Finishing second to Eugene McCune of Munster, Ind., after Tuesday’s nine-game first round on the Cheetah condition, Loschetter put together a nine-game block of 1,997 Wednesday on the Viper condition for an overall 18-game pinfall of 4,141, to move ahead of McCune by 29 pins.
The Etonic Marathon Open features the Tour’s six lane conditioning patterns and a format that includes 54 games, total pinfall with no match play. The 161-player field has now been cut to the top 53 who will bowl nine games each on the Scorpion and Chameleon oil patterns on Thursday. On Friday the players will bowl nine games each on the Earl Anthony and Shark lane patterns.
“I bowl pretty well on the Viper condition but I feel like I’m one of the stronger versatile players out here,” said Loschetter, who finished second in the Pepsi Viper Championship last October to winner Brad Angelo of Lockport, N.Y. “I think I have all the tools to do well on any pattern I just haven’t put it all together this year yet.”
The Viper condition measures 38 feet in lane oil distance, and generally, allows bowlers a wider range of strategies to play the lane which seems to match up with Loschetter’s game.
“I’m pretty comfortable playing anywhere on the lane but I would say my biggest test yet will be bowling on the Shark and Earl Anthony conditions which are probably the toughest for me,” Loschetter added.
Looking for his first Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour win, the 28-year-old Loschetter has finished second four times in his career including his runner-up finish to Angelo. Angelo is currently 30th after Wednesday’s second round.
With 45 career PBA Tour victories, all-time win leader Walter Ray Williams Jr. of Ocala, Fla., moved from 21st after Tuesday’s round to third with a 4,047 18-game pinfall.
“I found a good reaction for eight of the nine games today,” Williams said. “I bowled well yesterday too but didn’t seem to get the same reaction. I just have to make sure I don’t get the ball too far right on any of these conditions because the ball just won’t come back.”
After Friday’s competition, the top five players will compete in the ESPN-televised stepladder finals on Sunday March 1 at 12:30 p.m. Eastern. The finalists will bowl on the lane condition selected by the No. 1 qualifier.
