Lions fall to Kennedy in OT

Linn-Mar and Kennedy worked into overtime before the Lions finally fell to the Cougars Friday afternoon in a Mississippi Valley Conference girls bowling meet at Cedar Rapids Bowling Center.

The score was tied, 2625-2625, at the end of regulation, so an extra Baker round game was rolled. Each of the five bowlers on each team rolled a pair of frames in alternate fashion.  The meet was still up for grabs after Kennedy's Paige Ermer left a 7-10 split in her final frame. Linn-Mar's Stacey Schwarzenstein needed two strikes, plus pins on a third ball, to give the Lions the victory. She knocked down all but the 10 pin and Kennedy escaped with a 15-pin victory.
