Two-Part Program Opens This Weekend For Ottawa Legion Baseball
Ottawa American Legion baseball expands to two teams under new sponsorship with Coach Cearfoss and Loren Shoffner guiding about 30 boys. The A team and the new B team will play 50 plus games, including District II tournaments in Ottawa. Opening game for the A team is Saturday at Orlis Cox Field against the Olathe Rebels, with pitching as the main question mark but a strong middle infield and notable hitters like Dan Harkins and Gary Davenport. The B team shows promise in infield defense and speed, with a schedule starting Sunday at Overbrook and continuing through July, as both teams head toward district play and a June 30 certification deadline.
