PATRICK ALLEN WINS PBA NATIONAL BOWLING STADIUM CHAMPIONSHIP

Gainesville, FL - [January 13, 2009], Making his 3rd consecutive Lumber Liquidators PBA tour televised finals on ESPN, Patrick Allen captured the National Bowling Stadium Championship in Reno, Nevada by defeating all time PBA title holder Walter Ray Williams 225-223 when Williams left a pocket 8-10 split on his second shot in the 10th frame of the title match. “After Walter Ray labeled the first one in the tenth, I was just praying for a rolloff,” Allen said. “He is the all-time titles leader because he performs when he needs to. The second shot looked good off his hand. Having that happen to win is something you can’t even imagine.” Allen, who picked up his 11th career title and first of the 2008-09 season earned $25,000 and locked up an exemption for the 2009-10 season. Williams won $13,000 for second place. This marks the 4th time this season that a Dynasty player had won a title on the PBA tour.
