USBC Hall of Famer Lucy Sandelin of Tampa, Fla., outlasted Kristy Whitcher of Belfair, Wash., 237-203, to capture the title at the 2013 Triple Crown Shoot-Out presented by The Orleans on Sunday evening at the ITRC.

Sandelin, the 2007 Senior Queens champion, eliminated Carol Teel of The Villages, Fla., 221-201, and Vidad, 246-190, before defeating Whitcher in the finals for the $1,000 top prize. Whitcher received $750 for second place.

"I tried to keep my mind quiet and let my body do the work," Sandelin said. "Today was just about making good shots and keeping the ball in front of me. I was second in the Triple Crown last year, second at the Senior U.S. Women's Open, twice, so it feels good to get a win under my belt."

The Triple Crown Shoot-Out brought together the top 10 bowlers from the National Golden Ladies Classic, Senior U.S. Women's Open and Senior Queens into a single-elimination bracket based on their qualifying scores from each of the three events.
