Anne Marie Rubilotta, 46, did not knowthat the 300 game she was in processof bowling at Rab’s Country Lanes,would become an historical moment inStaten Island womens bowling. Withinmoments of the final delivery resultingin a 300 game, it was officially notedthat her perfect game was the first inthe 63-year history of the Staten IslandWomen’s Championship Tournament.The previous high individual game wasa 299 bowled by Melody Alvarez in the2003 Championships. “I didn’t know signifigance at the time -it was just so surreal - people I didn’tknow were congratulating me,” said

Rubilotta. “The atmosphere was veryeuphoric.” This is the second 300 game for herin a short period of time. On Decem-ber 20, only two days before her birth-day, she bowled her first career 300game at Showplace Bowling Center. “In the ninth frame I began thinkingthat wow, this could happen again,”said Rubilotta. Adding a measure of irony to the day,rested in the fact that earlier in the morn-ing she spoke to her mother(Josaphine) by phone. Her mother said

NORTH BRUNSWICK, N.J. (Feb.27, 2011) – Norm Duke ofClermont, Fla., won his 34th Pro-fessional Bowlers Tour title andseventh career major in the 68thLumber Liquidators U.S. Open atBrunswick Zone-Carolier Sundaywith a stunning 225-216 victoryover Mika Koivuniemi of Hartland,Mich., when Koivuniemi missed a10 pin spare in the 10th frame. Duke, the tournament’s top quali-fier, closed his game with four con-secutive strikes, to forceKoivuniemi to mark in the 10th, butthe Finnish native, one of the bestspare-shooters in professionalbowling, uncharacteristically missed thesingle-pin spare attempt. With his victory, Duke earned $80,000and moved into a tie for fourth place onthe Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour’s listof all-time title-winners with fellow PBA

to her that, “I have a feeling that you are going tobowl a 300 today.” Rubilotta admitted to being a little more nervous dur-ing her second shot at a 300 game, in part becauseher dad and son were there to watch. Evidently the nervousness didn’t impact her abilityto execute good shots, decribing all 12 hits as being‘pure shots’. She finished the day with 230 and 161for a 691 series. After all of the excitement subsided, she phonedher mother to tell her of the 300 game. Her motherresponded, ‘you’re pulling my leg.” Rubilotta comes from a bowling family. She creditsher mother for introducing her to the sport having trav-eled to the bowling alley when her mom bowled inleague. Her brother Angelo has bowled a 300 gameand her mother maintains a respectable 188 averageat the age of 70. It wasn’t until the age of 28 that she began to takethe sport more seriously. She has since ascendedto a 210 average and a career high series in the high700’s. Although posessing the competitive skills, sheenters few tournaments. “I think this is only the fourth tournament I’ve en-tered,” said Rubilotta. “In fact my friends talked meinto it. We finished in second place last year (4-member team) and the ladies thought we should tryit again. I’m not sure where we stand in the tourna-ment, but I’m glad to have bowled. There probablycouldn’t have been a better time to shoot a perfectgame.”

ace pitcher on the mound and he throws four straightballs, and you lose.” Duke knew exactly how Koivuniemi felt on his spareattempt because in 2008, when Duke won his firstU.S. Open title to complete the PBA Triple Crownand Grand Slam, he had to convert the 2-4-5-8 “bucket”in the 10th frame to win. “I couldn’t feel my legs on the approach on that shot,”Duke said. “That’s what happens under pressure.That’s why guys miss three-foot putts. And it’s fa-tigue. I’m exhausted. If I had to make a 10 pin to win,it would be suspect at best. “It’s not like I didn’t deserve to win,” Duke added. “Iwas the top qualifier. I did throw four strikes in a row,after leaving a solid 8 pin in the eighth frame. I didwhat I needed to do” Koivuniemi, the No. 3 qualifier for the U.S. Open step-ladder finals, eliminated Ryan Shafer of Horseheads,N.Y., 236-222, in Sunday’s first match. The key shotin that match was a pocket 7-10 split by Shafer in the

eighth frame, following a double that ended his hopesfor his first major title in a record 12 appearances inmajor championship television finals. Koivuniemi, the only player in PBA history to reachthe television finals in all four PBA major champion-ships in a single year, eliminated Tommy Jones ofSimpsonville, S.C., in the semifinal match, 241-158.Jones left splits and failed to convert in the fourth,sixth and eighth frames. “Duke is one of the greatest players ever. I knew itwas going to be a tough match,” Koivuniemi said. “Itook the biggest shot of my life in the 10th frame andleft the 10 pin, but unfortunately I didn’t make myspare. It was my nerves, I guess. I was thinking aboutthe wrong things. This is the first time in my life I’velost a title like that.” “I sat there stunned, shocked,” Duke said. “I can’tremember ever winning a PBA title sitting on the bench.I knew I had just won the U.S. Open, but at that mo-ment, my only thought was Mika had lost. I was just

like a fan watching in the living room. How could younot feel badly for him? “Mika will be fine, he’ll bounce back. He’s going tobe our Player of the Year,” Duke said. “But he’ll neverforget that one.” Over the past five years, PBA Tour players have a95.9% success rate in converting the 10 pin on 710attempts on national television.

