Eddie LakeEddie Lake Rolls His Fourth 300 This Season
A change from one ball to another proved to be the correct move for Monticello ace bowler Eddie Lake Monday night January 21 in the Monday Men's league at Kiamesha Lanes.
Eddie changed balls after the first game from his 16-year-old Hammer bowling ball to a Columbia Messenger and the change resulted in keeping the Eddie Lake "300 game Express" rolling as he smashed the maples for his fourth perfect game this 2007-08 season.
This 300 game was rolled in the second game of the night as Lake finished with 300,278 and a 752 series on lanes 3 and 4.
Ed noted this week that he has changed his style of bowling and he is very comfortable with the change. "I'll still go back to my old Hammer," he said.
Lake scored a 300 in the second game of a match November 9 in the Friday Night Mixed league making it his third perfect 300 game this 2007-08 season.
He finished the night with a 267, 300, 205 for a 762 series on lanes 5 & 6.
Eddie on October 1 and October 2 made bowling history in Sullivan County by bowling 300 games on consecutive nights.
Lake, 44, a right-handed bowler, on Monday October 1 in the Monday Men's league smashed the maples for a 223, 300, 277, 800 series. The next night, Tuesday October 2, while a substitute bowler in the Tuesday Mixed Firefighters league he scored a 207, 300, 235 for a 732 series.
Both leagues are at Kiamesha Lanes.
This 300 brings Lake's total career perfect games to seven. They have all previously been bowled with a 16-year-old Hammer bowling ball........so the old adage that if it still works don't fix it can certainly apply to Eddie Lake's bowling equipment.
Eddie has admitted in the past that his bowling ball is showing some wear and tear as there is a big chunk of the ball missing at the top of his finger holes. He has also said that there was no need to change to any of the new modern style balls when he had scoring success with this ball. Pro-Shop operator Mike Luongo noted this week that he had done some repair work to Lake's Hammer bowling ball.
Lake's third 300 game was bowled on December 8, 2006 in the Friday Mixed league at Kiamesha Lanes.
His two other 300 games were recorded in the 2003 summer league and in the Wednesday Men's league in 2004, both at Kiamesha Lanes.
His high 856 series was bowled in 2004 in the Wednesday Men's league at Kiamesha Lanes.
Eddie presently bowls in the Monday and Wednesday Men's leagues and the Friday Mixed Doubles league, all at Kiamesha Lanes.
In October following his two night back to back 300 games his average was 230 in the Tuesday Mixed Firefighters league and 242 in the Monday Men's league.
Ed's present average is 229 in the Monday league, 205 in the Wednesday Men's league and 223 in the Friday Mixed league.
Lake is single and is self-employed in the construction field. He comes from a well known Sullivan County bowling family with brother Ricky Lake and mother Joan Lake.
The Sullivan County 300 tally sheet so far this season included 300's bowled on September 26 by Donald Durland in the Wednesday Men's league, October 1 Eddie Lake in the Monday Men's league, October 2, Donald Durland Oct. 9 in the Tuesday Mixed Firefighters league, October 29 Michael Mason in the Monday Men's league, Eddie Lake November 9 in the Friday Mixed league, Nate Sanders November 26 in the Monday Men's league, all at Kiamesha Lanes, Kyle Stevens two back to back 300 games November 29 in the Thursday Men's Doubles league at Liberty Lanes and Lake's 300 game Monday making a total of 10 perfect games this season in Sullivan County.
