ment gets underway Friday

field.

Sunday.

action surprised pre-event
favorites as it walked off with
the championship in the 1974
District Slow Pitch Tourna-
ment here Sunday.
The Bargain Barn team, a
fast-improving squad com-
posed mainly of young players
two or three years out of high
school, rolled through the
15-team tournament unbeaten
and wrapped up the crown
with a 6-2 decision over Moses
Lake city champion Ripple
Tavern in the finals.
As champion and runner-up
in the district event, which ran
all last week, Bargain Barn
and Ripple Tavern will now
. advance to the Washington
State Class AA slow pitch
tournament scheduled to get
underway in Longview this
Friday.
Benavidez Third
Benavidez Cafe, another
tournament surprise, finished
third in the district, and will
advance to the State Class A in
Kennewick, also starting this
Friday. Joining Benavidez in
the Kennewick tournament
will be city champion Bruns-
wick Tavern, which finished a
disappointing fourth and man-
aged only three victories in the
tournament.
While controversy plagued
the tournament and charges of
intentional "dumping" of
games to qualify for the A
event were lodged against
Brunswick by some of the
other team members, Bargain
Barn provided the local
highlight of the event and
walked off with an "untarn-
ished" and well-earned first
place trophy.
Big Win Wednesday
The champions got a key
victory on last Wednesday
night when they surprised
Ephrata city champion Max
Warner Insurance with a
12-inning 8-5 victory. Down
2-1, Jack's tied the game in the
bottom of the seventh with
three singles, and then got hits
from Danny Para and Rigo
Vein to match two Warner
runs in the eighth. Defense
marked the next three innings
with Bargain Barn finally
breaking it open in the bottom
of the 12th with four runs on
key doubles by Paul Smith and
Vein.
With tournament play re-
suming following a break for
the LDS slow pitch event,
Jack's scored a 14-5 victory
over Earrs A&W on Sunday
morning. Earrs had surprised
Brunswick with an 8-7 eight-
inning loss last Wednesday to
advance to the semi-finals.
Beat Ripple Twice
Jack's then came right back
to dump Ripple into the losers'
bracket with a 5-3 victory. In
the championship game,
Ripple took an early lead on a
second inning homer, but
Jack's battled right back to tie
it on third inning doubles by
Rick Johnston and Smith.
Three straight singles by
Vela, Kurt Davis and Robert
Schutte made it 3-1 in the
fourth, and Jack's then iced it
with five singles and two runs

Simplot of Moses Lake on last
Wednesday, scored a 7-1
decision over Ochoa Farms
early Sunday to reach the
semi-finals. After the first
Jack's loss, the Moses Lake

Back After Loss
Benavidez Care, which
played during the regular
season in the A division of the
~league,~vas almost as big
an upset winner as Jack's in
taking its third place finish.
The squad, which had lost
its opener to Earrs early last
week, marched back through
the losers' bracket as it
dumped the Air Base 8-5 last
Thursday and stopped Mid-
way of Moses Lake 7-0
Saturday night. On Sunday
Benavidez kept rolling with an
11-7 win over Vet's of Moses

Close Game Early
Redmond used an error and
a single to jump to a 1-0 lead in
the top of the first, but Othello
came right back to tie it as
Donnie Schlagel led off with a
double and then scored on Jim
Sandusky's single.
Two errors, two walks and
two doubles put Redmond
back in front with four runs
and a 5-1 lead in the top of the
second. Othello cut the marg~
back to 5-2 in the bottom of the
inning has Preuninger doubled
and scored on Dave Davis'
single.
Preuninger stopped Red-
mond for the next three
innings, and Othello appeared
to be right back in it as Tim,
Stephens' long homer made it
just 5-3 in the bottom of the
fifth. It was all over minutes
later, however as the roof fell

The bubble finally burst last
Thursday night for the Othello
All-Stars as they were elim-
inated from the State Little
League tournament on an 11-3
loss to Redmond.
The defeat came in the
second round of the tourna-
ment after the local squad has
become the winningest Othel-
lo Lttle League team in history
with a 3-2 victory over South
Highline of Seattle.
Showing scrapiness and
good hitting that had been
their trademark all through
the tournament trail, the
Othello Little Leaguers made
their final game closer than
the score indicated. Despite
loose defensive play which saw
them commit nine errors, the
Othello Stars trailed just 5-3
going into the last inning.
"Ran Out of Luck"
Coach Hump Prieur, who
had high praise for the play of
his squad for both their
district and state perform-
ances, said that after having
four "real good games",
Othello just seemed to run out
of luck against Redmond.
"Most of their hits were just
bloopers," Prieur said. "We
were hitting the ball well, but
right at people."
The coach also noted that
Redmond was playing their
first game of the tournament
with their No. 1 pitcher going
against Othello.
Prieur also had praise for
Othello's starter Scott Preun-
inger, credited with a strong
performance despite giving up
10 hits, walking five and
striking out five. For Red-
mond, winning pitcher Estes
allowed seven Othello hits,
struck,out nine and didn't walk

Othello 2nd Ward teams,
who could manage only second
place finishes in recent Stake
play, provided the surprise of
LDS Church slow pitch Zone
action here last weekend by
walking off with champion-
ships in both senior and junior
divisions.
On the basis of their
championships, the two teams
won their way into All-Church
Area play, which will get
underway next Wednesday in
Seattle.
Area teams completely
dominated the two ten-team
tournaments which featured
all of the top LDS church
teams from Central Washing-
ton. The tournaments were
held at Lions park, with action
getting underway Friday af-
ternoon and concluded late
Saturday afternoon.
Othello 2nd won the senior
division with Moses Lake 4th
in second place and Royal

division, it was Othello 2nd
taking first, Moses Lake 4th

tournament has been dom-
inated by younger players this
year, with David Huff, OHS
sophomore finishing third;
Rudy Ochoa, college student,
in fourth; and Steve Niblett
and Brad Adams, high school
students, tied for fifth.
Adams has advanced
through the winners' bracket
with decisions over Carol
Miller, Frank Mann and
Niblett and then downed Huff
in the showdown between the
only two unbeatens. Huff had
stopped Ron Hardt, Ochoa and
Brad Adams on his way to the
match with the defending
champ.
Vela lost his opening match
to Mann on a forfeit, but has
been unstoppable since. He
eliminated Miller, A1 Lewis,
Jim Taylor and Brad Adams
on the way back through the
losers' bracket. Last week he
posted a 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 decision
over Ochoa in his closest call to
date, and then dumped Huff
6-4, 6-4 to gain the finals
against Adams.
