Tiremen Fall Short Twice In Liberty and Texas City Tourneys
General Tire softball team failed to secure a double victory winning at Liberty 7-1 but losing 4-2 to Bostick's Cafe of Lamarque in the Texas City state TAAF tournament. Delays, missing players, and a late arrival hampered their start as manager Hoot Hamilton scrambled a makeshift lineup. Tucker pitched well after a late-arriving squad formed, but early misfortune sealed their defeat before a hoped Liberty title game.
