Babylon, NY  - May 23, 2003

Ask Scott Teitler, Patchogue about the meaning of "new life". He is an expert at it. Not once, but twice Teitler has experienced the Miracle of Miracles within the last two weeks. First, Teitler is a proud Daddy these days with the birth of his first child, a daughter two-weeks ago. This past Friday, Teitler himself was given new life courtesy of Frank Kase, Deer Park. And Teitler, just as his newborn daughter, came out kicking and firing on all cylinders.

Competing in the Adult Scratch Division, Kase seemed to have the Championship Match in control. Needing to mark on his last ball of the night, Kase picked the 6 off the 3 and finished the night with a 234. Teitler, who had all but removed his bowling shoes as Kase threw his last shot, suddenly found himself no longer on the outside looking in. Teitler, with a 184 through 8, and a mark up in 9, needed to throw 3 strikes in the 10th to tie Kase and to force a 2-frame rolloff. Can somebody say "flush"? Because that is simply what Teitler accomplished in frames 10, 11 and 12. While the words never came out of Teitler mouth, for those that know him well, the 3 strikes had meaning. "Flush, just to set the tone here", "Flushier then the one before just to add excitement" and "Flushiest, because Frank, you should know better".

In the two frame rolloff, Kase slightly pulled his first shot in the 9th and the ball went square face and he left the 4-6 split. Teitler wasted no time and threw stikes on his first two balls of his rolloff and added a 9 count on ball number 3 closing out Kase.

Kase offered no excuses. He stated "I went past 3 spares tonight all the same way. Just a little wide". Teitler on the other hand took it all in stride. When asked what his thoughts were, Teitler responded in the same manner that he has for years for the people that know him. He smiled that big grin, shrugged his shoulders and laughed, "What? What do you want from me, huh? What? What?".

The smile and laugh was as big and hearty as it was two weeks ago. It just kind of rolls off of him. Contageous to say the least.

There were some fine efforts turned in by bowlers this past Friday night. Just to mention a few, Theresa Castellano, Centereach, Richard Wrage Jr, Selden, Eryn Cully, Patchogue and Ed O'Malley, Patchogue were all on the plus side scratch in the Adult Handicap Division. In addition, Patricia Buckley, East Patchogue was +105 Scratch over her entering average. Derek Vandervoort, Mastic Beach, Peter Smith, Brentwood and Matt Traina, Farmingdale all had "+" signs for the night as well in the Junior Scratch Division. Nick Sullivan, Babylon took home high game honors in the Junior Handicap Divison with a 258. While Peter Digiuseppe III, Lindenhurst added a 226.
