Dick Weber and Joe Hutchinson were up next, but Weber suffered a 4-6-10 split in the fifth frame and the 4-6-7 split four frames later. That added up to defeat as Zikes and Wunderlich finished with four strikes for a 228-189 win and a shot at the title.
They were not to be denied. When Salvino missed a three-pin spare In the fourth frame, the match was all even, but Husted then missed the 3-6-10 in the seventh frame while Zikes and Wunderlich were busy stringing strikes for victory.

36-GAME TOTALS
Steve Wunderlich and Les Zikes did bowl amazingly well together as a team
Andrew Phillips
Marshall Holman and Mark Roth bowled better than lucky Wunderlich/Zikes overall
@@douglasharris5216 Well, that's two different events. In this event, one of the bowlers had to be Senior Tour eligible. Roth and Holman bowled the regular PBA doubles event.

the 2nd match was exciting and very close

The first match was boring and not close enough to be interesting!
