B-Team Quest Finds Deadend
Kansas City Post 199, the underdog, stunned Ottawa Post 199 with a 1-0 and 2-1 sweep to win the District I championship at Liondotte Field. Pitcher Jim Bennett, named tourney MVP, outdueled Rod Schaub as KC 199 limited Ottawa to nine hits over 19 1/3 innings, aided by timely walks and stellar defense. Ottawa had defeated KC 199 earlier in the season and lost 12-6 to KC 399 before rallying late Saturday. KC 199 sealed the title with Keith Mark’s ninth-inning run after Bennett compounded efficient pitching with run-scoring support. Ottawa finished 18-9 on the year.
