 They should be Clark Kent. But the crowd wants Sharp, so we'll give them Sharp. 2-5, taking care of 79% of the time. And going a little straighter on that lane. Ooh, nine-pit. Can you remember the last time we saw Jason Del Monte involved in the game when his opening two frames are spares? No. Versus Anthony Simonson. Still without a strike. Well, the middle part of the lane has not developed yet, meaning there's not a lot of hold to help the ball stay online. I think the forepin is still bobbing back and forth. He didn't like his plants either. Yeah, he's a little out of sorts right now. This is not the Jason Del Monte you and I have seen this season. Already in the pit. Right lane, he's perfect on it. Farther left in slower speed. Maybe. It's close. Messenger. Is it a shark? Takes a seat. Kent. Yeah. Belmo. Welcome to the match. Now this ball goes out for Burger and Fries and then comes back with steak and baked potato. What a beautiful shot. And Bel Monte takes the lead for the first time. Timmy Mack has tore a rep. Oh, he got around it. He got around it. You can see it. When you get around it, the ball spins more. It doesn't grab the lane as soon or as quickly. So just when he takes the lead, he gives it right back unless he converts the 810. It feels like it came out a little faster than normal. Yeah. And when the ball is spinning, it's going to be faster because it's not adhering to the lane surface. That's a bizarre opening game. None of this we forecast. The crowd too, right? They had that extra hop in their step. They're all jacked up to see the number one player on the planet expecting to be blown away. Instead, they've seen spares and even an open frame. Two open frames now. He's good lane. Right. Sure did. Devoured that like a baby seal. Well, two in a row. He found it. He found it. And then he executed perfectly. His fifth strike. Here it is again. Serious trouble. The strike. Shark is lurking right now. Let's just get game one to Praetor. We're going to go to game two with Praetor up 1-0. What planet are we on right now? I'm sorry. Where am I? Are we in the right facility? Is that the real Jason Belmonte? When was the last time you saw Jason Belmonte shoot 1-60 on TV? Last time I saw him throw three open frames. Well, he's going to try another ball. And I don't know if he's going to go to something weaker or stronger. But I'll let you know. He's going to something stronger. Actually, the same ball Chris Praetor is using right now. And the crowd chance ball changed. Man, is he in trouble. Not done. Clearly done game one. But how many times at the PBA playoffs have we seen game one go south, game two goes north, and it goes to a roll off? Seemingly every week. Belmonte hit the pocket four times that game. Four. Four times. He's moved right. And he's matching strike from Praetor. But strikes here in game two. That was inside a fifth arrow. That's left of target and through the nose. Another open frame. Fourth that we've seen here tonight from him. I haven't seen the grimaces. It doesn't look like he's uncomfortable. With the pain of this thing, he's uncomfortable with the lanes and the ball. Perfect through three. The shark is circling right now. You can see it in his eyes, right? Yeah. No blinking, just bug-eyed open and staring at it. Down 20. I don't think he could miss the pocket again and win this game. Interesting. Go back to your old ball. Three, six, nine, ten. He's curbing it. And gets it. Great cover. Bad shot inside a target. Upset confirmed. Last from Belmo. Step aside and let the shark feast on this attention in this magical moment in his career. There's a bull's eye on Belmo's back. Week in and week out. And Praetor just took him down.
