Ador Dimaano and Percy Omechalang finished in the upper half of the Doubles competition in the 22nd Asian Inter City Tenpin Bowling Championships late Tuesday night at the Macau Bowling Center.
Dimaano and Omechalang came in 18th place, 397 pins short of eventual gold medal winners Kim Young Pyo and Lee Tae Ju of Deagu, with their combined 2,320 pinfalls.
Omechalang led the way with his 1,194 built around a six-game roll-off of 192, 187, 181, 197, 221, and 216 that allowed him to average a shade under 200 at 199.
Dimaano, for his part, chipped in with his 1,126 pinfalls—good for a 187.67 average—after recording rolls of 159, 194, 212, 193, 177, and 191.
Team Saipan’s other pair—Ross Zapanta and Jorge Soledad—wound up in 38th place after combining for 2,131 pinfalls.
Kim and Lee helped Daegu nail its first gold medal of the 22nd Asian Interncity Tenpin Bowling Championship after amassing a total of 2,717 pinfalls in the Men’s Doubles event.
Men’s Doubles Squad B topnotchers Brian Manibusan and John Ada of Tamuning nipped Hong Kong’s Michael Tsang and Ken Lin, who were second to Daegu in the Men’s Doubles Squad A, to win the silver.
The Guam keglers had knocked down a total of 2,660 to better the score set by Tsang and Lin in the earlier squad. The Hong Kong duo settled for the bronze medal with a total of 2,627.
