$125,000 ARC PINOLE OPEN
Pinole Valley Lanes, Pinole, Calif., Jan 3-7, 1989
Schlegel Turns Out Lights In Pinole
Ernie Schlegel climbed past four opponents and overcame a 15-minute electrical breakdown to capture the $125,000 ARC Pinole Open at host Pinole Valley Lanes. He stopped leading qualifier Dave D'Entremont of Cleveland, 268-215, for the $18,000 first prize and his fifth PBA championship. Schlegel's win was his first title since 1985 and kicked off the 1989 PBA Tour for the 28th consecutive year on ABC-TV.
Schlegel, Vancouver, U.S.A., began the final game with a five-bagger and led D'Entremont by 31 pins before sparing in his sixth and seventh frames. He then book-ended another five-bagger to improve his four-game average to 244.
In the semifinal game Ron Williams, Cahokia, Ill., opened with a four-bagger and spare against Schlegel, who struck, spare, and tacked on a three-bagger when the lights went out.
Approximately 15 minutes later, play continued and Schlegel added two more strikes, while Williams had a mental lapse and failed to convert the 10-pin in his seventh frame. Williams regrouped with a five-bagger but fell short, as Schlegel was equal to the challenge and turned back Williams' spurt with a closing four-bagger to clinch, 259-253.

This was my favorite bowling tournment to watch when I was a kid. I watched it all the time until one I day I found out it that most of it had taped over. In fact the only part my mother didn't tape over was the blackout, now that's messed up. Anyway thank you for posting it.
That was great. A behind-the-scenes audio and visual telecast. Did anyone hear a swear word from Chris and Nelson? My ears did not. Then a blackout in the town for 15 minutes during the telecast. Then the chance to score the last game yourself. Plus great bowling from Ernie Schlegel.
Really awesome telecast! It's appropriate that Ernie won it. I didn't care for him when I first saw him on TV many years ago, but he really grew on me.
How awesome is to see this. That Championship Match wasn't even on TV. This must be one of the rare Shows in your collection!
This video takes me back to my days as a newspaper reporter when I covered some PBA regional and national events. I have no recollection of what specifically happened in any of those that I covered, save for the one in 1990 when Brian Voss announced his getting married and winning the tournament. The PBA was always accessible and cool with the media back then. It's really a shame that bowling attracts only a smaller demographic -- never thought that would have happened in my lifetime.
Pete Weber is my favorite
Another great post!!! Super rare!!! Thanks!

Having the power go off during a televised bowling event is something that you don't see every day!
kinda funny that someone can be that animated and PDW still makes him look like a class act...XD
Holy crap was that some bad tv!
wow what a great lineup!
The graphics show "Parker Rohn lll"!
All right I'm going to put that in my catagury lol
there were some exciting finishes in the 2nd and semi final matches
The older guy behind Chris Schenkel in the black jacket in the opening looks like Fred Goldman, the Father of RON Goldman who was murdered in 1994 with Nicole Brown Simpson.
What wrist device is Ernie wearing ?????!
