The date was
April 30, 1983 at the Riviera Lanes, Akron, Ohio, site of the $200,000 Firestone
Tournament of Champions. Joe Berardi qualified 4th, and on his way to the
championship match to meet tournament leader, Henry Gonzalez, he defeated Bob
Handley, Mike Durbin (the defending champion), and Mark Roth. The Berardi/Gonzalez
match came down to the 10th frame. The scoring was lower than what was seen in
the previous 3 matches, perhaps the $40,000 first prize had something to do with
that. I hope you enjoy both part 1 and part 2 of the match.
