DENMON Staff writer Back Mountain Legion defeated Tunkhannock three times this past week and needs only one more win to assure itself a spot in the Wyo- ming Valley playoffs. On Monday the team topped Tunkhannock 12-3 to maintain its first place standing over Plymouth. Back Mountain’s record now stands at 15-2. Pitchers Scott Francis and Chris Engle hurled the Back Mountain team to back-to-back wins over Tunkhannock last week. The Back Mountain team had dropped per- centage points behind Plymouth last Wednesday when Gary Ostroski pitched the Plymouuth Legion team to a 10-3 win over the Mountaineers, striking out seven and helping pick up his win at the plate by hitting three doubles and scoring four runs. His teammate Jim McDermott insured the Plym- outh team’s win by driving out a two-run homer. The Back Mountain Legionaires took a 5-3 win from Tunkhannock, Thursday, behind Scott Francis on the mound. Francis struck out 15 and walked only three pitching the entire game. The win put the local team back in the lead in the North Division. The Tunkhannock team took a 3-1 lead at the end of the first two innings when Scott Davies singled and scored on a squeeze play and Gary Brennan scored on a wild pitch after taking base on a single. The Back Mountain nine made it 3-2 in the bottom of the fourth on a lone home ruun by Gene Faulls, then tied it up in the bottom of the fifth. Keith Schultz singled and scored on Brett Weyman’s single in the sixth inning to put Back Moun- tain in front 4-3. Rick Juuroski knocked out a single to send home pinch-runner Randy Coolbaugh to give the Back Mountain team the 5- 3 win. In Friday’s action, the Back Mountain team walloped Tunkhan- nock 22-7 behind winning pitcher Chris Engle, who struck out 13 batters and gave up only seven hits. Engle helped his cause by hitting three singles. Don Spencer led in building up an 11-3 lead for the local team by driving out a three-run homer in the first inning and adding a two-. run homer in the second inning, following Todd Sallo’s two-run homer in the same frame. Steve Bogdan also collected three hits for the Back Mountain team, who picked up a total of 21 hits off three Tunkhannock pitchers.Hitting dou- bles for the Back Mountain were Sweppenheiser, Ashworth and Bogdon. The local team put together eight hits for eight runs in the bottom of the sixth to match their second inning scores. The win raised Back Mountain to an extended lead over Plymouth. Eric Olsen will join Wilkes College wrestling team Dallas High School’s Eric Olsen will continue his wrestling exploits for the Wilkes College Colonels beginning this fall. Olsen posted a 25-6 record in his senior season and placed second in districts and fourth in regionals. He was district champion in his junior year. His career slate is 62-20-5. The 112-pounder is expected to bulk up to 118 or 126 for Coach John Reese’s Colonels. Reese is proud of the high caliber wrestlers he has recruited for the upcoming campaign. When Reese speaks highly of his prizes, Olsen can consider himself part of a special group. “I like the kids we have coming in, and I'm convinced that all, including Eric, will eventually become first-rate college wres- tlers,”’ Reese said. Dallas Coach Larry Schuler agrees. “Eric is very gutsy. He keeps you on the edge of your seat when he wrestles,”’ he said. “He may not be flashy or have a large repertoire of moves but more importantly, he never quits. I believe he could frustrate many national caliber wrestlers.” Olsen, the son of Donald W. and Diana L. Olsen, will major in busi- ness administration at Wilkes.
