The Wildcats let the rest of the Big
Six National Softball League know
that they were the “real champions”
of the season by defeating the all-
star delegation by a score of 8 to 9
only after an extra inning had been
played. The all-star team was made
up of the star players from the other
five teams as chosen by the captains
of said teams. After getting off to a
poor start the stars overtook the

champs in their half of the inning|_

when Barker scored tying run send-
ing the game into the eighth and ex-
tra inning of the game.

The champions had their first bats
and they really took advantage of it
by doing everything possible to the
opponent’s pitcher. Barnes, the lead
off man, took first base on a clean
hit. Keeler flied out, bringing up
Pitts, who got on first by an error.
Caldren followed Pitts to get on by
an error, and scoring Barnes.

Emch, former Emporia Teachers
ball player, got a hit to score Pitts;
Lawrence took a walk. to first on
balls; Nesmith and Ash followed
Lawrence, only to fly out to retire
the sides, with two runs, two hits
and-two errors, and three men left
on base.
