Candlepin Bowling - Todd Shafer vs. Tom Olszta

Special thanks to Todd Shafer himself for providing this tape that originally aired on 8/20/1988. ^_^ This was the final match of the 1987-1988 season of Candlepin Bowling on Channel 5, featuring Tom Olszta going for his second win in a row after defeating Gary Carrington the week before. Todd Shafer would be his opponent who was making his first appearance on the program.

This program really set the stage for an INCREDIBLY dramatic finish to end the season itself, with this telecast being the last chance for either bowler to qualify for the 1988 True Value Championship Show. You'll see why it was such an exciting match to watch especially down the stretch when all was said and done. :D

Thanks again to Todd for providing this AWESOME match, hope you all enjoy and R.I.P. Don Gillis.
