York, Pa. – Sam Maccarone of Glassboro, N.J. defeated Ross McDonald of Clarksville, Md., 243-166, to win the Professional Bowlers Association East Region Colony Park Lanes Senior Open at Colony Park Lanes East Sunday.
After David Kneas of Annapolis, Md., won the first two games of his Round of 16 best-of-five-game match against Maccarone, Maccarone was one frame from elimination when Kneas opened in the 10th frame of the third game. Maccarone won that match, 3-2, and went on to win his 14th career senior regional title. The three-time East Region Senior Player of the Year also earned $1,500 while McDonald earned $800 as the runner-up, his best career finish.
Maccarone defeated Steve Jones of Berlin, Md., 242-218, and McDonald defeated Tom Wunch of Easton, Md., 176-162, in the semifinal round.
Jones and Wunch each earned $650 as semifinal round losers.
