Baseball and softball notes from the league chaos
A letter from Harry Witt of 13th Hour urges six inning softball games to avoid darkness and promotes a six inning bat club. The 13th Hour club drops two of its first three games after leading to two outs in the seventh, with late home runs altering outcomes. Howard Berg of Wichotas, in the Minor League, is credited with a win after a seven run rally as his team gave up 10 runs in one frame. North Ends and Wichotas split 14 13 as Berg moved positions in the fourth, then returned to pitch. Five extra inning games already, Dunphy North Ends 10 innings the longest. Mayme's Colts crushed Rede mans 28 0. Russ Meier has balky umpiring duties in two Sportsman league games. St Peter's and Feldas tied 16 16 in week one. Wichotas beat North Ends 14 13 in week two. Fifty seven runs in two games stress hitters and umpires. Are you in the pink Russ. Famous last words about playing deep and not letting a ball go over heads.
