A Great Series

THE Irish beat the Irish on Sunday afternoon and lost their Quince to get into the City Softball League finals. ._

Ahead 6-4 entering the final frame. the Shamrocks looked like champions and Pistons‘ supporters were about to pack it up. But things changed in a hurry as Pistons started hitting and the Irish started bobbling the ball. when things were over, the Pistons had won and the Shamrocks were elirnhiated.

However. is was a bitter series that went right down to the wire. Down 3-1 after four games, Vern Blanchard's boys rallied to take the next two games and force Sunday afternoou’s_ clincher. Indeed the Irish chould have had things rapped up in six games only for a damaging error that cost them the third game. _

But regardless of the outcome, the series was a humdln-ger that had fans flocking out to the old diamond in good numbers to watch the proceedings. They saw a pretty fair brand of solt- ball in every one of the seven games and they were treated to some stout-hearted pitching. _

Mike 0’Brien got the final win and it was fitting after his two great previous efforts, one of them a r.o—hitter. However. Mlke was minus control on Sunday and he was a mighty fortunate man to wind up with the triumph. He walked 14 batters yet he escaped the jaws of defeat. :

His opponent was Joe Thistle. the real workhorse of the Irish staff. Joe pitched the Shamrockes back on even terms with Wins on Thursday and Saturday and had things “in the bag” for the seventh if his mates had held the fort. In defeat. Thistle was great and he surely can't blame himself for the tough loss on Sunday.

And Now The Finals

THE finals will not start until after Old Home Week cele brations.

I should be quite a battle between these Pistons and Mike Conn(.-Ily's National Park All-Stars who finished the regular ‘sched- lie in first place. On the strength of regular season p ormances. vou would have to give the Park boys a bit of an edge. However. the way the Pistons performed in the semi-finals has them keyed up to the limit and they are entering the finals with the belief that they can overcome the Bradleys and the Hughes.

‘We th k that will be quite some task. These Park lads are a formidable crew and they have a mighty well-balanced club. Their team spirit is terrific and they never give up until that final out.

Softball finals come

fans have a real treat in store for them when these along.
