That is just called for in a row. There is no special name for that.
Second Response:
The only answer is brought to us by the announcers at ESPN. They too struggled with a term for one strike after a Turkey. They named it "Hambone". This is the only one I know of at the time.
Third Response:
I thought it was called a 4-bagger. I have also heard it called a cherry.
Fourth Response:
It really has never had a universally accepted name the way that 3 strikes in a row is called a "turkey," but in 2006 or 2007, Pro Bowling announcer Rob Stone, basically a non-bowler but trying to show enthusiasm for the sport, coined the term "hambone" for 4 strikes in a row.
It's become something of a controversy, probably more so at the upper echelons of the sport, where people tend to take themselves more seriously. Some like it, giving the Professional Bowlers Association a bit of extra publicity and pizaz, while others think its a hokey stunt by a bowling interloper.
At bowling league levels, most of us are fairly happy throwing the term "hambone" out there, though where I am, only occasionally do I hear someone bring it up when 4 strikes in a row are thrown.
Fifth Response:
In classic bowling vernacular, the original name for four in a row was "clover." As in lucky as a four leaf clover for throwing one. In the early days of the game, it was very difficult to throw three in a row, never mind throwing four in a row. Then someone from ESPN created the misnomer, hambone.
The term hambone for four in a row came from Rob Stone, an ESPN announcer, who incidentally is not a bowler, made up the name himself because he wondered why there wasn't a term for four in a row if there was a turkey for three in a row.
