BOWLING : Romeo at Home With This Title
Robin Romeo, a 17-year veteran of the Ladies Pro Bowlers Tour who lives in Newhall, defeated Cheryl Daniels, 214-205, Wednesday to win the $60,000 California Classic at AMF Rocket Bowl in Chatsworth.
Romeo did not leave a pin standing against Daniels, of Detroit, the tournament’s top qualifier. Romeo built a 28-pin lead after hitting strikes in the third, fourth and fifth frames, then hung on for the victory.
Romeo, who won the 16th tournament of her career, said she will donate $5,000 of her $10,800 winner’s check to the families of victims in the Oklahoma City bombing.
