LAS VEGAS — Maybe, Staten Islander Melissa Kammerer should try her luck at the slot machines Thursday night in one of the casinos here in Sin City.

It can’t hurt considering what she accomplished Thursday afternoon in the USBC Women’s Championships’ Diamond Singles, as she rolled the highest series in the tourney’s 103-year history — a whopping 818 series on tough conditions at South Point Bowling Plaza. The righty’s series included a perfecto in her final game. Her first two scores were 280 and 238.