The New York Bowler MARCH 2011 PAGE 4

Imagine, if you can, never having bowled a 300 gameand then find yourself bowling back-to-back 300’sand an 800 series too boot. Meet Jimmy Citarellawho did exactly that in the L.I. Bakers League atWhitestone Lanes. Citarella,57, a retired postal worker, has bowledsince the age of 15, recalling that he often wentbowling with his dad. During the ensuing years, he

came to enjoy bowling andnever viewed himself as abig shooter with career highgame of 279 and only two700 series to his credit. That all changed for thesouthpaw bowler on Febru-ary 1, when he shoed up forthe Tuesday nightL.I.Bakers League. “I couldn’t believe whatwas happening tome,”remarked Citarella. “Itseems that I could seldom

get more than six or seven consecutive strikes andthen to get 24-in-a-row.” Wow! In the first perfecto he received a lucky break in theeighth frame. All other shots were solid hits and af-ter a bit of nervousness in the 10th frame he just ‘letthe ball go’ on the final two shots. Three-hundred game number two presented a littledrama for Citarella. He was bowling well, but histeam was lagging in pin count. He expressed moreconcern about his team winning, than his bowlinganother 300 game. As it turned out, Citarella got his300 and his team tied with the efforts of their anchorbowler getting the necessry pins in the 10th frame. Adding to the drama of his second 300 game wasthe fact that everyone in the center (including thesnack bar) had stopped to watch him. “I got a huge break in the eighth frame when the 7-10 were the last pins to fall,” said Citarella. “I got thefirst stike in the tenth and said to my self, this couldbe something.” As people gathered around, comments were madeas to whether he could do it again, something thatsurely would bring considerable media attention. Thatquestion was answered in the first frame of gamethree when he left a seven pin count. Now, however, there was the most coveted of bowl-ing accomplishments lurking before him, an 800 se-ries. “I thought to myself, oh my, how disappointing itwould be to bowl two 300 games and not make an800 series,” said Citarella. Fortunately, he plodded along with a clean game of223 and was applauded for his 823 series. It is believed that the center record series is in the840’s. Admitting that it would be nice to have therecord, he had exceeded all expectations he had forhimself. In the opinion of this writer, Jimmy Citarella is adown to earth and unassuming man. It was his finalcomment that really struck me. “I am just a league bowler,” said Citarella. His comment reminded me of a quote attributed toElvis Presley. Declining to be drawn into politicaland social controversy of the day, Elvis simply stated,“I’m just an entertainer.” (*)

Citarella, Bartucci create buzz at Whitestone LanesWhitestone Lanes

Both Citarella and Presley understated their uniquerelevance.(*) Exerpted from the book Meet Elvis Presley byF. Louis Friedman

Danny Bartucci

It was a long wait, more than 48-years of bowling forthe ultimate bowling ac-complishment, an 800series, to come toDanny Bartucci.Bartucci,70, linkedlines of 259-278-280 onhis way to an 817 se-ries in the North ShoreCatholic League atWhitestone Lanes. His previous careerhigh series was a 795and Bartucci amusinglyrecounted why he didn’tclimb the 800 plateausooner. “Over the years I got too many wraps,” remarkedBartucci. This day was different, however. Sitting on a twogame total of 537, he had the ‘feeling’ that he wasgoing to go the distance this time. “In game three I opened with a strike, then a spareand then finished with strikes for a 280 game,” saidBartucci. “I knew after the fifth frame that I was linedup and all that I needed was to stay relaxed and notget too excited.” Bartucci, retired from Conn Edison has found thatbowling the 800 series opened the door to more greatscores. “I can’t believe it, since the 800 series I have beenbowling lights out,” he quipped. Bartucci began bowling at Linden Lanes in 1962.Since then, bowling has afforded him many expeiencesincluding a time that he out scored Dick Ritger in apro-am event at Madison Square Gardens and meet-ing his bowling idol Carmen Salvino. In addition to his league bowling he competes in theGrand Masters Bowling Club, holding out hope thathe’ll become a club champion. He also enjoys teach-ing others how to improve their bowling skills andserves as the bowling coach for the all girls school St.Agnes High School in College Point.
