When a person in business hears the word "strike," he cringes.

A "strike" in baseball isn't good either, if you are the batter. But a "strike" in bowling is a winner. And a business bowling tournament on Tuesday was a winner for scholarships.

ALL TEAM PHOTOS AT BOTTOM OF STORY -

The Ada Rotary Club sponsored the tourney at Norada Lanes to raise funds for two $1,000 scholarships that the civic club awards each year: bowling for a good cause, and fun, too.

The top three teams were: Associated Plastics, first; Kline's NAPA, second; Liberty National Bank, third. Kline's Napa was the defending champs.

There were more than 50 door prizes, including a plane ride piloted by Kevin Mierzejewski.

Many local civic club members and business persons enjoyed an evening out while raising money for scholarships.
