The annual Noxen Slo Pitch Softball tournament that
was concluded on Saturday was the most successful held
to date, and Tourney Directors Jim and Dwight Barbacei,
Carl Siglin and Tom Bean, were pleased with the large
number of entries this year, as well as the turnout of fans
to witness the 30-odd games played during the past three
weekends. The tourney ended on Saturday with seven
games played and winners determined in the winners’
and losers’ divisions. Tourney results will be found on the
Sports page of this issue.
Jim Barbacci told a Post representative the tourney
was the most successful held to date. Umpiring by
Wyoming Valley Umpires Association members was
superb. The turnout by fans and the sportsmanship dis-
played by the 16 teams that competed in the tourney was
tops, Barbacci said.
“We're sure all of the 16 teams that entered the tourney
enjoyed it, and we are looking forward to an expansion of
the tournament next year,” he concluded. Noxen Rebels,
who sponsor the tourney, will use proceeds to promote
basketball this fall and softball next summer, for that
team.
Tourney shorts: Noxen Rebels had the only shutout of
the tourney when the Rebels blanked the Jenks entry in a
no-hit, no-run affair...Noxen folk are still talking about
the two ‘long balls’ hit during the tournament, a long drive
by Steve Meskers of the Hilltop Inn team, which hit near
the top of the Case home, which is located in deep left field
at the Noxen diamond, and the clout by Bob Lussi of the
Grotto nine, which sailed into the top of the big tree in the
Case yard-both drives going for homeruns and traveling
about 350 feet each. Only other homerun during the
tourney was hit by Jack Coslett, also of the Grotto team.
