 we're getting two frames. So Anthony Lavery's spar here is going to bowl lead off, which means he'll bowl the first and sixth frames for LAX. And we will begin with him on the left lane. You know, the only thing I could think of when you were going through the format was holy roll off. Alex, real intense tonight. Very focused. Stiff nine. You win the second game. You win 2-0. You won a round. You got to win two rounds. And it gets more complicated after that. And Butch Riff will get a tap. The no tap tournament ended. He's playing pretty deep, too. He's almost in the third arrow. Watch this bid action here. Off the sidewall, little nosedive into the ankle of the three pin. Kind of shape will he give us tonight. Dave, take a look at this motion here. Now, no one has thrown more strikes than West Mellon. You notice he's in those spares. A couple of those open frames were little touch-ups in the 10th frames when things were decided. So he, too, has been utterly brilliant. That's his 10th strike. West Mellon. Remember last time up for Kyle, he left that only nine pin, not this time. This time, it's personal. That ball went through the pins and created a black hole in the pit. I may have looked at this guy right here, Orbel Monti. But it would have all been predicated on how practice went. We talked him up in the beginning of the show. We had that highlight package, and now it's back-to-back ring 10s for Stu. Well, here's the guy to set up the 10th frame for your team. And I mean, it's like, what do you give the ball to with two minutes to go in the game? Well, you could give it to the founder of LAX, Chris Paul. That wouldn't be a terrible decision. However, in this case, I think Belmo, as far as bowling, goes. Yeah. Take a look at his last shot there through the right of your screen. That was an absolute mirror image of the first shot thrown. He missed inside down lane at 45 feet. Now, Chris Paul, the founder of LAX, scores using avid bowler, and probably watching from wherever he may be at the moment. Late kick, and now, no matter what LAX does in the 10th frame, they cannot shut out the lumberjacks. Max score, 238 for Dick Allen in his squad, 249 for Portland. That's about a half a dozen ringers. Plus, I think we had a ringing seven. Did it be nine? Let's see. One, two, three, four, five, 10 pins, a seven pin, and a nine pin. Every ball has been in the pocket this game, except for the trip three from Jacob Butcher. Right. Dick Allen missed a 10 pin. He did this last night in the 10th frame, and it didn't cost LAX. They ended up winning the game. Now, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Mitch Hoope hits the pocket on this shot, because he knows exactly the move to make off of what Kyle Troupe did. OK, and I'm wrong. Yeah, he was a little light, and for the third time in this competition, we have seen that leave. Chris Barnes left it in a big situation when he needed a strike to win. Tommy Jones left that last night in the roll off, but now Mitch leaves it here. Missed it. Not even close. I'm going to go with youth in this battle. Need a strike badly. Thanks, Tim. Double. It just looks like that ball should have a turn signal on it, right? Back we go to the top of the order at Kyle Troupe in game two with Portland up 1-0. Big shot here. Oh, this is double picker. Oh, it's an autographed pick. That's awesome. Anthony Lavery Spar, not a candidate, but he's cool with it. He's never going to get there. Twin brother Sean also bulls on the PBA tour. That's a huge mistake. And now Prather, ball change for him. Oh, is he overdue for something other than a ringing 10? Good time to strike right here. Successful. Remember, they open the first and second frames, Dave. 224 for Portland. Jason, one of three guys you'd have to consider for that Chris Schenkel to work for PBA Player of the Year. That ball should come with a tour guide. He turned his back on it about five feet before the ball hit the pocket. Portland wins this. They will be halfway to the title. Collision, and then down goes Frazier. I've never known you to be wrong. I think Tim Mack is counseling him on another ball change by right here, Stu. Stu catches a hit. He just got a little too steep in the front of the lane. This one, and the Fox sports happens. We watch the angle. And the strike. See how much straighter that is? Chris can play anywhere he wants. He can do anything to a bowling ball. And I'd rather see him do that. Something in his mind is telling him that's not the way to play it for him. They can still win the second game, win the round, and then we're going to have two roll-offs here, is what I'm trying to tell you. And Houpe. Oh, no. He's just given them a big aid. Counseling him to go for the count. So he'll try to take out the two-eight he did. All right, what does Belmo have to do here? Well, Belmo has to strike out to force Westmallott to get the first strike and count in the 10th frame. There's stuff flying everywhere in the pit. And Mark will do. Well, Westmallott's been in this position a bunch of times. He needed Mark at eight to knock down game one and put Portland on the precipice of their first. Elias Cup. Now, Mitch Houpe's last go-round on the right lane didn't go well. He left the two-eight-ten. That's how you come back. And that's how you stack two strikes together. Sivinelli gets them off to the good start. Bialtrup now holding in the fourth position for the first time in this Elias Cup 2019 version. Well, they got this lane figured out. The Lumberjacks having the first four strikes in this match when they've needed him. The big nasty has been there. Clothes this thing out in style. Yeah. So Ryan Sivinelli was moved by Tim Mack to the lead-off spot for this game on the left lane. Ryan's had a spectacular evening tonight. Pin solid throughout. Grit is over. Must strike situation here for Anthony Lavery-Spar. That's put 15-10 pins now for LAX just tonight. It's gross. It's not official, Randy, but if I had a vote that guy has to be the MVP. Omtown team has done it. The first title for the Portland Lumberjacks. They began their life as the Pittsburgh franchise. And then the love in Portland was so strong that the team was renamed the Portland Lumberjacks and they finally have the title. How good was he? Utterly magnificent. I mean, I've got to believe he's gonna be MVP. He's my MVP vote. Yeah. Did everything he had to do and just was so good in the tent. He was the perfect anchor man. Yeah. I mean, we saw others do very well. Tommy Jones is a ballast, but this guy was. It wasn't an interesting that night won. He anchors game one and then they go over to the left lane. And they move him out of anchor position. Yeah, they move Ryan Siminelli in. For one game. For one game. And that was all she wrote. Well, Jason Belmonte couldn't even make everything go down for him today. That was just brutal. More 10 pins left. I mean, that's the story for LAX. Watching the top player in the world have to shoot a 10 pin. Bims and Belmonte and the rest of their team, they cut zero breaks tonight. It was all Portland, all night long. What a performance. Timmy, you brought it home. Just in a surreal moment that we're early Mitchell. Face side ball, but it's been so fantastic. We finally able to bring on the championship to Portland that they so much desire. I can't thank some. So many people to thank. Go bowling. Fox Sports, you guys are awesome. They're on an amazing show tonight. So go get it done. When the man says get something done, you've got to get it. As a support, it is all the way. Not like Portland needs a reason to have a party. They really don't. Especially not this building. But yeah, they're going to have a party tonight.
