Scramblers finis
By DAVID BULLA ?? ?;T--Chronicle
Spons Eanor ?
Donald Scales came out of coaching retirement to
guide the Winston-Salem gamblers to a secondplace
finish in the recent state Class C women's
softball tournament.
Scales, who coached the Winston-Salem Broncos
to several World Tournament appearances, was
taking the summer off when William Peterson, the
Scramblers' business manager, asked him to take
over the team.
'Things hadn't been going well and he asked me
to iron out some problems," Scales said. "1 didn't
think this team had the potential to go this far when
I first started." *HS
But Scales made some changes, including the
recruitment of some former Broncos to his team.
Moreover, he established a team unity that led to
the runner-up finish in the Amateur Softball
Association state tourney.
His key move was making catcher Nancy Rucker
the field leader.
"NIflnry has playprf snflhflll fnr H years," he
said. "So I knew she was the natural leader for the
team.
"She's the kind of player who thinks about softball
all rtie time. She was kind of a mother figure to,
the other ladies."
The Scramblers, who had received the state
tourney berth by finishing second in the districts,
jelled under Rucker's field leadership. They went
through the ASA tournament with an 8-2 record.
Rucker, shortstop Lenthia Tillman, pitcher
Delphine Williams and outfielder Roslyn "Rain"
Nowlin made the all-tournament team. Tillman was
the leading batter, going 14 for 17.
"We put it together late in the season," said
Scales, who was the softball coach at Mount Tabor
in 1983. "We played well on defense and hit the ball
well."
Scales, whose team won the Winston-Salem
Astro League, said he was using the strong showing
in the state tournament as a recruiting tool.
"I also want the Scramblers to play in more tournaments
next year," he said. "We played in four
this year and I wanted to see it up to 10 or 15.*'
The coach has his sichts on movinc the
Scramblers up to Class B or possibly even A. HeJias
already recruited Laura Smith, Tasha Brooks, Barbara
Carter, Sandra Jordan and Sandy Swain for
next reason; ?
For now Scales and his team are celebrating the
second-place trophy from the state tourney.
