The Chicago and Springfield bowlers agreed this would be a

jumped out to an early lead but the Springfield team came from
behind to match their play. The outcome was a tie. The Chicago

strong the third game to take the match and was able to win the

March 9, 2003 Bowl Off 2003
Once again the Hartwig Transit sponsored teams from Chicago and
Springfield met in Pontiac, IL for the annual Bowl Off. This year brought a
new team from Chicago which included Wayne and Kevin Wickwire.
Beef's Boozers as they are known were looking forward to the challenge.
Andy Richard, team captain for the Springfield team felt very confident of
victory as he spoke out during our breakfast get together at Busters. As the
friendly match began, Chicago came out firing and posted some big
numbers defeating Springfield handily. The second match was closer, but
Chicago still took the game. Springfield did come back the last game and
took the final match but was unable to take the total. So this year Chicago
has the bragging rights (and I am sure Andy is hearing all about it) All in all
we had a fantastic time and look forward to doing it again.
