Floyd Puts On The Finishing Touches With Lone 600
Records Fall; Williams Ends At Historic 219 With Four 700 Series


South Glens Falls - Floyd Butler capped a stellar summer performance Thursday afternoon on the Kingpin's Alley lanes with a closing 674 series on games of 226, 234 and 214 in a Fire And Ice sweep of the Yanks. The championship already clinched, Floyd paced the dynamic Butler duo to a finishing 45-15 record, six points clear of the runner-up Long-Short pair of Vic Corbisiero and Jim McGrath. Long-Short swept the Tomahawks to secure second place. Don Williams managed 189, 179 and 224 for 592 in the Tommie defeat.

Bowling 15 weeks (45 games), Floyd shot a record 13 series above 600 with two in the 700s. He tallied 32 200+ games and averaged 215 - six pins above the previous league-best 209 set by Roy Brady in the inaugural 2009 season.
