Joe Ciccone of Buffalo, N.Y. has been named the Bowling Writers Association of America's Kegel Bowler of the Month for May.
Ciccone, who lost his exemption on the PBA Tour, reclaimed an exemption to bowl on the Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour for the 2009-10 season by leading the PBA Tour Trials in Allen Park, Mich. The 2000 PBA Rookie of the Year averaged 214 during the five-day, 45-game test on five different PBA conditions. Immedidately prior to the Tour Trials, Ciccone won the PBA Regional Players Championship, also at Thunderbowl Lanes, earning a berth in the 2010 PBA Tournament of Champions.
The other nominee garnering significant votes was Johnny Petraglia, who broke four PBA Senior Tour scoring records on his way to winning the PBA Senior Sun Bowl in The Villages, Fla.
