Josh Kleinsmith Rolls Perfect Game

JANUARY 28, 2012
BY ROD HONKE

 


Wednesday Night Mixed League

Last Wednesday night was a special night twenty two year old Josh Kleinsmith will never forget as he experienced the thrill of tossing his first perfect game. As I talked to him about his accomplishment, he said he started getting nervous after his seventh strike. The adrenalin started flowing resulting in sweaty hands, weaker legs and increased heartbeats on each ball delivered towards the pins in the last three frames. The last ball was the hardest to roll but the sweetest as Josh became the newest member to join the 300 club. Even though Josh was extremely nervous, he was able to deliver a solid pocket hit on his last ball. When all the pins fell over, Josh turned to the cheers and congratulatory handshakes from his fellow bowlers. The left handed bowler was participating in the Wednesday Night Mixed League at Marcin Bowl. He was bowling his last game of the night on lanes 27 & 28. The 179 average bowler was 121 pins over average and finished the night with a 689 triple. Josh picked up his bowling skills through the SMAA (Sarnia Minor Athletic Association) bowling program where he was a participant for about 10 years. He is one of many bowlers who have participated over the years in the SMAA, The Hiway Bowl Juniors Bowling program and the SOCOMO (Sombra, Corunna, Mooretown) bowling program.
