Wild Finish in SECAL Title Race Sparks Six-Game Drama
The 1971 SECAL baseball season ends with Athens visiting Ironton for the title playoff between division winners. Athens topped Logan 8-0 to win the Northern Division, while Ironton beat Gallipolis 10-3 and Jackson 7-3 to secure the Southern Division. Previous playoffs included 1953, 1959, 1963, 1965. Neutral sites used. Logan Athens game delayed for field readiness, then moved to Trautwein Field at OU. Logan Athens drew the best attendance of the year for Athens games. Friday's Lancaster Class AAA track meet at Fulton Field noted district realignments, and Gene Cole's 440 and 220 records from 1948 have stood, though the 440 record vanished under the new setup. Jeff Cole-Gene's son set a 19.7 in the 180-yard low hurdles, a mark still on the books.
