PBLA Doubles 2025 Winners

Il Cavalieri, Jonathan Nicholas and Eric Jacobson

On a beautiful day August 9th, Sixteen 2-person teams rolled for the 2025 Doubles Trophy. Hit and Run (Regina Cameli and Mike Healey from Rompi Le Palle) went to the final game with Il Cavalieri (Jonathan Nicholas and Eric Jacobson). Both teams were rolling at their best and the score in this 15-point game was tied 14-14 at the last frame. With each ball thrown, the lead changed. Hit and Run was within inches. But Eric Jacobson’s final ball rolled past tight traffic to take the pallino and walk it down the court for the win! An exciting finish to a great game. Congratulations to both teams. Final score 15-14.

A huge thanks for the generosity of many people who brought food for St Philip Neri’s Food Pantry! This was such a success, we will be asking for pantry donations again at our end-of-season celebration on September 6th.
