Brevettes Host Fundaze Invitational
by Roger Stwyer
The Eighth Annual Fun-
daze Invitational S o f t b a l l
Tournament is over, and the
Eugene C hic’s showed their
fine quality to play by winning
the first place trophy.
The perpetual trophy must
be won three times before a
team can take it home. Lake
Oswego won it the last two
years, but was unable to make
it this year.
When asked what led his
team to victory, Coach Revelle
replied, “It was obviously our
pitching, we never pitched this
good a g a m e.” But in an
earlier game against Eugene,
the coach for Lebanon said,
“ The pitcher for Eugene
chokes up in a full count
situation.” .
The cham pionship gam e,
played between Eugene and
Medford Taco Bells, was ded
icated to Jake Wacker, who
was coach of Junction City and
passed away last month. Auro-
lyn Stw yer, reigning Miss
Warm Springs and center field
for the Warm Springs Brav-
ettes presented a beautiful
Pendleton blanket to the wid
ow.
The first gam e of the
championship series was won
by Medford, 3-1, in front of a
Crowd of about 200 people. A
player for Medford remarked,
“We won because of our de
fense, we held them from
scoring, and m ade very few
errors.” A spectator w a s
slightly mad because Eugene
lost the first game. He showed
this when he said, “the ump
ires were just cheating for
Medford.” The umpires were
Doyle Whipple of Madras, and
Lyle Thomas of Bend.
In the final game, Eugene
outscored Medford 9-1 to take
the championship.
The Warm Springs Brav
ettes didn’t play too well, but
they won their first gam e
against McMinneville 9-3.
In their games, the Brev
ettes lost to Hillsboro, 7-0, and
then to Medford 3-1. Coach of
the B revettes, Vernon Taner
washa said , “ we never got
started right away in the first
three innings, and we never hit
the ball.” It was no shame to
lose to Hillsboro though, be
cause they were Oregon State
Champs last year, and took
fourth in the Nation.
The Most Valuable Player
was Dree McCabe who played
for Eugene Chic’s:
The Most Valuable Pitcher
was Rhonda Revelle who also
played for Eugene Chic’s.
The Sportsmanship trophy
weht to McMinnville.
Julie
M itchell,
