [Music] [Applause] though pure TD uhoh now you remember him shooting 100 you remember what his opponent shot at him major ma with a two n ner Tom was a great sport on that show wasn’t he but if he comes in I’m out that was one of the most amazing matches I had ever witnessed yeah same year I went into the Hall of Fame I’ll never forget talking about that telecast major ma making a quarter of a million dollars what Tom did and we had a great night you were there I was very good night 40 two in a row I remember after going out and youing with my ex-wife not sure that had any to do with it but that was before she was X right yes yes very yes all right so dhy clutch move from the one spot to the Anchor comes up huge in the 10th gives the akan Adam splitters for now the win so we got ourselves good old F roll up good time for the 710 yeah good timing good timing TD walk away from that one Tommy all right right okay all right so we’re going to select three players to roll one shot each in the shootout highest aggregate score again you can Max with a 30 will win if we’re still tied a fourth player from each team rolls one shot sudden death style it’s still tied a fifth etc etc you get it right all right so Baker parking out the orders there’s Shawn rash getting Las Vegas already locked up as the one seed for the PBA Elite League playoffs trying to go to 11 and3 this season akan must [Applause] [Music] win really give themselves a solid chance of moving up to Second and getting that by here’s dhy for [Applause] [Music] akan yeah good very nice K he’s take that Rob he’s yelling at me let’s go take that [Applause] Rob oh Mr finally gets a strike on TV finally has a voice all right oh man can we see that again a sh rash nine lucky to get that 10 to go yeah it was almost an 81 I got to see dhy do that again here’s Vai again not getting caught up in the pace is Vai slowing things down to his Tempo this is big for akan a chance to maybe steal second place [Applause] oh left the 10 how really good shot by Chris V Aj Johnson from iGo Illinois for the Vegas high rollers strike to tie it [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] messenger no got to go through the front door no dice all right now a strike for the Adam Splitters and it’s over and it’s the Iceman up for akan [Applause] how about just the Aon ican maybe we’re on to something yeah not bad I like that especially if yesper hits this one for the win

immediate thoughts were back in the day when we would drive up and down West Market Street looking for your Shield posted out on the street on the lamp posts and you would drive up and down the road on both sides until you found it buy a disposable camera snap a picture love it love it coming up next The Lumberjacks from Portland and LAX take [Applause] [Music] [Applause] flight tomorrow on FS1

