Place's Dramatic Home Run Stirs Country Inn to Series Clincher
Place hits a decisive inside the park homer in the 12th inning as Country Inn beats Salvadore's Grove 6-5 in a dramatic City Softball League semi final. Victory pitched 12 innings before Place and Reitz drove in the winning runs, sending Country Inn to a best of five final versus Ballantine Beer after Salvadore's had threatened late. Corbett narrowly missed an earlier homer, and Donahue's defensive one handed catch wowed the crowd as Ray Drake silenced Salvadore's through 12.
