Barstow Broadens First Place Lead as Field Repairs Begin
Softball in Pecos paused this week as workers tore up the field to lay a sewer line for the new elementary school. Cecil Lee, president of the league, said play would resume Monday if the diamond remains in good condition. The Barstow versus Christian Church game, rained out twice, will open the resumed schedule with Pasotex and Christians Tuesday, Mentone and Baptists Thursday, Barstow and Oilers Friday, and three postponed games likely on successive Mondays. The league aims to avoid Wednesday games to respect church commitments.
