And pardon the fact that it didn't occur in the last inning with two strikes on the batter. But when it came down to clutch hitting Josh Butler delivered, and in a big way. _ Butler's two-run home run high- ted a four-run third inning and ‘remy Carsman and Jason Perlis hed on a one-hitter to lift the Back Mountain National League All-Stars to a 4-3 win over West Pittston in District 16 action. The win advances them in the loser’'s bracket and they will play at home on Wednesday, July 15at the W.-W. Kubis Memorial Field.

American was led by the pitching of Chuck Fehlinger and the hitting of Ed Piekara. /awerican will now play Kingston Wednesday, July 15, 6 p.m. at tie Kingston Little League field. With one out and his team trail- ‘ing 2-0, Butler ripped a 2-1 fast- ball over the centerfield fence to tie the game at 2-2. The Nationals then parlayed two walks and a single by Dan Tomedi into two more runs to take a 4-2 lead, a lead they would never relinquish. Those in attendance knew it was Butler's blow that was the turning point. “That home run was the lift we needed,” said manager Bob Bayer. i got us going. But I can't say that I was totally surprised at it. Josh hit six during the regular season. But that one was really big.” Assistant coach Jim Regan agreed. “It gave us a big psychological lift,” said Regan. “The kids got excited and our dugout came around. Up until that point we didn't have very many baserun- ners. It definitely was the turning point.” West Pittston jumped out toa 2- 0 lead in the second inning despite getting a base hit. Carsman, who tossed a no-hitter in the opening round, walked three batters and loose defensive play allowed West Pittston to take the early lead. But the Nationals came back in the third. With one dutJason Perlis, who had two hits, singled and Butler followed with his round- tripper. Randy Moyer and Mike Sabol walked and then Tomedi followed with a single that was misplayed, allowing Moyer and Sabol to score to make it 4-3. Jeff Wisnewsky led off the West Pittston fourth with their first hit of the game and advanced to third on a wild pitch and passed ball. Wisnewsky then scored on an er- ror to make the score 4-3. West Pittston never mounted a serious threat after that as Perlis pitched hitless ball in the fifth and sixth to seal the victory. Carsman got the win, striking out nine and walking six while Perlis struck out two and walked one. A.J. Delucca scattered seven hits, struck out five and walked four in absorbing the loss. Senior Girls’ all-stars swamp Wyoming 30-0 By CHRISTINA CONRAD Sports Correspondent On Saturday, July 11, the Back Mountain Senior League Softball All-Star team demolished host Wyoming-West Wyoming by the score of 30-0. The combined pitching efforts of Nicole Naugle, Kate Salitt, Mary er Selenski and Kelly West ought the team a no-hitter. However, the credit for the win goes to Nicole Naugle who showed a strong performance in the few innings she pitched. Nicole helped herself at the plate as well, with three hits on the day. “I feel I play better when the pressure is off,” Naugle stated. “Those hits sort of broke the ice for me a little. I am really happy about the game.” Other happy team members are Suzanne Fisher who had three hits, and Kate Kaleta who also turned up a trio of hits. “I feel I am seeing the ball better. I'm practicing every day with my dad in the backyard and it helps a lot,” Fisher said. Back Mountain will keep prac- ticing this week beause they have a bye on Tuesday. They then will face the loser of the Harveys Lake ersus Mountaintop match-up. [ two powerhouses in the tournament will provide a good contest for Back Mountain to stay alive in this double elimination tournament in which they already = have one loss to Northwest in their tournament opener. However, Back Mountain has improved since that loss according to manager Gary Naugle. “They only had one bad inning in the tournament. They defensively broke down against Northwest. Still, the more teams play together the more they will grow. They play better together. They are more familiar with each other and there is a better team chemistry,” Naugle - said. With this new team chemistry, Back Mountain will focus on how to improve their team strengths. “I feel we will need two key pitching performances and the top to the bottom of the batting lineup will have to get the needed bunt or steal or bat on the ball,” Naugle said. “There are no weak spots on the team right now, there are 14 good line kids. There are no weak spots in the line up, even the bench,” Naugle said. Back Mountain hopes to use all of their resources this coming week because it is do or die time in the yearly Little League tournament. Team catcher Theresa Paxton said, “The team has gotten more pumped up for games. Our defense is stronger and our hitting power is great. But, we need to stick with a good defense.” A good defense is exactly what Back Mountain needs. Remember the old adage, “Offense wins games, defense wins championships.” Back Mountain will hope to take one more step closer to the cham- pionship this week.

DOVE Post Staff Now that the excitement at the beginning of trout and bass sea- sons has died down, what fishing fun is left in the Back Mountain? Plenty, if you know where to go and what to look for. Tiger muskie (muskellunge), pickerel and walleye, three of the state's most aggressive and tasty gamefish, are just waiting to tangle with a hula popper or shiny spoon at three area lakes. Harveys Lake is a great place to fish for walleye and pickerel, while anglers at Frances Slocum Lake can hook all three fighters. _ Although Sylvan Lake has also doesn't have the hot spots that ‘Harveys Lake and Frances Slocum are famous for, according to Area Fisheries Manager Bob Moase of the Pennsylvania Fish Commis- sion. “Walleye love the cold, deep water in rocky areas near thedam,” said Jerry Kozlansky, park natu- ralist at Frances Slocum State Park. “They're mainly night feeders, following the schools of alewife which have also been stocked here, and will hit on livebait or deep water jigs. I've seen walleyes more than 20 inches long caught here.” Walleyes weighing up to 10 lb. also have been reeled in at Harveys Lake. Rick Boice recommends the - Alderson section and Point Breeze, near Pole 234-235, for deep troll- ing at dusk. Pickerel also are well-estab- lished at Harveys Lake. and at Frances Slocum.

(Real men don't clean fish. If they're forced to, | they'll leave the sink filled with assorted fish body parts and heads 1 with grossly protruding tongues for the wife to clean up.) | Every sport fisherman (and woman) has a favorite, top- secret '} recipe for their catch. Here's one that's great for the summer out- 0 veys Lake's outlet dam and the wetland at Sunset. Frances Slocum's famous muskies can be found in shallow, weedy areas of the lake. Both tiger muskies and purebreds are stocked there, with the Fish Com- mission monitoring their popula- tions very closely. Boice's favorite lure for larger game fish is a chartreuse green deep lure with arattle (noisemaker). Both muskies and pickerel will hit on live baits, spinners and large spoons. Just how nasty is an aggressive gamefish? Fishermen swear that they have heard of muskies attacking the white plastic propeller blades on boats with electric motors. Obvi- ously the fish lost, but it still makes a good story for the city slickers.
