Lamar Richardson rewrote the record books at Warwick Lanes on Tuesday night, rolling a sensational perfect game to headline Week 28 of the Continental Bowling League season.
In a display of unerring precision, Richardson claimed his 15th career 300 game, a feat that drew a standing ovation from the gathered spectators. The masterpiece was the centerpiece of a formidable 791 series, with Richardson backing up his perfect frame with high-scoring rounds of 212 and 277 to cement his status as one of the league’s premier marksmen.
His individual brilliance mirrored a night of high-stakes action across the lanes, where the league leaders, Nifty Rollers, delivered a statement of intent. Facing seventh-placed The Invaders, the table-toppers were in clinical form, securing a dominant 26-1 victory to extend their advantage at the summit.
The battle for the chasing spots proved far more attritional. Second-placed Under Dawgs maintained their pursuit with a hard-fought 17-10 win over the fourth-placed Astronauts, while third-placed Odd Balls matched that scoreline in their victory over eighth-placed New Hope.
Further down the standings, the fifth-placed Cubs kept their momentum alive with a 17-10 win against ninth-placed Sunset, while sixth-placed Spicenix were forced to watch from the sidelines during their scheduled bye week.
With only a handful of weeks remaining in the 2025/26 campaign, Richardson’s moment of magic has injected fresh energy into a title race that looks increasingly like a march toward glory for the Nifty Rollers. However, as the Under Dawgs and Odd Balls continue to rack up wins, the pressure remains at an all-time high heading into the final stretch.
