It was to be the high game of the tournament at 96.6%. Elmer started the game with 21 doubles (42 ringers) in a row! With the score 42-0, we was getting close to a perfect game that was not to be. Not yet. A few weeks later, Elmer also set the record for high overall average at the World Tournament (88.2%) and pitched a perfect game of 30 shoes.
