rolled the 300 in 2015. He became
the youngest bowler to have a 300 in
league history.
Radner had been bowling well
before his big night, thro
wing 715 and
740 series in his previous two league
nights. So, his 858 series wasn’
t a com-
plete surprise.
“Every time I bowl, I go in there
thinking I’
m going to bowl well,
” he
said.
After throwing two different bowl-
ing balls in practice, Radner decided
to use a Storm Intense Fire he had
purchased recently. That was the ball
he used on all 33 strikes.
His 858 series increased his league
average from 222 to 225 and that’
s
where he ended the season. It’
s the
highest average in league history, beat-
ing his former record of 223 set last
season.
“I struggled at the start of the league
season this year, like a lot of other
guys in the league because we hadn’
t
bowled much at 300 Bowl,
” Radner
said. “I hadn’
t competed there until
the end of last season. About the
fourth or fifth week of this season, it
seemed like we all turned the corner.
”
Brotherhood-Eddie Jacobson had
bowled since 1986 at Country Lanes
in Farmington Hills before switching
to 300 Bowl at the end of last season
after Country Lanes closed temporari-
ly because of the death of its owner.
Radner is the third generation in
his family to bowl in the league, fol-
lowing his grandfather Eddie Radner
and father David Radner. They were
league bowlers from the early 1970’
s to
2010 and 1982-2010, respectively.
This was Aaron Radner’
s second
full season in the league after bowling
as a substitute while he was a student
at MSU.
Believe it or not, Aaron Radner’
s
858 isn’
t the highest series in 300 Bowl
history.
“I was told it ties for third place,
” he
said.
So there is another mountain to
climb. ■
