Randy Pedersen triumphed for the second time in three weeks on the PBA Tour, winning the $180,000 Budweiser Classic at Don Carter's Kendall Lanes, 225-209, against Dave Ferraro.

Pedersen earned $30,000 for his sixth PBA championship and became the first top-seeded player of '89 to remain atop the championship field following the four-game stepladder finals televised by ABC Sports. Pederson r o an Indication of running away with the title game early as he struck twice In his first three frames while Ferraro, Kingston, N.Y., opened with a spare, then faced three consecutive splits. Ferraro first converted the 3-10 "baby split" and the difficult 8-7-10, but his good fortune ended with the 4-8-7 leave in his fourth frame. Pederson added five more strikes the rest of the way and Ferraro matched that total but couldn't overcome his early deficit.

"Sorry, Gloria," Pedersen said immediately afterward to good friend Ferraro's wife on his way to the press room to field queries from local reporters. "If I had to pick someone to throw a strike for a million dollars on tour, I'd pick Dave," he said almost apologetically. "Fortunately for me, Dave was a little off today," he said.

Ferraro responded, "It was still a pretty good week. I went 11-13 (in match play) and still finished second. I never really got lined up on the right lane and never felt confident," he sad.
