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.
The play by the Mountaineers was one they have
practiced all season and after the game, Coach Jay
Pope said they expected Valley View to pull their play
if they had a runner in position to score. Pope said his
girls practice crucial plays like the 1-3-2 out every
day.

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

naughty behavior, the USFL is
asking for more than a billion

everything, of course.

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.
