Water spill sabotage in the PBA, a breakdown
What Happened
Aaron "Dick" Allen and Tom "Smallwood" step onto the lanes in the 5th frame of their PBA match, tied at 269 points. Allen leaves a single pin standing but recovers to close out the frame. Smallwood then rolls a perfect "turkey" - three consecutive strikes - to take the lead. As Allen steps up for his next shot, he suddenly "fakes a little water spill" on the lane, claiming that his equipment was sabotaged and the surface is too slippery for him to bowl properly. Smallwood looks on, shaking his head at Allen's antics. The commentator notes that the playing surface is critical in bowling, with the right amount of friction being key. Smallwood steps up next but is visibly flustered by the delay, leaving a single pin standing. He manages to knock it down, but the disruption has clearly affected his focus. In the 9th frame, Smallwood leaves another open frame, cursing in frustration. With Smallwood struggling, Allen needs just 9 more points in the 10th frame to secure the win. Despite the earlier "water spill," Allen delivers a clutch performance, knocking down the necessary pins. The commentator jokingly suggests that Allen may have intentionally created the disruption, noting his "mystique" and connection to . As Allen celebrates his victory, the commentator acknowledges the controversy, saying "I don't know if you really spilled the water on purpose or not." However, he congratulates Allen on the win, calling him an "evil genius" who is also a fan of . The summary concludes with the commentator promoting the latest episode of the "Jake Radio" podcast, where they drafted the best five-player teams from each U.S. region.