here on FS1 Rob sto the Hall of Famer Randy Peterson back here with you you’re off x/ Twitter yeah good move good move I wish my kids could get off that sa so much time oh my doesn’t it does it it also saves I think some heartache as well right and some sanity right we asked our Pros what is the worst thing you have ever read about yourself on social media that is the subject of today’s ing questions with Kimberly presler presented by go bowling Kevin what is the worst thing that you’ve read about yourself on social media oh can’t tell you that one on live air sorry everybody uh that list is a mile long lately they’re on I look like a little kid bowling that just got out the shower I guess they don’t like this hair well I mean is that a bad thing that you look young no I guess it’s okay uh you know the clown of the PBA uh you know what is the worst thing that you have read about yourself on social media somebody once said I was a nice guy you are a nice guy probably winning Delaware saying like this guy’s a hack and doesn’t deserve this yeah it was pretty bad Matt what’s the worst thing that you have read about yourself online that I have big eyes when I was younger they used to hurt now I find them quite funny did you ever read anything and we like wait this is not true what ever maybe but most things are probably true that you read for every nasty thing that I read about myself I have you know a thousand really positive and and wonderful you know fans so thank you very much for following me and saying the nice things to the ones that say the nice things here’s the best strategy just don’t go online and read it just move on people say nice things it does happen in a small a small little part of the world nice things are said Jason B Monte the captain the manager the all everything for LAX and they’re about to take on the Portland Lumberjacks and Portland is kind of a mash unit right now that has a lot at stake in this upcoming Showdown yeah there’s a triage set up behind that team we’ve got several injuries to report about with the Lumberjacks Tom Smallwood he’s out with a hip injury uh Kyle Cho’s out with a shoulder injury uh the big nasty banged up so what does manager Tim Mack do he hits the waiver and he gets a hold of that guy right there Eric Jones Eric Jones was actually two hours down the road after the Tournament of Champions qualifying Timmy gets him on the phone and says hey I need you to turn around and come back I need you to bowl for The Lumberjacks what a pickup and what a splash this guy made uh last week at the world series of bowling I I I think it’s probably the steel of the draft yeah got him on the highway said pull over hang a U-turn I’m going to go through the proper channels to make sure here Jones rolled in about 2 and 1 half hours ago finally took practice with his new teammates and said if there was a team I wanted to be on it was this team the Portland Lumberjacks oh the strong just got stronger we’ll see how the kid works out for Portland again Portland with the win they go to second with a loss they drop all the way to fifth here’s a look at our Bowl TV highlights four teams wrapped up their PBA Elite League regular season in this facility Monday night the btown musle behind EJ tacket and Justin nolles they took care of the Dallas Strikers two to zero in the Waco wonders with MIT chupe in the Hall of Famer Tom Hess dropped the New Jersey kingpins 2 to1 Dallas Waco officially eliminated from playoff contention as we take a look at our live updated standings and guess who is now in SEC yes the akan atom Splitters Portland could usurp them and move up to number two with a win with a loss they will be down to number five let’s go down to Kimberly with two of our big stories thanks Rob so Eric when we talked pre-show you told me you have zero team bowling experience and you only just practiced with Portland for the first time two and a half hours ago so how are you meshing with the team uh luckily it’s a team pull of guys that I have a lot of admiration for and I’ve gotten to know pretty good so it’s a good circumstance for me I get a well or I get along with those guys pretty well how exciting is it that your first team bowling experience is with the three-time Champions the Portland Lumberjacks I mean I couldn’t paint a better picture like I growing up watching bowling team bowling I think of Portland Lumberjacks and I couldn’t be more excited to be bowling on that team we in Jersey have these last few weeks for you just been an absolute dream oh yeah it’s I bowled exactly how I want to be bowling out here and like couldn’t be any better except for winning good luck and go have some fun today Jason so you guys have actually secured your spot in Portland as the number six seed but you guys have a chance to disrupt Portland here getting that by week so how do you plan to do that yeah I think the first thing that we need to do is um you know to make better moves and to be better we’ve talked a lot about it in the last few weeks uh about some of these adjustments that we need to make and today is a day for us to put it into practice we don’t have a lot to play for I know Portland does but at the same time we want to make sure that we’re starting to get that team jelling thing happening and what improvements did you want to make a look it basically just comes down to consecutive good shots I feel like all season we just haven’t made consecutive good shots so it’s hard to bowl well when you have strike split strike spare strike split strike spare strike split so we’re going to stop doing that and uh it’s going to start today I hope and if it doesn’t it’ll start in Poland good luck to you guys today Kimberly thank you take a look at our starting lineups for LAX great name horrible airport Kevin mun Tomas how are we going to pronounce his name whatever we do it’s going to be wrong Tomas K but that’s still going to be wrong so I’ve tried all right there’s mun I call him Tomas Tomas you can call him Tom maybe I will I call him Kevin mune from Monster [Applause] Indiana Oh that wh oh my goodness you want to talk about going from one side of the spectrum to the other we were watching the uane balls go down the lane then big strong Kevin mun steps up with a reactive and this looks like somebody kicked it when it got about three4 of the way down the lane watch this left turn it’s like you missed the exit uhoh uhoh W get in there Portland Graham Fox Terell mot cther and then the teenager Eric Jones seven pin left for fa good pitch I think the managed by Tim Mack he’s been to every event every one of these he’s the best such a good guy yep been a good friend for many years big Tim I think it’ll come off probably the best Amer bowler in the history of Amer bowling USBC Hall of Famer USBC had their Hall of Fame inductions this week as well a little bit a Hall of Fame that you and I will never be in the USBC Hall of Fame so we have that to look forward to hey which is nice they have the power to change that until then there is one Hall of Fame that exists in Bowling the PBA Hall of Fame fight me on it Thomas kou from Kelly Finland how’s that sound to say it fast right to the nose lucky break leaving just a three pin lucky is right uh Timmy can you grab that two up the lane with the reactive ball and it goes right through the face very fortunate just to leave a three pin for tomasas K I like how you whisper the end of it k i I have a story to tell you about his last name next time he’s up okay try to [Music] remember I want you to give me a this line anyway I want you to go and get hear belmo barking at him in the background yeah he’s he does that he’s on top of every one of his players he

could get the blue hair shaken coming back to its home to roost love it Darren Tang in the eight gets all 10 to go back to the Lumberjacks currently in third could dip to fifth with a loss could rise to second if they’re able to Rally in come on franch one time game two and then force a little rolloff fun here’s the big nasty West mot fighting some injuries right now we saw it in his first shot and open frame in the third left that 710 [Applause] split yeah he’s just not able to get his hand in the right spot and again this is a Portland team that is banged up Kyle troop unable to go due to a shoulder injury Tom small W out due to a hip injury I mean we were this close to having Tim mull tonight he might have to step in for B West looking down and another open frame for the nasty here’s Dom Barrett sitting on a 47 pin lead here in our Opening match of our race to two again La already off to the playoffs they will be your six seed when our coverage of the PBA league reses in September

