Dodgers Tie Reds for Second Spot
Long Beach Whitehawks win their Inter- National Softball League world title in a grueling run through the losers bracket. Manager Joe Rodgers, exhausted after a ten day tour, recounts a triumph built on late flurries, clutch pitching by Randall Zimmerman and Goyette, and a championship clinched with a six run first inning against Geneseo before suffering through a rain delay. Rodgers hints at defending the title next year and notes ISL interest in Long Beach as a 1957 tournament site.
