Trisha Lincoln, Tommy Logsdon, and Brian Belcher all took home wins in the MI Windows Tournament hosted by the Mile Hi Horseshoe Club at Watson Lake. The weather warmed things up for this tournament but that did not hurt the competition any, as many games were highly contested.

Lincoln, (Trisha), the class A favorite was impressive by not only winning overall tournament champion, but it did it by overcoming as many as a 21 point a handicap. Trisha went undefeated and also had the most ringers of any pitcher with 122. John Lincoln took home second after falling to Trisha in the finale of Class A. Hal Handelman finished third partly due to an early loss to Cody Williams, who had the highest score of any game during the day with 70 points.

Class B winner Tommy Logsdon also went undefeated on the day beating out Steve Hartman for the top spot. Harman started off slow with an early loss, but rebounded nicely to win all of his games after that. Emmett Jones won his first and last games to finish third.
