POYNTON DELIVERS-Dallas softball pitcher Laura Poynton winds up to deliver a fast pitch to a Spartan batter in the Dallas-Wyoming Valley West game last Friday which the Mountaineers won 11-1 for a 2-0 record in league play. (C.M. Denmon Photo) Poynton, defense star in two big wins By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Writer “Laura Poynton's pitching was excellent in our last two games,” Coach Jay Pope said after his girls softball team defeated Crestwood 11-0 last Tuesday and Wyoming Valley West 11-1 last Friday after- noon. “Laura has worked long hours to become more effective. She is throwing a much faster ball and has control with it. She was a mature athlete last season but has become more so this year. ~ “Laura's pitching and the solid defense she has behind her was the key to our wins. Crestwood and Valley West are both good teams, better than they appeared to be last week. “We have two crucial games this week playing Wyoming Area at home Monday and Hazleton at home Thursday. Wyoming is a very competitive team and we are ex- pecting them to be tough. Many of the girls on the Hazleton team played together on a team this summer so they will be ready to play.” While Pope expressed some concern with his team’s offense, Dallas pitcher Laura Poynton is optimistic the team will find some power at the plate. “It's difficult to come up with hits when you're hitting sacrifices to move runners around on the bases and in the Valley West game, it was difficult because the pitch- ers were throwing so many balls, you had to wait it out, then draw a walk. I believe we'll come through with hits when we need them.” Poynton was more pleased with her pitching in the Valley West game than against Crestwood. She said she was throwing hard and her pitching felt better. “I have to give our defense a lot of credit. They do a great job both in the outfield and the infield. They're always there when they're needed. Dallas' defense was outstand- ing in both games. That was obvi- ous as the girls made plays most thought impossible. Poynton, sec- ond baseman Holly Bachman, ~ leftfielder Julianne Orlowski and rightfielder Stephanie Andrasko made some outstanding catches in the Spartans game and Poynton who gave up seven hits in the Crestwood game gave up only two hits in the Valley West game. one in the second inning a single by Karen Betnar and one with two out in the third inning when Jodi Amos hit a single. Late sports results Dallas girls lose tri-meet Gretchen Schuler took the spotlight for Dallas girls track team Monday by taking first in the 1600m and 3200m runs and first in a leg of the 3200m relay as the girls lost 110-31 to Crestwood and 85-56 to Bishop Hoban.

Dallas baseball team scores two upsets By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Writer The Dallas Mountaineers gave their baseball Coach Jack Wolensky a pleasant surprise last week by defeating Wyoming Area and Wyoming Valley West, two of the teams favored in the AAA Divi- sion. Wolensky is not over-optimis- tic, however, since this week his young Mountaineers host Tunkhannock and Coughlin, also two tough teams. Prior to the opening of the sea- son Wolensky said the Mountain- ners division was tough and there were no easy teams in the division. His only hope was that his team would be consistent and improve with each game. The Mountaineers have four sophomores in their lineup and senior Randy Coolbaugh, one of the Mounts few experienced play- ers, is expected to pitch for Dallas against Tunkhannock who comes into this week with a 1-1 record. Dallas has a second tough game Thursday when they host Cough- lin, always a competitive team, but who came into this week with an O- 2 record. Dallas surprised the Spartans Monday when Randy Coolbaugh on the mound scattered four hits, . struck out four and walked only three. Brett Weyman and Bob Ashworth went two-for-four and two-for-three at the plate to lead Dallas in key hits. In the first inning the Moun- taineers scored four runs on two hits. They added a fifth run in the second inning on a single by Ray Russin and a one-out single by Ashworth which sent home Russin who had gone to second earlier on an eJror. They scored their final run in the seventh on two errors and a single by Weyman. It was sophomore Eric Paczewski and Ray Russin, who led the sev- enth inning rally. Paczewski who was two-for-two at the plate, hit a double to drive home Jeff Tinner and Matt Butler to give the Mounts a 5-4 lead and Russin singled home the final runs which gave the Mountaineers the 7-4 win. Dallas used three pitchers in the game with Andy Prebola start- ing and going four innings, strik- ing out four and walking three, Bob Ashworth was credited with the win pitching two innings, fan- ning one and walking one, and Coolbaugh got the save by pitch- ing the final innings striking out one and walking one.
