Seattle Pay n' Pak went home
after two games. Petschrs packed
after three. Gale McGrath and his
Olympia teammates made a quick
exit also. They went home after
three.
That was the caliber of
softball displayed at last
weekend's Shelton Invitational at
Callanan Park.
Manke and Sons, a
locally-sponsored, Tacoma-based
club, methodically marched
through five straight games to
wrap up the '75 title. The club
made it apparent why it was the
1974 Northwest entry in national
competition.
The Lowell Nelson-led club,
almost ignored as a pre-tourney
power, quietly chopped them all
down. The finale was a 7-2,
seven-inning job over the
tourney's Cinderella team, Jess'
OK of Shelton.
The Met ballplayers came
away from this tournament with
heads held high. They should
have. Their pre-tourney chances
of getting to Sunday's
championship game were about as
good as Euell Gibbons giving up
on wheat.
The drama began to unfold
Sunday morning at 10 a.m. With a
2-1 record going into the 10 a.m.
C. B. Hawks hassle, one more loss
would have eliminated Chink
Hawley's club.
Bill Nutt, as he always seems
to do, was there to meet the
challenge. The spot-pitching
righthander shut down the Hawks
two-zip on a two-hit gem.
Bob Miller, the stump-armed
shortstop, continued his assault
on his pet peeve: pitchers. He
ripped his second shot of the
three-day show somewhere into
the trees in right center to lead
off the seventh.
Scott Swisher singled up the
middle and came home on Jon
Armstrong's two-out double
down the left field line to give
Nutt his third win of the tourney.
Then came the 1:30 p.m.
shoot-out with Peterbilt. Nutt, in
relief of Dean Johnson, nursed a
5-4 lead going to the top of the
seventh. Peterbilt came up with
two to take a 6-5 lead. With one
gone in the bottom of the
seventh, Rob Mills singled to left
center.
Then the respect for Miller's
bat was never more evident. An
age-old theory of baseball is to
never walk the tying run into
scoring position. Worse yet, don't
put the winning run on base.
Peterbilt violated both rules
and got burned for it. They
intentionally walked Miller,
moving Mills to second. Scott
Swisher didn't waste any time. He
ripped reliever Bob Ryan's first
pitch off his glove to score Mills.
Ryan then uncorked a wild
pitch, scoring Miller from third.
Word was out that the Mets
were back in the thick of things.
That, along with a seldom-seen
Shelton sunshine, brought out a
capacity throng for a 4 p.m.
battle with Twin Cities, the
winner getting a shot at the
championship game with Manke
and Sons.
Again Nutt came on in relief,
this time for Jerry Dresher. The
38-year-old veteran, as always,
picked the plate apart.
Noticeably tiring, Nutt, his
teammates and an estimated
1,000 fans watched Miller give it
the "Cadillac trot" around the
bases three more times. He hit
Callanan's "outer-outer" gardens
everywhere and at every distance

with his fifth home run of the
tourney.
N utt and Dresher checked
Twin Cities on four hits,
preserving a 9-2 win.
Then came the inevitable - a
7 p.m. shot at a well-disciplined
and talented Manke and Sons ball
club. This was the best club in the
tournament. The Jess Phillips-Pete
Krueger sponsored Mets saw its
miraculous comeback shelved for
another year.
Nutt (of course) relieved Dean
Johnson in the first. After Ken
Bauer's two-out "double, brother
Miffs, ripping a one-out double
and scoring on two infield
put-outs.
Manke's added one in the
second, two in the fifth, one in
the sixth and one in the seventh
to hand a struggling Nutt his first
loss of the tourney.
Miller appropriately capped
the game's scoring with his sixth
homer, an off-field solo shot off
Manke's Chico Thayer. Little
wonder he was the tourney's
