What was remarkable is that Rudolph had this moment before.Rudolph remembered a high game of 268 she tallied a few years ago in a different league. Her team members saved the score sheet and had it framed as a gift.Here's the unique part: The 268 game came on the same date, Dec. 2, 2006, and the game was rolled with the strikes, spares and pin count the exactly the same.I bet Joyce can't wait until Dec. 2 to roll around again.
