Candlepin Bowling (From Sammy White's!) Jim Orlandi vs. Tom Olszta

Air date: 11/5/1983. Special thanks again to Tom Olszta, his wife Karen, and also Aaron Fontaine for providing this tape.

After defeating Fran Onorato the week before, Tom Olszta had to face off against veteran bowler Jim Orlandi (NOT Lombardi! As you'll find out throughout this show LOL) as the show was heading towards Thanksgiving time in late 1983.

A VERY quick start from one of the bowlers in this show really paved out how the rest of the match would go down, and led to some VERY high scores too, including the third highest triple (at that point) for the 1983 - 1984 season of the show. In the end though, the total score posted would only be good for the 7th best overall triple from that particular season when the 1984 Championship show actually happened roughly 9 months after this show aired.

Hope you all enjoy, R.I.P. Don Gillis.
