PBA News
Mike Scroggins probably had a feeling in the first frame last Sunday, when the normally automatic Walter Ray Williams Jr. missed a single-pin conversion, things would go his way.
That was certainly the case as Scroggins got all the breaks , coupled with some smart decisions, to defeat Williams, 214-194, in the 2008 Pepsi Championship at Thunder-Alley, Omaha, Neb., winning his fifth career Denny's Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) Tour title and his second of the season.
The Tour veteran has finally figured out how to win on TV. Prior to his win in January in the 2008 Motel 6 Dick Weber Open, Scroggins was just 9-22 in televised matches and was riding an eight-game losing streak. He broke the streak in a big way, winning four matches as the No. 5 seed to win his fourth title.
The Denny's PBA Tour this week heads to Indianapolis for the 2008 Denny's World Championship, the third of four Majors on the schedule. The live ESPN-televised finals take place Sunday, Feb. 24 at 12:30 p.m. ET. The winner will take home $50,000 and a two-season Denny's PBA Tour exemption.
