Sean Rash Wins PBA Badger Open for 10th Career Title
By Jerry Schneider - PBA
ALLEN PARK, Mich. - With two major titles
and more than five Professional Bowlers
Association Tour titles to his credit, 2011-12
PBA Player of the Year Sean Rash established
his PBA Hall of Fame eligibility three years
ago. But theres something undeniably satisfying about reaching the 10-title milestone.
Rash, at age 34, became the 51st player to
enter the 10-win club by beating another 10time winner Wes Malott of Pflugerville, Texas,
259-195, in the championship match of the PBA
Badger Open at Thunderbowl Lanes. The finals
for the third tournament of the PBA Fall Swing
aired on the CBS Sports Network.

After finding the condition wasnt playing the way he had hoped,
Ciminelli moved inside and struck on five of his first six shots to build a
big enough lead to hold on. Raymond, a sixth-year PBA member who was
trying for his first PBA Tour title, was behind by 43 pins in the fifth frame,
but made a ball change and threw five strikes in a row to get back into the
match. Needing three strikes in the 10th to tie Ciminelli and force a rolloff, he left the 6-10 on his second try in the final frame.
Raymond advanced to the title match with a come-from-behind 207-193
win over Kristopher Prather of Milton, Fla., ending Prathers bid for his
first PBA Tour title. Prather led into the final frame as Raymond struggled
to find the pocket on the PBA strips lane condition, which he had selected for the match. But after rolling only one strike in the first seven frames,
Raymond put together a late string of four strikes to take the lead and he
won the match when Prather, needing a strike, left a solid 7 pin on his first
shot in the 10th frame.
Prather spoiled PBA Hall of Famer Walter Ray Williams Jr.s bid for his
first PBA Tour title since winning the 2010 USBC Masters, 224-191, in the
first match of the four-player stepladder finals. Prather, as the higher qualifier, selected the flat U.S. Open lane condition for the match and threw an
early turkey to take a 23-pin lead after five frames that Williams was unable
to overcome.
