Marsala will be joined on the show, which will be broadcast live exclusively on FloBowling at 7 p.m. Eastern, by No. 2 Lennie Boresch Jr., No. 3 Brad Angelo, No. 4 Dan Knowlton and No. 5 Mitch Sacks.

While qualifying and match play took place at Bowlero Centreville in Centreville, Virginia, the finals are shifting venues and will be held in the private lanes of Bill Moore, whose father is the namesake for the event.

Moore has a pair of lanes in his basement, setting up what will be one of the most unique PBA50 finals in history.

“It’s funny because I jokingly said during a PBA tournament in 2019, we should have a stepladder finals in my basement, and people laughed,” Moore said. “Last year, I talked to (PBA Tournament Director) John Weber. It went through the whole ranks. They thought that would be a great idea to have the tournament in Centreville and the TV finals in my basement. That would be something they have never done before.”

Marsala earned the top seed for the finals with a 5-3 record and 5,426 total after 22 games, an average of 239.82.

Boresch is making yet another finals appearance this season as he looks for his first win of the year. He went 5-3 in match play and finished with a total of 5,378.

Angelo continues to find success in his PBA50 rookie season as he made another show, finishing with 5,336 after posting a 4-4 match-play record.

In the opening match of the stepladder, Knowlton will take on Sacks. Knowlton earned the No. 4 seed with a 6-2 record and 5,309 total. Sacks, meanwhile, narrowly made the show with 5,281 and a 5-3 record.

Just missing the show was Amleto Monacelli by 11 pins and Chris Barnes by 30 pins.
