Playoffs Continue Today With Independent Games
The first round of the intramural softball playoffs ended Tuesday with the Sigma Chi's, Sig Ep's, Phi Gam's, and the Sig Alph's emerging victorious in the fraternity "A" league.
This afternoon—if the diamonds are dry—the independent "A" league gets into swing with most of the teams playing. The Jim Beam's, who played Tuesday, have been beheaded Tuesday and topped the Squirrels. Also the fraternity "B" and the independent "B" will get under way this afternoon.
The Sigma Chi's found their hitting power Tuesday afternoon and this, coupled with the superb pitching of Odd Williams, proved enough to down the Beta's 8 to 3. The first inning proved the big one for the Sigma Chi's when they obtained four off pitcher Al Lowrie.
The big blow as a home run by first baseman Cliff McDonald with two men on and one out. Immediately after McDonald swept the bases, hurler Odd Williams clouted a four bagger to give the Sigma Chi's a 4 to 1 lead at the end of the first. The Beta's were never able to overcome the gap.
The Sig Ep's blasted the DU's 12 to 1 Tuesday behind the one-hit pitching of Fletcher Bell. Bell had complete control of the situation during the entire game and was never in serious trouble. Bell helped win his own game when he homered in the fourth inning with two men on. Lee Garch clusted a circuit blow in the third for the Sig Ep's to start the scoring.
Pitcher Shelby Smith of the Phi Gam's twirled a four hitter to come out ahead of the Alpha Kappa Psi aggregation 6 to 0. Duke Mallon homered for the winners in the sixth and Smith contributed his share with a four bagger in the fifth.
After getting off to a shaky start, ritcher Claude Houchin settled down and hurried the Sig Alph's to a 19 to 9 victory over Triangle. In the initial
frame Bill Funkhouser and Bob Godfrey blasted Houchin for home runs and Larry Hyde got a triple. After this however the Triangle had trouble connecting with Houchin's offerings.
For the winners Houchin and Charley Apt got homers in the third and Bob Thompson connected with one in the fifth. The game was called at the end of the fifth when the S.A.E. nine obtained a 10 run lead.
In Tuesday's games the Sig Ep's and the Sigma Chi's looked especially impressive. Both of these teams have superb pitchers and good hitting. However the Sig Ep's may meet a stumbling block Thursday when they tangle with the Sigma Nu's in a game that will decide that division championship.
Eight teams still remain in the fraternity "A' league playoffs. They are: the Sig Ep's, the Sigma Nu's, the Sigma Chi's, the Phi Gam's, the A.T.O.'s, the Phi Psi's, the Sig Alph's, and the Phi Kap's.
