Boy, 10, among the youngest to bowl a perfect game
Jan. 25 (UPI) -- A New Jersey 10-year-old has become the second youngest person to bowl a perfect 300 at a bowling alley in the United States.
Kai Struthers, who first showed an interest in bowling at only 18 months old, rolled a perfect 300 score Saturday at the Linden Bowling Alley in New Jersey.
"Once he got to the ninth frame and he threw the strike, I had to walk away because I didn't want him to get more nervous, I didn't want him to see my emotion because my stomach was in knots," his mother, Sharonda Struthers, t old WABC-TV.
She said her son first started bowling in a league when he was 4 and became serious about turning his hobby into a passion two years ago.
"He eat, sleep, and drinks bowling. Even when he's not bowling, he's on his phone on a bowling game. It's what he loves," the mother told NJ.com.
Kai said his aim to one day become a professional bowler. His mother said high schools and colleges have already begun scouting the young bowler.
The U.S. Bowling Congress said Hannah Diem of Seminole, Fla., became the youngest person in the United States to bowl a perfect game when she rolled a 300 at Liberty Lanes in Largo, Fla., at the age of 9 years, 6 months and 19 days in November 2013.

I know the only people who care about bowling are those who are doing it, but I still think this is a pretty cool story. The average person could probably bowl hundreds of times and never bowl a perfect game.
How cool, kudo's to him...
The average bowler will never bowl a perfect game...Even among the top pro's this is a hell of an accomplishment.
I bowled many 300 as a preteen and for my high school team but no one ever recorded them, but i usually got free games or free soda.
They were only interested in "League play" at the time.
There was a time when I smoked like a chimney and had an average in the 280's
When I stopped caring and stopped smoking my occasional play is in the low 200's, terribly inconsistent wrist strength...lol
SP, I'm not going to say your full of shit, but your full of shit...LOLOLOL
I got a 290 once.
The Wii counts, right?
I'm happy to bowl a perfect 150.
Congrats to this kid that's an impressive feat. To be honest I had thought bowling went the way of the Dodo back in the 90's, can't believe it's something colleges still recruit for.
I once bowled a 301...Perfect plus one.
It's never been equaled in the amateur or professional ranks.
