Root Fires No Hitter as Welty Way Leads Major Open
Ace right-hander Dale Root threw his first no hitter of the year with 13 strikeouts and one walk as Welty Way climbed to the Major Open softball lead at Ellis Park, 9-0 over Carpet Line. Root aided by 10-hit support and two of his own, while Carpet Line committed six errors in the loss. Ed White, Ron Findley, Ray Sturm, and Gary Morrow opened the scoring with four first-inning runs. White added a second hit and Morrow followed with a second single, then Root's hit, two errors, and a sacrifice produced two more in the second. A sequence of singles by Root, Ed Williams, and John Muench plus aggressive baserunning produced two more in the sixth. Bob Clark and Tom Gaddie were the only baserunners against Root all game.
