COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Tom Baker got a second chance in Saturday’s $150,000 Budweiser Classic bowling tournament, and he took advantage of it for his first victory in three years.
Baker, of Buffalo, N.Y., put himself in a hole midway through the title match against Storm DeVincent of Tamarac, Fla., leaving splits in the third, fourth and sixth frames to give DeVincent momentum.
However, DeVincent opened in the fifth frame, letting Baker back in the match. “After I left that third split, 1 thought I was done,” said Baker, who won his sixth Professional Bowlers Association event.
