Second place Erico grabbed five runs in the
top of the seventh to secure a 10-3 victory over
Kinzua Corp. last Tuesday in Mermistion
Slo pilch softball action.
The game, played in Lexington, say Kinzua,
a well-rounded defensive and a strong hitting
club, take a early, 2 0 lead in the first inning.
After Erico came back with a solo run in the
bottom of the first, the game was dormant for
two innings.
The score was 5-3 after two run innings in
the fourth and fifth by Erico.
In the top of the seventh, Erico bats went to
work. Robin Conboy, John Tolan and Skip
Weitzer slodc to the plate in order and lashed
out at the 5 3 score with solo homers.
The three homeruns sparked the five run
rally and gave Erico the contest.
Kinzua bounced back Thursday night with
an impressive 15 7 triumph over Marlette of
Hermislon.
Marlette took a 6-2 lead in the game before
Kinzua rattled their bats in the fourth inning,
In that inning, Kinzua scored eight runs on
hits and base running by Kevin Dick, Mike
Smith, Gary Kemp, Keith Curnett, Mike
Rowell, Jamie Sands and Marvin Lane.
Lane highlighted another Kinzua rally with
a homer over the left field fence at Armand
Larive Jr. High in Hermistion.
The Heppner team participated in the
Burns Invitational tourney last week but were
eliminated early in the double elimination
tourney.
Smittys of Hermistion leads the slo pitch
competition with a perfect, 7-0 record.
Valley Aviation fell to Kinzua. 162 In a
Koltball game last Tuesday night in
Mermiston.
Kinzua had over 20 hits to clinch the victory
after five innings. The hitting was led by
tavern Van Marter and Mike Smith who hit
triples in the fourth and fifth innings,
respectively . The team scored four runs in the
third and six in the fourth to take a 10 2 lead.
Inspired by their victory over Valley
Aviation, Kinzua took on the leading team in
the league and were defeated 6-2. Smitty's
took the victory at a 7 p.m. game Wednesday
night in Lexington.
Heppner jumped to an early lead when
Marvin tane scored in the second inning. In
the following inning, Lavern Van Marter
added another run to lead Smitty's. 2-0.
However, in the fourth, Smitty's hitting was
strong as they had three runs aided by the
wind. Smitty's then added two more runs in
the fifth to ice the win.
Smitty's were last year's Hermiston
slow pitch softball champions.
Kinzua has two games this week with Erico

Extension
reports
F'or all the girls and women in the lone area who were
unable to attend the popular T-shirt construction classes
offered recently by the Extension Service, a special
workshop is planned to be held in lone at the High School
Home Economics Room, Wednesday, June 30, 1:30 p.m.,
according to Birdine Tullis.
Those attending should bring a pattern of their choice, for a
T-shirt, fabric required for the pattern style chosen, sewing
notions such as scissors, thread and any trim they may wish
to use. Fabrics should be pre-washed prior to class. The
instructors, Birdine Tullis and Jeanne Howell, will present
techniques of sewing the knit fabrics, as well as ideas and
suggestions for decorating and personalizing the garment.
The T-shirt styles are popular with all age groups this
summer and are easily and quickly made, Birdine reports,
and part of the fun of making your own is the individuality of
decorating them to suit your personality. Everyone is
welcome to attend the free class.
