The Shelton Merchants, off to
a blazing 7-0 win-loss record,
appear to be headed for their first
City League softball crown.
Manager Bob Ashley's club,
blessed with good pitching and
outstanding team power, will be
hard to catch through the
remaining nine league games as it
holds a commanding two-game
lead over Manke and Sons.
Sunday night the Merchants
power-laden club recorded two
more league wins and matched
that with a convincing win
Monday night of an 1 1-4
conquest of Dick Laney's
Hoodsport entry.
in Monday night's encounter,
the Merchants went to work
early. After Laney retired the first
two hitters in the Merchant first,
Phil Adams singled to left. Jim
Johansen promptly scored Adams
with a two-out double to right
center. Norm Anglin singled to
center to open the second and
after Ed Adams popped out, Gene
Benedict stung one to left,
moving Anglin to second.
They both scored on Tom
Martin's booming double down
the left field line. Ray Krumpols
capped the inning with a double
off the boards in left center,
scoring Martin. The Merchants
put it away in the third. Johansen
singled to left as did Ed Adams.
They both moved up a base on
Anglin's shot up the middle. Jim
Corey ripped a double to left
center scoring Johansen and
Adams, with Anglin moving to
third on the play. Gene Benedict
then hit a bouncer to second,
scoring Anglin. The Merchants
added one more in the fourth and
one in the sixth to record their
seventh straight City League
victory.
Jim Johns, Hoodsport's young
first baseman, ripped Martin and
Lloyd Murr for three straight hits,
Tireless Bill Nutt pitched in
four games last weekend in an
invitational fastpitch tournament
in Olympia as his Jess' team split
the four contests to finish out of
the running for a place.
Friday night Nutt went 11
innings before his Mets beat the
Twin Cities Tavern of Longview
2-1. In Jess' first game on
Saturday, Petschel's Meats of
Seattle (1973 Northwest champs)
stopped the Mets 2-0. Nutt
pitched the loss and his
teammates came up with only one
hit.
Nutt returned to the mound
later in the day and hurled a 4-2
win over Westgate Builders of
Seattle. In Saturday's final game,
the Mets lost to Brusco's of
Longview, 6-0. Tom Fredson
started at pitcher, left the game
with the score 0-0 and was
relieved by Nutt.
Jess'. a Puget Sound League
division leader, split a pair of
league games with the Lacey team
in Lacey last Thursday evening.
Nutt pitched the opener, which
the Mets won 7-6 and Fredson
pitched the second game, an 8-4
loss.
Jess' has home doubleheaders
against the Olympia Senators on
July 9 and Shelton's OK Roofers
on July 11. They start at 7:30
p.m.
The team currently has a
20-14 win-loss record and is 9-3 in
Puget Sound League play. Nutt,
Jess' workhorse on the mound, is
12-10.
