Marietta girls win
Softball tournament results in
1st place for Marietta, 3rd for Mount Joy in field of 10 teams
Marietta girls smashed
their way to victory last
Sunday night at Memorial
Park as they overcame
Middletown’s Rescue soft-
ball team 17-3 to win the
Ist place trophy in the
annual Marietta Youth Ath-
letic Association tourna-
ment.
Mount Joy’s team came
in 3rd after Middletown.
Both Holly Baker and
‘“‘Butch’’ Kolp blasted
homers over the heads of
the helpless Rescue out-
fielders, driving in the
runs.
Kolp hit her home run
into the tennis courts, the
first time this ever was
done, according to the
announcer (her mother).
Marietta defeated Rescue
9-6 in an earlier game. In
the last game, at 11:00, the
Middletown players didn’t
stand a chance as Marietta
out-fielded, out-hit, and
out-threw them.
Other teams that partici-
pated in the tournament
are: Chapman’s, Marietta
Congregational, Lamp Post,
Fishbowls, Maytown, Farm
Diner, and National
Standard.
Marietta’s team is com-
posed of ‘‘Butch’’ Kolp,
Kathy Lewis, Norma
Heisey, Raeann Parker,
Loris Raber, Sharon
Bryant; Grace Raber, Barb
Voight, Lolly Baker, Peg
Sweigart, Holly Baker, and
coaches Winnie Bensinger
and Harry Hoover.

Roaten and Frey
are stars of
Basketball Camp
Due to a temporary
increase in the already high
level of confusion in our
office, we are just getting
around to publishing the
names of local award
winners at the Donegal
boys’ basketball camp. (We
still don’t have results for
the girls).
Judging by their per-
formance this summer,
both the boys’ and girls’
teams should be making
plenty of news this winter.
Tim Roaten was the
Most Valuable Camper.
He naturally made the
all-star team, along with
teammates Craig Zink and
Randy Derr. The threesome
won the three-on-three
competition. Two of them
(sorry, we don’t know
which two) won the two-on-
two contest, and Tim won
the one-on-one.
In the junior high div-
ision, Mike Frey won the
Mr. Defense award.
