First Loss For Sterling Buffs Top Rangers In 10
Beaux French of Beaumont battered Sterling with nine hits and three runs in the 6th and 11th innings to win 4 4 1 over the previously undefeated Rangers. Sterling managed seven hits and one run in regulation, then collapsed in extras as French relief limited Sterling to two hits the rest of the way. Ranger slugger Robert Butler homered in the first to spark the Rangers but was quelled afterward as French hurlers Ferguson and Kerr and reliever Butler shut down the lineup. Sterling travels to Beaumont for a return with the French, seeking revenge.

Lane Track Patterns Alter Bowling Ball Paths
The article notes lane surfaces are not flat with depressions and grooves visible even on lacquered lanes. Bowlers using the right side roll the ball into these low mood pockets, affecting trajectory and results.
Bowling Track Angles and Pro Strategies
A 1970s bowling piece explains the track created by repeated ball use between the second and third arrows on the right. Pros often avoid this track on tour, preferring flat surfaces, while some players attack the pocket from extreme angles to keep the ball from the track. Jim Stefanich won the Firestone tournament with an average of 245 by finding a suitable angle.
