Defending Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) Shark Champion Rhino Page of Wesley Chapel
FL, and No. 1 Women’s Shark Championship qualifier Carolyn Dorin-Ballard of Keller, TX, led their 
respective fields into the final round of match play at Thunderbowl Lanes Saturday night.

In another Round of 8 filled with upsets, Shark Championships top qualifier Norm Duke of Clermont,
FL, was eliminated in a tense 4-3 best-of-seven-game match by injury-plagued Tim Mack of
Indianapolis, IN who earned his first exemption to bowl on the 2009-10 Lumber Liquidators PBA
Tour in June at age 38. Duke battled back from a 3-0 deficit to tie the match, but a 4-6-7-10 split in
the ninth frame of game seven killed his comeback bid.

All four of the Shark Championships top qualifiers who earned first-round match play byes lost in the
Round of 8.

Page defeated No. 4 qualifier Mika Koivuniemi, Hartland, MI, 4-2; Australian two-handed
sensation Jason Belmonte rallied to defeated No. 2 qualifier Michael Haugen Jr. of Carefree, AZ, 4-3,
and Michael Fagan of Patchogue, NY, ousted No. 3 qualifier Tommy Jones of Simpsonville, SC, 4-3.

In other matches, reigning PBA Player of the Year Wes Malott of Pflugerville, TX, knocked out Chris
Barnes of Double Oak, TX, 4-1; Jack Jurek of Lackawanna, NY, edged Mike Edwards of Tulsa, OK,
4-3; Jason Couch of Clermont, FL, eliminated Ryan Shafer of Horseheads, NY, 4-2, and Chris 
Loschetter of Avon, OH, defeated Lonnie Waliczek of Wichita, KS, 4-2.

The possibility of the first husband and wife tandem reaching the televised finals in the same event
ended early Saturday when Parker Bohn III of Jackson, NJ, lost a 4-3 match against Jack Jurek of
Lackawanna, NY, in the Round of 20 while wife Leslie Bohn was eliminated by Dorin-Ballard, 4-1, in
the women’s Round of 8.
