The footsteps Earl Anthony is hearing are those of Brian Voss. Voss, Atlanta, extended his streak of winning at least one title per year to 12 by winning the PBA Tour's Brunswick Johnny Petraglia Open at Brunswick Caroller Lanes.

Voss defeated tournament leader Tim Criss, 238-230, in a title match that was decided in the 10th frame. The win was the first of the year for the PBA Hall of Famer, the 19th of his career and earned him $28,000.

"This is an extremely big win for me," said Voss. "I went four weeks without even cashing before this event. I went home and practiced more in three days than 1 have in years and it paid off. Of course, having the streak continue is important as well."

Voss' 12 consecutive years with at least one title ties Don Johnson (1966-77) for second all-time in that category. Anthony holds the record at 14 years in a row (1970-83).

The victory didn't come easily for Voss. He struck on seven of his last eight shots in the opening match to fend off Dave Wodka and Amleto Monacelli. Wodka also struck on seven of his last eight shots, but an open frame following a failed conversion of the 2-10 split in the fourth frame proved costly and he ended with a 225 score to Voss' 236. Monacelli suffered through three open frames and finished with 172. Wodka, South Setauket, N.Y., collected $6,000 for fourth and Monacelli, Venezuela, benefited from a PBA rule which does not allow the No. 2 seed to finish lower than third despite his score in the first match and received the third-place check for $8,000.

Criss, Bel Air, Md., had control of the title match through six frames. He struck on each of his first six shots while Voss started with a spare, four strikes and then an open frame in the sixth when he failed to convert the 3-4-6-7 split. But Criss opened the door offer he failed to convert the 2-4-8-10 split in frame seven. Voss jumped at the opportunity, converting a spare in frame seven and then striking on his final five shots. In striking out in the 10th, Voss actually violated the PBA's 25-second shot clock rule twice.

After converting spares in the eighth and ninth frames, Criss needed a double and eight pins in his 10th frame for the win. He got the first strike, but went high on his second shot and only got four pins, leaving the 3-4-6-7-9-10 split.
