According to ABC affiliate WLOX, Ricky Rader spent years perfecting his skills and has bowled a total of 23 perfect games.
But nearly a decade after losing both legs due to an infection, Rader made his return to bowling - this time with two prosthetic legs.
His perseverance paid off earlier this month. Dozens gathered behind him as he approached the lane, just one strike away from a perfect game.
He nailed it - and now he plans to keep working to get better at the game he loves.
