A DOIBLE PLAY got the B division team out of an early jam. as short-
stop Jack Paola took a short toss from the second baseman to force out
Martin Pearson and relayed the ball to first. The B team went on to defeat
their opponents by a 6-1 margin.
It lacked the exposure of all-star games on national
television, but there was some pretty good softball
played at the Sandy High School field Sunday.
Early threatening clouds gave way to sunshine as the
Sandy Softball League held its men’s and women's all-
star games In the men’s game, defense was the factor
as the “ B ” division lim ited the “ A ” division to eight
hits and one run while rolling up six runs themselves.
The women’s game was anything but a defensive
show as Paola’s Pizza Barn took advantage of
numerous errors to demolish the combined forces fo
Babe’s Pizza and B ill Richardson’s Realty by a 31-5
score.
The “ A” division was made up of teams from
Adventist I, Ron’s Texaco, Robert Griesen, Ken
Stone’s Nursery, Northwest Butcher Supply and the
Good Shepard Church.
“ B” division all-stars were from Paola’s Pizza, the
Hoodview Royals, Carlson Chevrolet, Cjeka Hardware
and the Sandy Volunteer Firemen
The winning “ B” division team rode the near
flawless pitching of V irgil Wells in the early going to
take a 4-0 lead after three innings. The Hoodview
Royals pitcher blanked the “ A” division team during
his brief stint on the mound, giving up only one hit. The
lone base runner didn’t last long, however, succumbing
toa double play by the“ B” division infield.
The winners picked up a run in the first inning as
Jack Paola singled, moved to second on a single by
Mike M ills and scored on a base hit by Terry Halley.
In the second inning, the “ B” division team picked
up two more runs which proved to be the winning
margin when Mike Sutton singled home Bob Rathke
and Rick Pern. The winning squad picked up another
run in the third and two more in the sixth.
“ The “ A ” division picked up its lone run in the fourth
when Dennis Traxler reached first on an error, moved
to second base on a single by Tim Veley and scored on a
base hit by B ill Spence.
In the women’s game, Paola’s had too much
firepower for their all-star opponents, as they pounded
out 30 hits and took advantage of a dozen errors in the
31-5 pasting.
Paola’s was led by Jane Emerson who was credited
with four hits in seven times at bat. She also reached
base twice on errors and once on a base on balls, as she
scored seven runs in the contest.

A GAME Just wouldn’t be a game without the proverbial dog
on the field. Judy Lamport finally exerted her authority as
umpire and tossed the pooch out of the game.
WISHING THAT her arms were about four feet longer, first Pinkerton of Paola’s Pizza Barn was the beneficiary of the
baseman Liz Dragick leaps in vain for an overthrow. Nancy errant throw, going to second base on the play.
SLIDING INTO THIRD base under the tag of third basemen
Kevin Kuzmesky la Pat Sparks of the A division team. Home
plate umpire Judy Lam pert called Sparks safe much to the
consternation of the B division team.
TAKING A HUGE cut at the ball, and missing, is the dismayed Debbie Opalweski of Bill
Richardson's Realty. The whiff was a foreshadow of things to come as the women of Paola's
Pizza Barn crushed their all-star opponents 31-5.
