THE BLUFFTON NEWS, BLUFFTON, OHIO
With rain coming every Monday
evening, five weeks of softball com
petition have gone by without church
league teams having a chance to play
their first games. Monday’ of last
week, the teams had one inning
played, when a downpour came, and
that one inning marks the total play
ing time in the schedule to date.
One game remains in first round of
Minor league play, altho Mathew
son’s Stokers have first round hon
ors clinched. Hankish’s Scuds, how
ever, proved the Stokers are not in
vincible by’ defeating them last week
by a score of 9 to 7. The second place
battle continues between the Scuds
and Dunifon’s Corkscrews, with the
Corkscrews leading and one game
left to be played.
Major league teams completed first
round play last week, with the Sports
men copping honors.
