Shamrocks Take Lead
In The Softball League
The three-way tie for first place
in the indoor softball league was
broken last Friday evening as the
High School Nanooks lost to the
highly improved Air Force Jets
12 to 8 in the first game, and the
ACS Shamrocks stung the Polar
Hornets 16 to 12 in the night cap.
The Jets blasted oft to an early
lead and held it all the way as
Pitman and Louis went the route
for the winners. Corky Kost and
Don Miller formed the Nanook
battery.
The Shamrock - Hornet game
was a battle royal that was tied
twice and went into extra in
nings. Frank Debusk pitched for
the Hornets and Arne Castell was
catcher. Debusk showed plenty of
speed and hurled a good game
until the top of the final inning
when the big green bats of the
Shamrocks exploded for six runs.
The Arctic Flash, Norm Atuk,
displayed his usual cool control
for the ACS and Maj. Siegwart
switched from first base to the
catcher’s slot.
The next action is slated for
Friday evening, April 20, when
the Hornets meet the Jets in the
first game and the Shamrocks
tangle with the Nanooks in the
night-cap.
Here are the standings to date:
Won Lost
ACS Shamrocks ,.3 1
Nanooks .2 2
. Polar Hornets .2 2
Air Force Jets .1 3
