The boys’ team came together to get their heads straight and focus on the win. As the game began, junior Jason Duczeminskyj kept the team pumped. Jason, along with the rest of the team, was cheering and yelling despite the outcome of the first two games.
As the final game concludes, the Colonia Patriots come out with the victory defeating the Ramblers by 25 pins. The Patriots were trailing 2-1 and needed to have the higher total pin count in order to tie. Luckily the Patriots won the total pin count 2,438-2,421, only a difference of 17 pins.
