Rookie Schaub Leading Pepsi Red White and Blue Open

Rookie Cassidy Schaub of Polk, Ohio, slowed his record scoring pace, but retained his lead as the
top 24 qualifiers in the Pepsi Red, White and Blue Open presented by the United States Bowling
Congress (USBC) headed into match play Thursday night at Northrock Lanes.

Schaub finished the qualifying portion of the Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour event with a 24-game
total of 5,991 pins – shy of the PBA 24-game record of 6,109 by Pete Weber in Las Vegas in
1996– but held onto a 25-pin lead over Patrick Allen of Wesley Chapel, FL, after eight games
Thursday morning on the USBC’s Blue lane conditioning pattern.

Mike Scroggins of Amarillo, Texas, who momentarily took the lead after rolling one of the event’s
19 perfect games, sat in third place with 5,957 pins. Billy Oatman of Chicago was fourth with a
5,952 total and Brad Angelo of Lockport, N.Y., was fifth at 5,926 pins.

The Pepsi Red, White and Blue Open presented by the USBC is being conducted on three
different lane conditioning patterns the USBC plans to introduce on an optional basis to American
league bowlers in cooperation with the Bowling Proprietors’ Association of America (BPAA) for
the 2010-11 winter league season. Similar in concept to golf’s tee system, the USBC Red condition
is the most forgiving pattern, the White condition is a medium challenge and the Blue pattern is
the most challenging.

The top 24 will bowl three eight-game rounds of round-robin match play on the Red, White and Blue
patterns, respectively, Thursday night and Friday. The top six will then advance to the championship
round which will be taped Sunday to air on ESPN on Sunday, Jan. 10.

It took a 236.38 average on the three lane conditioning patterns to advance to match play. With six
more 300 games on the Blue pattern Thursday morning, the tournament total is now 19. The PBA 
record for most 300s in a single tournament is 24, set in Peoria, Ill., in 1995.
