Aug. 16—Gleason Garske walked into Lilac Lanes, put on his bowling shoes and threw a couple warmups.
Moments later, Garske had thrown eight strikes in a row, threatening another perfect 300 game.
But he left the 7 pin standing on his ninth toss, ultimately settling for a 278. His 22nd 300 will have to wait.
The 12-year-old Garske is on an upward trajectory in the sport, and he's coming off his biggest feat to date. He won the U12 Junior Gold national championship in mid-July in Minneapolis.
Garske dominated the field at the national tournament, earning the top seed by advancing to the stepladder finals undefeated. He remained unbeaten going into the final match, meaning he had to be beaten twice to be surpassed.
