Al Zadroga Wins 1972 New Castle Fall Ringer Roundup

 

Al Zadroga, newly crowned Pennsylvania State Champion, staked his reputation in New Castle, Pa on Septmeber 24 and went away unscathed after defeating seven straight in a strong field in the annual Fall Ringer Roundup. He pitched the longest game in the tournament to defeat Clair Bruce 51-46. Al threw 111 ringers in 134 shoes for 82.1%. Buck Engle had the highest percentage game, a fantastic 95% against Jack Rainbow. The tournament was an outstanding success mainly as a result of the efforts of Opal and Ted Corbett who obtained the support of local businessmen in sponsoring the event. Over $600 in cash prizes and merchandise was awarded.
