Well, we waited through 14 squads for a perfect game and it came from the slender hands of Ghislaine van der Tol, 23, from
Utrecht in the Netherlands with the last ball of the last game, clean as a whistle and slap in the pocket for the talented left-hander.
Scores rocketed in this final qualifying squad with 250-plus games galore, but theere was no change in the lane condition. However, the center is much cooler after a blistering hot day and that could have been a contributing factor.
Now the cut to 44th place and a ticket into tomorrow's finals is 1299, a little short of the projected 1320. That position is held by Denmark's Mik Stampe.
Four places in the final are still available from the Desperado squad and that will roll shortly.
