Due to tournament rules, he was forced to take no score through the first 4 frames of the first game. He started to get comfortable in the second game, throwing a 184. Sean's last game was when the magic happened with his perfect 300 game. For his efforts, Sean took the top score for his division with scholarship dollars attached to that as well. Congrats to Sean on his achievement!
