RUN
LADIES
RUN!
by Brian Dorsey
Let's hope they don't fail down or sit
down. That's why the coach is running
them. I can smell victory in the air as we
approach the fall season. There were many
bumps, bruises and injuries. But that's not
stopping them. Torry Dancy is taking care
of the outfield and I'm making sure
everything's in line. They're still running
and running. Coach Gotten will surely
mold these ladies into fast-pitch softball
players by spring. We've got plenty of
games this fall. We have far more than
last year. How will the ladies fair? We'll
just have to wait and see. With superb skill
of Heather Bedsworth and Melanie
Bellemare on the mound, there will be
plenty of strike outs this year. Shannon
Bums last year had a batting average over
.400 this year I can't wait to see. Behind
the plate we have Keisha Hubbard, Vivian
Dunn and Crystal Cuthbertson, so we are
set back there. This year we have some
real power hitters to keep us alive. So stay
tuned this year. The Lady Canes of fast-
pitch softball are off and running. There's
no telling where they will stop of how far
they will go. Hey, Kim Krause, what do
you think?

Wrighteous Ones Manager
Smooth, prominent, talkative manager
"Doc" Taylor has finally put together the
"perfect" squad. They are the Wrighteous
Ones. With no knowledge of the players'
athletic background, "Doc" put together a
lineup to defeat the Hillman Homers for
their fust victory. If that wasn't enough,
"Doc" made some changes in the lineup to
defeat Patten's Grand Slam to get a second
victory. Homeruns were hit consistently
the first two games. They were hit by Jer
emy "Slam One” Sales and Doc "Perfect
Power" Taylor and also IVrone "Power
house" Riddick. These three guys put
something on the ball. The Wrighteous
Ones then met defeat whey they came up
against Wrighteous One's nightmare team,
The Ten Commandments. Doc has always
had problems with the Ten Commandments
since last year. Why? He couldn't put to
gether a lineup strong enough to defeat
them. The Wrighteous Ones went on to
defeat Easy Out and the Flying Love Squir
rels in the absence of their manager. Doc.
On Tuesday, September 19, Doc Taylor,
along with his loud, outrageous mouth and
expertise put together the lineup that
knocked the Ten Commandments flat on
their back. "This game everybody came
to play ball," Coach Doc said. The boys
kept the lead every inning. Top prospects
were Jeremy Sales who leads the league in
homeruns. Doc Taylor who is second in
homeruns, and outstanding perfonnances
by Derrick Hopkins, Tyrone Riddick, John
Freim, Todd Queen and the whole outfield.
Doc has finally foimd the team that makes
the Ten Commandments the book of lies!
Doc is now looking to start a new softball
team in the spring. It will be called "The
Perfect Ten." Uniforms will be ordered no
later than December 1. 1995.
