West Frankfort Wins Coal Belt Title in 17-Inning Thriller
West Frankfort defeated Herrin 8 to 7 after 17 innings in the Coal Belt League championship. George Hopkins delivered a clutch base hit in the bottom of the 17th, securing the title despite shaky defense from both teams. Manager Doug Dorris called the contest one of the most exciting he has seen. Herrin threatened in the 17th when Jerry Halstead rounded to score, but a relay to short and a plate block at the plate thwarted the run.

Ken Oberkfell drew a third walk to load the bases and Keith Hernandez walked, but Dodgers relief held.
