DENMON Staff Writer LT Dallas softball girls ended the season in a two way tie with Pittston by defeating Nanticoke 14-11 in a unique high-scoring game Monday, while the Patri- ettes were defeating Hazleton 9-1. The loss dropped Nanticoke from the playoffs when Coughlin defeated Tunkhannock 7-6. The high score was produced by walks as the Dallas-Nanticoke teams had 21 walks between them. Laura Poynton and Tracy Hunter took turns on the mound with Poynton picking up the win. She struck out one and walked eight. Hunter came in to relieve Poynton and struck out one and also walked eight. Poynton re- turned to the mound to finish the Sallo who picked up the win struck out six and walked only three in four innings. Sam Gor- gone came in to pitch the fifth inning and struck out two giving up no walks nor hits. In Friday's game with North- west, the Knights powerful offense picked up 12 hits five of them for extra bases including three hom- eruns as they moved to within one game of Hoban who was idle in the North AA. Engle picked up the 10-6 win for the Knights and aided his own cause by driving out two hom- eruns, one of them three-runshot in the first as he drove in four runs. Engle pitched six innings striking out seven, walking one and giving up only four hits. The score was 10-1 when he was re- lieved by Gorgone who pitched one inning before he was relieved by Todd Sallo. Engle came back in the seventh to finish the inning when the Rangers scored four run. He game in the final inning. Dallas and Pittston will meet at Kirby Park Wednesday at 1 p.m., in a playoff to decide the title in the North AAA Division.
