New Hartford’s 6122 six game team total (943,1116,1045,1083,1037,898) easily outpaced the field (both Division 1 and 2) en route to both a Class B and Division 2 victory by a jaw dropping 597 pins.

While Division 2 lacked drama with New Hartford amassing a massive lead as the day progressed, that was not the case in Division 1. ESM, Central Square, and Baldwinsville (technically the defending champ from 2020) duked it out over 6 games. ESM jumped out to an early lead thanks to a 1052 opening game. However, both Central Square and Baldwinsville cut into the lead in game 2 and the three teams were never separated by more than 60 pins for the remainder of the day, with Central Square ultimately prevailing. Central Square posted a 6 game pinfall of 5714 (956, 968, 912, 1003, 942, 933) and was led by William Allen (1201, 200 avg) and Jayden Allen (1172, 195 avg). Baldwinsville finished in 2nd with 5668 (-46 pins) and ESM settled into 3rd with a 5666 (-48 pins).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
