Candlepin Bowling - Rosario Lechiara vs. Craig Holbrook (Higher Quality)

(Re-uploaded in higher quality and in HD. Also fixed a slight audio delay issue from original upload, which you can still find here if you would like to see it: • Candlepin Bowling - Ro... ) Air date: 4/7/1990. After Craig defeated Bob Kelly the week before, veteran bowler Rosario Lechiara would come in to try to dethrone him, and it led to a very exciting match with high scores, pins flying everywhere and some CLUTCH performances when it mattered most.
Hope you all enjoy, R.I.P. Rosario Lechiara and Don Gillis.

Rosario was a legend. Craig is still bowling today and does very well.

Don Gillis is definitely a legend.

At the 6:01 mark Don Gillis mentions Rosario Lechiara representing the Mohegan Bowl in Webster. Mohegan has an interesting set up, offering candlepin and ten pin lanes. A little over five years ago I visited Mohegan Bowl and bowled candlepins for the first time.

What did you think of candlepin?

[@frankmaiorana66]

@@karlschneider9479 I bowled them once and would love to bowl them again.

Thanks wolfie!

Hi Wolfman, I noticed that you took down the match that aired the week before this one (Craig Holbrook vs. Bob Kelly, 31 March 1990). Was there some sort of issue with it?

First lefty I’ve seen

[@timross6990]

Don always fondly recalls Rosario's high triple whenever he was on, and rightly so since it was the show record for so long. But I don't think he ever mentioned what each individual string was. Or the string total where he got a mark in every box. Does anyone know?

[@HalifaxHercules]

Rosario is best remembered being one of few Bowlers in this series to get a "Clean Game", which is a mark in every frame in one string.

[@kylebertulli4435]

164, 177, 127. I believe his 341 after the first two strings is a show record.

Announcer still cracks me up. Captain obvious 😅
