Troops pitched tents fared poorly as water rose knee deep, delaying checkouts and forcing the cancellation of Sunday’s scout carnival. The damp assistant scout leader faced accusations of violating safety rules by swimming alone.
Western Springs won the first round by edging a strong Gizmas 7 to 6. Wayne Kennedy homered, with Lahvic and Hayes each collecting 3 hits. The Gizmas bowed in the decisive game as Western Springs seized a narrow early lead and pulled away before the seventh inning.
