BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Ryan Bremer came out on top at the Mid-South Conference Bowling Championship Saturday, winning the men's singles title and helping his team to a sixth place finish.

Bremer knocked down 1,109 pins and held the highest scores in the last three games of the series of five to take the MSC title. He was followed by Andrew Lissik in 12th place with 1,004 pins and Hudson Haynes just behind in 23rd with 966 pins.

Johnathan Henderson (68th, 838), Travis London (69th, 835), Christian Thurman (77th, 790), Devon Gunderson (78th, 788), and Zach Prince (77th, 784) also contributed to the team scores.

In doubles play, the pair of Lissik and Haynes combined efforts for a fifth place finish, while teammates Christian Thurman and Ryan Bremer took 13th. Lissik/Haynes combined for 1,970 total pins, just one hundred pins less than Butler/Keysers' 2,073, which brought the title home for Martin Methodist. Bremer shone in the last three games in the series of five, as the individual high scorer for the tournament, 213 pins for the final game.

London and Henderson paired up for a 35th place finish, while Gunderson and Prince took 40th.

The seventh-seeded Tigers struggled in their first bracket matchup against 10th-seed St. Catharine, dropping the first and fourth games and tying the third before regrouping to win the last three 205-150, 205-184, and 249-157.

Second-ranked Martin Methodist put Campbellsville away in the second bracket match, however. The Tigers won the first and third games before dropping the fourth and fifth. They clawed their way back to win the sixth 217-190, but MMU brought a strong finish about, knocking the Tigers out of the bracket with a 186-143 score.

In the consolation matches, Campbellsville beat Tennessee Wesleyan in six games and Union College in seven before taking on Lindsey Wilson in the quarterfinal match. The Tigers rallied after dropping their first two games, winning the next two, 202-190 and 222-138. LWC was able to deliver the nail in the coffin, knocking CU off of the bracket with a last game of 156-222.

Lindsey was later knocked off by Pikeville, the MSC Runner-Up. Martin Methodist took the team title.
