Bowling fans will be treated to three and half hours of televised bowling Sunday when seven matches
of the GEICO Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) Team Shootout Hosted by Six Flags will
be aired on ESPN beginning at 1 p.m. Eastern.
Team GEICO, with Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour stars Chris Barnes, Patrick Allen, Mike Wolfe, Mika
Koivuniemi, reigning Player of the Year Wes Malott and Brad Angelo, has taken a 2-1 lead after four
round-robin matches in the made-for-TV team tournament.
Conducted outdoors on specially-constructed lanes at New Jersey’s Six Flags Great Adventure
theme park, three of the best teams ever assembled compete in a Baker Scoring System format which
requires five members of the team to roll two frames in one game combining for one score.

Michael Fagan and Bill O’Neill) with a 1-1 record and Team Lumber Liquidators (Norm Duke, Mike
Scroggins, Pete Weber, Steve Jaros, Parker Bohn III and Walter Ray Williams Jr.) at 1-2.
All three teams bowl in round-robin match play on a variety of lane conditioning patterns leading up
to a championship round. The top two teams based on match play record will advance to a
championship contest that includes singles, doubles and Baker-style team matches. The championship
round will air on ESPN on Sunday, July 12.
