Candlepin Bowling (From Sammy White's!) Tom Olszta vs. Fran Onorato

Air date: 10/29/1983. Special thanks again to Tom Olszta, his wife Karen, and also Aaron Fontaine for providing this show. :) Before Fran Onorato dethroned Tom Olszta from his historic winning streak on Channel 5 in 1994, the two met roughly 10 years beforehand in late October of 1983, though Fran was the defending champion on this program instead of Tom, having won the previous two weeks before Tom came onto the show as his eventual opponent. This telecast was also the first week that Tom Olszta was on after winning the $10,000 top prize a couple months earlier from that year's big Championship show. Some really good shot making from both bowlers throughout this match and decent scoring, but I'm still amazed at the first frame of what happened with Fran at 3:50! Hope you all enjoy, R.I.P. Don Gillis and Fran Onorato.
