MARENGO, Iowa (AP) - Bowlers who were present for league night at the Lucky 6 Lanes in Marengo on March 26 won't soon forget the evening.
It's when University of Iowa office worker Karmen Munson bowled not one - but two - perfect games.
Munson, a 47-year-old from Williamsburg, bowls for Brenda's Hair Supply.
On Munson's magic night, the other bowlers at Luck 6 acted like teammates around a pitcher working on a no-hitter - at least through most of her first 300 game. The odds of rolling one are one in 11,500.
The odds against two consecutive perfect games are 1.3 million to one.
But Munson made it.
Her third game of the night, though, was only a 171 - a bit lower than her 185 average.
