Caromount Players Win,
City Softball Championship
The Caromount Entry in the
City Soft Ball League came back
from a fourth place standing dur
ing the first half to win the sec
ond half championship and an op
portunity to play the Washerettes
—winners of the first half, for
the City Championship.
At the end of the regular sea
son the Rocky Mount Mill Team
and the Caromount team were
tied for lop place. The only loss
that either team had suffered dur
ing the second half was Caro
mount one to Rocky Mount Mill
and Rocky Mount Mill one to
Caromount.
To break the tie and end the
aignment, a three game play-off
wa' set up. This led to a pitching
duel between Caromount’s Robin-
S(m and Rocky Mount Mill’s Co-
ley. Racing against the evenings’
darkness each pitcher did an out
standing job of whizzing “the old
pellet” and probably deserve in
dividual team honors.
fn the first game of the play-off
Caromount took the lead and de
feated the Rocky Mount Mill’s
team by the score 2-0. Rocky
.Mount Mills and C«Iey came hack
in ihe next game and blanked
Caromount to the tune of 4-0.
