Betts opened up his second career with a strong 224 and topped that with an even more impressive 249 on his first day in the PBA event.

Betts experienced a few lows as well, throwing a 140 in one of the nine games he bowled on the event’s first day, according to the Boston Herald, but considering the outfielder is not a full timer like most of his competitors, it is an impressive showing.

The Red Sox star will continue in the competition through at least Friday, and may even appear on ESPN if he stays in contention through Dec. 17.
