DENMON Staff Correspondent A strong defense and their refusal to give up kept the Dallas girls softball team in the crucial game with Valley View Thursday afternoon at Kirby Park and they came away with a 5-4 victory and the District 2 title. : The game went down to the final inning and an outstanding play at home plate to give the Mountai- neers the 5-4 win. Dallas went into the top of the seventh inning leading 5-4 behind pitcher Tracy Cave. Valley View’s catcher, Ann McGowan led off with a single but was thrown out at second when designated hitter Lynn ‘Tomko’s hit fell in front of Heidi Scholz who threw to second to get McGowan. A single by rightfielder Donna Davis put runners on first and third. It was then the Mountaineers pulled off the winning play of the game when Jenny Kosakevitch’s bunt was . picked up by Tracy Cave. Cave kept Tina Prokaryn, pinch runner, on third and threw to first. When she did, Prokaryn started for home plate but Dallas’ first baseman Tammy Daveski fired to catcher Lori Bartleson in time to get Prokaryn sliding into home.

DENMON Staff Correspondent Lake-Lehman’s girls softball defense and pitcher Beth Finn’s one-hitter led Coach Flossie Finn's Lady Knights to a 10-0 win over the Mid-Valley Spartans last Wednesday and the Class AA District 2 title. The Spartans came into the game expecting to run the bases as they had done all season but Beth Finn’s work on the mound and defensive plays by shortstop Kelly Wandel and catcher Noel Kuznicki shut that down in the first two innings. Mid-Valley’s Pat Boyko went to first on an error with one out in the first inning but was thrown out by Kuznicki when she (Boyko) tried to steal second. Centerfielder Lisa Condello was up next and went to first on a walk but Kuznicki retired the side by tagging Condello trying to steal second. Wandel started two double plays for the Knights, their first this season, to cut down Mid-Valley threats in the final two innings of the game. The Knights’ offense also played a key role in the win collecting 12 hits of losing pitcher Maria Candella. As they have done in most of their games during the season, the Knights went scoreless in the early innings but exploded for four runs in the third inning and three in the fourth to take a 7-0 lead. Wandel drove in a run with one of her two doubles and also hit an RBI single. The Knights had five doubles that would have been homeruns in most fields but because any ball hit deep from centerfield to left field could roll down a bank which made it a ground rule double. Wandel hit two (See LEHMAN, page 10) Back Mountain Little League news The USFL-NFL antiturst case is about to enter its fifth week, which is four and a half weeks longer than the attention span of anyone who doesn’t have a job hanging in the balance of a billion dollars to win or steer clear of the USFL or else.

QUAL OPPORTUNITY LENDER of grass growing, it goes something like this: The USFL is suing th NFL because it claims that the older league has engaged in shenanigans that have hurt the younger league’s chances of surviving, namely by pressuring the networks and possible host cities to keep the failing league in jockstraps long enough to ensure that when it goes kaput, not if it goes, a few of its teams might be absorbed by the NFL. At least that is the thinking of the owners who are still aboard the sinking USFL ship. A loss by the USFL will put it right up there with the World Football League and the Edsel as great ideas that it didn’t work.
