ANDY MANK SHOOTS 900 SERIES AT BEL AIR LANES

Andy Mank of St. Louis has become the 16th bowler to shoot a 900 series, doing it Thursday night at Bel Air Bowl in Belleville, Il. in the Thursday Men's Handicap league.

Mank, who turned 22 this past Tuesday, did with with the Storm Reign of Fire on lanes 1 and 2.

The three 300 games in one night nearly doubled his career total of four that he had before his record event. Mank also has four sanctioned 800 series according to USBC records available on http://www.bowl.com/.

Mank now has the distinction of the highest series in Illinois bowling history. Mike Wilken, Jr. of Decatur, Il. just misssed perfection earlier this season  with an 899 series at Pla Mor Lanes.
