First Two Games Indoor I
Softball Played Friday
Last Friday at the High School i
gym softball fans witnessed the
two initial indoor games of the
spring season. In the first free
swinging and free-scoring game
of seven innings, the Bering Sea
Club edged out the Nome Mer
chants 37-36. From the scoring it
would appear that the basketball
season was still in progress. How
ever, by Friday the teams will
have settled down and good, fast
indoor softball will be displayed.
George Bell, George Kost, and
Clyde Nershak were pitchers for
the Merchants, and R. F. Brown
catcher.
For the Bering Sea Club, pitch
er, Bob Carpenter, and catcher,
Bob Emmons.
The scheduled second game
between the Air Force and the
Nome High School failed to mat- i
erialize, however, the High School
played a combined Merchants
Bering Sea Club team in a four
inning game. The combined team
won 10-9.
The high school had Tony Will
ova pitching and Junior Nershak
catching. For the combined team,
Clyde Nershak pitched and Bob
Emmons caught.
