Having written bowling articles for more than 35 years, I've reported on a number of bowlers who had the first 11 strikes, only to fall shy on the final ball. But when I checked with Charles Fletcher to see what pins he left on the final ball of his 298 game at AMF Bradenton Lanes a few days ago, his reply (via Facebook message) ...
Embarrassingly enough I left the 1-5.
I've heard of all sorts of final-ball leaves after 11 in a row -- including some as a result of two area bowlers (Kent Wagner and Mike Aleshire) attempting to roll every score from 290 to 300 -- but I've never heard of a 298 with a 1-5 leave.
