ROANOKER BOWLS 4TH 300 GAME

Troy Stultz had a premonition.

He said he knew heading into Sunday's Mix League at All-Star Lanes that he was going to roll a 300 game.

``I felt pretty good when I walked in. I told my friends that I was going to roll a 300,'' Stultz said. ``On the tenth strike, I pretty much knew I had it in the bag.''

The Roanoke bowler has rolled four perfect games, three last year - all within six weeks.

So, is this the beginning of another streak?

``I don't know about that,'' said Stultz. ``I sure hope so.''

Stultz, 20, said he averages 224 when bowling with Pat and Joe Sweeney in league play on Tuesday nights. On Sunday, he rolled 191 in the first game, 300 in the second and 254 in the third for a 754 series.

Stultz, who works at the Vinton Bowling Center and practices daily, has been bowling for seven years.
