Ralph Semb

 

 

In 1984, Ralph Semb, then 38, bowled a phenomenal single game of 245. Commencing with seven consecutive strikes and finishing with three spares. Semb's score seemed destined for the record books.

Unfortunately, because the site of the 245, Community Lanes in Westfield, Massachusetts, was not at the time a dues paying MBA member, the sanctioning of the string as an official has been in abeyance until now.

At the time of the event, it was determined that the lanes met proper specifications to allow for the score's sanctioning; nonetheless, bureaucracy prevailed for 15 years and the score was not officially recognized until the MBA and ICBA elected to so recognize it in 1999.

Semb hit the score in the Western New England Pro Tour.
