SWING AND A MISS—A Squadron 11 softball player takes
a healthy cut at the ball—but misses—during one of yes
terday’s intramural diamond headliners.
By JOE DAN BOYD
C-AAA softballers held their
unbeaten record intact yesterday,
handing A-Composite its first loss
of the season, 2-1. Dick McGown
broke through a deadlock, homer
ing in the final inning of the cru
cial upperclassman game which
handed C-AAA their second lea
gue crown in as many years.
Bobby Woodward scored first for
the AAA team in the opening mo
ments, and Jim Blackstone made
the circuit for A-Composite in the
third. Pitcher Bruce Terry exhibi
ted the superb form which took
the AAA softballers into last
year’s final competition.
Yesterday’s victory places C-
AAA in the favored position for
this year’s Corps champions since
defending champion Sqd. 2 has a
half game deficit on its record.
Chances are * that these same
teams, which met in last year’s
big tilt, will again battle for the
Class A title.
B-AAA trounced A-Signal 17-9
in another softball feature giving
the AAA’ers a 3-2 season record.
Left fielder Tommy Sudderth was
leading slugger for the winners
with three trips around the dia
mond. It was the fourth consecu- j artillerymen. Jim Boyer, Jim Ter-
