Carmen Salvino celebrated his election to the Bowling Hall of Fame by defeating Mike Berlin, 192-170, in the championship game of the Miller High Life Classic at Brunswick Wonderbowl Anaheim. Salvino, a PBA Hall of Famer, defeated Ernie Schlegel and Marshall Holman before taking on the top-seeded Berlin for the title and the S 15,000 top prize. It was Salvino's 17th PBA victory. Salvino, known on tour as "Spook," was able to handle the lanes which were made tricky by the television lights, avoiding splits and costly misses. "I had to bowl defensively to win it," Salvino declared. "Against Holman, nobody was throwing any strikes, and I figured if the same thing happened to Berlin, I could win it by just staying out of trouble and not going for the strikes," he added.
