Jarrod McComas started it.

Teammate and anchorman Jason Dixon finished it.

When the evening's competition was over, Jon Kunde managed to outdistance both of his teammates.

And together with Bob Burns in the leadoff position, Team No. 6 established records in the Pin Chasers Midtown Pepsi 8/40 League, but fell 20 pins short of the city and state three-game record for a four-man team.

The Burns-Kunde-McComas-Dixon quartet totaled 3,019, an average of 251 per man, with games of 1,027, 1,008 and 984.

Individually, Kunde led all shooters with 255-268-277 - 800. McComas, who holds the Tampa record for a three-game series with 878 bowled several years ago when Pin Chasers Midtown was known as Regal Lanes, followed with 300-259-236 - 785 while Dixon rolled 214-269-299 - 782 and Burns 258-212-182 - 652.

Another Tampa team holds the state four-man record. The team of Pat Trudeau (725), John Pendino (820), Gregg Meany (780) and Danny Cobb (714) rolled 3,039 at Brandon Crossroads Bowl on Oct. 3, 1992.

The national record is 3,174, set Oct. 10, 1991, at Fireside Lanes, Sacramento, Calif.

PIN POINTS: Kaye Schuman, 83 years old and averaging 127, picked up the 8-9-10 split last week at Pinarama Lanes. She barely scooted the 10 pin over, with the ball clipping the nine pin to topple left and take out the eight pin. ... USBC has implemented a new specification for the viscosity of lane conditioners. It requires that lane conditioners used during USBC competition read between 12 and 81 centipoises (the standard unit of measurement for fluids) at 70 degrees Fahrenheit. It gives USBC specific parameters for future testing and research.
