The 1994 recap highlights Ottawa's summer youth baseball and softball moments as chosen by Herald writer Robert Curley. The year is remembered as one of the most notable seasons with standout W results and a top 10 list beginning with number one.
Ottawa's 12-year-old all stars and the American Legion AA squad both claimed state championships, the first Ottawa teams to do so. The 12-year-olds rebounded from a July 22 district loss to DeSoto to win six straight, then swept Olathe in two games, 5-1 and 12-4, before exiting regionals in Pueblo. The Legion AA title came at home, with Ottawa racking 41 hits in four playoff games and beating Baxter Springs 12-1 on August 7, as seven unearned runs in the second inning highlighted their final.
Brandy Shoemaker of the Ottawa Recreation Commission major girls softball league Royals hurled against the Yankees in a late June game. Her mound heroics earned Shoemaker two spots on the Herald top 10 list, while her team finished 11-1 and near the season perfect. The Royals stood closest among ORC leagues to a perfect bid.
