A bowler from New Jersey struck out in record fashion earlier this month.
Tim Emery bowled a perfect game, not just any 300 game: it took the 23-year-old from Ewing 74.85 seconds to record 12 strikes.
The effort broke the mark of 86.9 seconds set by Ben Katola or Syracuse.
“You don’t have time to think,” Emery said. “You don’t have time to be nervous. You get the ball and throw it. It takes a little bit of luck, but on the other hand it takes skill.”
Emery bowled on 10 consecutive lanes and then ran back and bowled lanes one and two again, just like Katola had.
