Lake-Lehman’s softball team
was favored to win its game with
the Wyoming Area Warriors last
Monday but the outcome was a
disappointment to players, Coach
Flossie Finn and fans when the
seven inning game score turned
out to be 85 in favor of the
Wyoming Warriors.
Sharlene Severnak went 2-for-3
including a two-run double for
the Warriors as they pulled the 8-
5 upset win over the Knights.
Severnak’s double came in the
second inning after a walk by
Pam Cegalka and Kathie Grin-
dall was hit by a pitched ball.
After the first two innings of play
Wyoming had jumped out to a 5-0
lead.
FINN ON MOUND
Beth Finn, who won her first
two games out the previous week
with a three-hitter and a no-
‘hitter, was on the mound for the
Knights while Kim Schultz, who
had 24 strikeouts to her credit
going into the game, was pitch-
ing for the Warriors. Schultz had
also pitched the Warriors first
two games which they won and
came into the game confident
she would lead her team in an
upset.
There was little doubt that the
Warriors were up for the game
as they took advantage of every
opportunity that came their way.
Schultz struck out two Lehman
batters in the first inning and
kept the Knights guessing
throughout the game by throwing
a change of pitches and using a
rising fastball. She held the
power-hitting Lehman batters to
just two runs over the first six
innings.
BAD START
Finn got off to a bad start
when she hit Severnak with a
pitched ball, then Kathy Kopcza
hit a grounder that was mis-
played into an error. With two
on, Finn walked Karen Lipka
and then threw a wild pitch
letting Severnak score and the
other runners advance. A second
walk by Finn and a fielder’s
choice gave the Warriors a
second run in the first inning.
After the Knights went down in
order, the second inning was
almost a repeat of the first. Finn
i
Dallas Post/Earl Weidner
walked Pam Cegelka, then put
Kathy Grindall on hit by a
pitched ball. Laurie Cannon
came in to relieve Finn and
pitched to Severnak who drove
out a double to score Cegelka.
Kopcza and Lipka each hit fast
grounders driving in runs to give
their Warriors a 5-0 lead.
The Knights scored one run in
the third inning and one in the
fifth while the Warriors scored a
run in the fifth and one in the
sixth to take an 8-2 lead.
COMBACK STAGED :
In the seventh inning, the
Knights staged a comeback when
Lori Pantle led off with a single.
She scored a run for the Knights
on a ground ball to the pitcher’s
mound and Pam Coolbaugh, on
bases with a walk, scored on a
double by Cindy Slocum. Kelly
Siglin, who was 2-for-3 knocked
out an RBI single with only one
out but the rally ended when
Debbie Levi grounded out to the
pitcher and Noel Kuznicki hit a
short pop fly to the infield.
WVW DIFFERENT STORY
The Knights’ game with Wyo-
ming Valley West, Thursday
afternoon, was a different story.
Finn gave up only six hits,
struck out five and walked only
four and gave up only four runs
to the Spartans, two in the first
inning and two in the third.
The Lady Knights scored four
runs in the first inning and four
in the second. Laurie Pantle and
Pam Coolbaugh started the scor-
ing in the first inning with sin-
gles and Noel Kuznicki drove out
a triple to send home two runs.
Kelly Siglin, playing as a pinch
hitter, drove out a double which
scored two of the Knights five
runs in the fifth inning. Susie
Slocum, Kelly Wandel hit triples
and S. Slocum, Wandel, siglin,
had stolen bases for the Knights.
The Knights scored a ninth run
in the third inning and after
scoring five runs in the fifth, the
game ended under the 10-run
rule.
DEFEAT TECH
The Dallas Mountaineers
trounced the West Side Tech
team 25-3 on Monday afternoon
scoring 10 runs in the first inning
while Dallas pitcher Tracy Cave
held the young West Side Tech
girls scoreless. With the score 10-
0 at the end of two innings,
Dallas Coach Jay Pope pulled
most of the varsity and put
Tracy Hunter on the mound.
Despite the change, the Mountai-
neers scored 11 runs in the third
inning and two more in the
fourth and fifth inning while the
Titans scored one run in the third
and two in the bottom of the
under the league’s 10-run rule.
Lisa Gabel, Lori Bartleson and
Tracy Hunter drove out doubles
for Dallas and Tammy Daveski
hit out a triple, all of the extra
base hits coming in the 11-run
third inning. Lori Cave, Joyce
Tinner and Bartleson had two
hits each while Tracy Cave and
Daveski led Dallas with three
hits each.
“I give the West Side Tech
girls a lot of credit,” said Dallas
Coach Jay Pope. “They are a
very young team but they never
gave up, they stayed out on the
field and they should get better
as they get more experience.”
GAME POSTPONED
The Dallas-Nanticoke game
scheduled for last Thursday was
postponed because of the