want to move up to second place and get a buy a little sub here for the last shot Kevin Williams from Roseville California up Lefty we’ll take it we’ll take it we’ll take the W sorry here’s the kid from The Edmund Oklahoma during Co he and Pops built a one Lane Bowling Center in their sidey yard complete with ball return yep pin Setter amazing this is a kid to watch out [Applause] for and that’s why outside of EJ tack he may be the hottest bow in the tour right now keep thaty for the next game great job his dad last week plays the saxophone National anth national anthem to kickoff the world championship quite impressive nailed it to naed didn’t he I mean and let’s give Tim Max some credit right got to work that waiver wire man like a good GM opportunity exists to strengthen your team that’s what you do it’s all right it’s fine you could have just that over there somewhere 4 six [Applause] [Music] woo try to cut it slide that for to the six so Portland takes the loss let’s talk to their manager Tim ma Timmy what kind of adjustments do you make moving over that left lane to try to even things up well we’re going to the good Lane we knew that the left lane hooks more so we’re going to go to the good Lane we feel real confident still that we’re going to take the second game and then we’re going to be in a good position in the rollof so we just got to make some moves uh so that we don’t make mistakes early and try to get out of the gate early we know your your squad is banged up and talk about the health of Wes mot yeah even Wes is banged up a little bit with his elbow so you know he’s he’s doing it on guts right now but I expect the franchise to throw two really good shots this last game and you know put us in a good position and we’re fine we’re going to be just fine we just got to get off to a good start make the necessary moves and we’ll be in the hunt don’t you worry about that all right thanks I think Chris pther needs to get a little closer to his manager during that interview like looking in his ear hole the entire time yeah I like that give me some space tang and La Maul Portland in our opening game what will game two between LAX and Portland [Music] deliver the on Lane Graphics you see including the oil patterns which are projected on today’s Lanes courtesy of our great friends at clutch bowling as we welcome you back to AMF Riviera Lanes just outside akan Ohio it is the PBA Elite League presented by Snickers round 14 the final round before the playoffs kick off in September in Portland Maine the Portland Lumberjacks they know they are off to the playoffs but will they be the two seed and receive a buy or a five seed that’s the difference between winning and losing today they lost the first match have to have this one otherwise they’ll finish in fifth place and not a good start for Graham f as he leaves the 610 get Portland kind of struggling out of the gate spare strike open frame open frame for them in their first frames in their Opening match most important thing about being a top two seed you get that b nice pick up by fob no changes for either side so mun will be up first for LX just one tour title it was a major in the PBA Players Championship back in 23 this target a little different ball reaction on that right lane think we got that a little too far you heard Tim Max interview before we went to break saying the left lane hooks more we’re very confident over there and right here you could see that right lane showing up you can’t get it back from that spot [Music] [Applause] Kevin seven to open up for MCH you feel like from all right Arturo quo make the move okay on had a walk away strike and then a star down strike in our Opening [Applause] match see if he makes a big enough move [Applause] [Music] left he’s been perfect yeah got you ready to go he’s into it always way to stay satisfying moment of the match sponsored by Snickers nothing satisfies like a Snickers nothing satisfies like a Kino strike today here in [Music] Fon thasu what Tom Kao Thomas k hasn’t been his uh afternoon has it it has not much straighter than yeah I think Kevin mun shot but he tried it see if he could hold it online and wasn’t terrible but still four pin with my bull Spade but again it’s up to how you feel belmo his manager and his anchor 25-year-old from Finland sixth year on the tour yet to win did have a second place finish earlier this season in Delaware completes that spare so open frame spare to start for LAX all right West mot open frame open frame in our Opening match big nasty battling some injuries that right elbow you can it’s almost kind of painful to watch you could really see a difference in his ball rotation just doesn’t look the [Applause] [Music] [Applause] same there you go nasty find a way go big that’s you way to go can’t really extend his arm his knee’s bad so he has to go with the higher launch angle off the lane and that’s what creates that Loft Darren Tang this first season with lax longtime member of the New York New Jersey [Music] franchise thrs that one in yeah good shot by Darren mo one [Music] the three time Champ here in this event is cther with Portland there you go I was thinking about giving him a new nickname so he’s got a shark and then I think there’s I was I like Kesler smooth as silk okay well it’s better than shark so that’s a start go back to the drawing board Focus renaming akan will you okay Barrett seriously what do you think the odds are that you and I can name a line of bowling balls this off season I think there’s a shot yeah I think they I think we could probably name a couple yeah I think I think we’re worthy of that we go here’s Eric Jones from Edmond [Applause] Oklahoma yeah good pitch I like that I like that kind of up the lane a little bit more than he wanted I like that that’s the six that’s all that’s kid’s a hell player Lumberjacks off to Bayside Bowl will they be the two seed or the five seed all hinges on how this game goes they must win it force a roll off a chance to move up to Second and get that [Applause] by very solid does he not know any better I mean he’s 19 he’s he’s supposed to be nervous

prefer yes sir oh what a pick up oh boy Kevin have that for dinner all right [Applause] boys Dy here think he knew that one on release felt really good think about the accuracy when you’re throwing it
