STAFF PHOTO - WAYNE GAYLORD Girls Double Up Foes The doubles teams stole the spotlight for McHenry's badminton team this week, helping the Warriors con tinue their success on the season. All three Warrior doubles teams came through with victories as McHenry edged Waukegan West 4-3.

McHenry will play in the C o n a n t I n v i t a t i o n a l Saturday before traveling to St. Charles for a dual match on Monday. The Warriors are 7-3 on the season. Softball Team Sweeps McHenry's girls' Softball team took last Thursday's choking 14-13 loss to Crown pretty hard - but bounced back to sweep Crystal Lake Central 9-6 and 16-2. in a Saturday doubleheader The Warriors then posted an extra-inning, 8-5 victory over powerful Antioch. The Lady Warrior offense belled out 27 hits in the twin win over Central Pitcher Sue Haddick limited the Tigers to only eight hits while striking out 13 batters and walking eight. In game one, sophomore third baseman Robin Geiger belted out four base hits, scored twice and drove in a pair of runs. The other sophomore in the infield, shortstop Karen Kar- pavicius, pounded out a triple, double and single with four RBIs Joan SjeLmack added a pair of singles whilfc Sue Dixon reached base five times and scored three runs. McHenry led by as much as 9-1 however a four-run Tiger fifth narrowed the gap Warrior defense was shaky, committing nine errors Three of those errors helped Crystal Lake score an unearned run in the sixth. Central threatened to tack on more runs, however Haddick struck out Sue Tacke with two runners on base. Game two was a different story, as McHenry com­ mitted only two errors while getting 15 hits in an over­ whelming 16-2 victory. The game was called after five innings due to the 10-run "slaughter"' rule. Karpavicius went three for three with a two-run homer, three RBIs and three runs scored to pace the victory. Junior first baseman Donna Chesler also homered, with a triple and a single in 3 three- at-bats. driving in two runs Haddick added a bases- loaded triple and two singles, while leadoff batter Kathy Bitterman went two for two, walked twice and scored two runs. In fact, eight of the nine Lady Warriors had at least one hit. The game was never close, as McHenry scored seven runs in the first and six in the second to put things out of reach for the Tigers McHenry defeated Antioch on Monday in a non- conference game The Lady Sequoits are undefeated in the Northwest Suburban and head coach Mary Osterman was definitely pleased to win the extra-inning game. The Warriors overcame Antioch's three-run second as they scored four runs and took the lead Four bases on balls, an error and singles by Haddick and Pam West put the runs on the scoreboard in the third inning. Antioch tied the game in the bottom half of the third as Jody Ogden slammed a leadoff home run on Haddick fastball In the fifth, Antioch retook the lead as a walk, stolen bases and passed ball gave the Sequoits a 5-4 lead Kerry Kraus led off the Warrior fifth with a base on balls, moved to third on successive base hits by Bitterman and Geiger and scored on an infield error. Haddick stiffened in the sixth and seventh innings as Antioch went three up, three down The Lady Warriors threatened in their half of the seventh when Chesler and Bitterman both singled. But they had to wait until the eighth to put across the winning runs. Sue Dixon led off with a single, moved to second on an infield error, to third on a walk to Joan Stelmack and scored the winning run when Pam West hit a fielder's choice Stelmack scored on Chesler's double off the glove of the right fielder while West came in on a passed ball for icing on the cake -- A two-out single was all Antioch could muster in their half of the eighth as McHenry registered its eighth victory in 12 starts.

McHenry 'Nine' Bows, 9-3 Scorecard BY JEFF STERN Give Barb Michel a choice between umpiring a Softball game or cooking dinner, and she'll ump "But I'm good at both." she says with a smile. Barb will probably do a great deal of umpiring this year She has been ap­ pointed to the position of McHenry County's district commissioner for the A m a t e u r S o f t b a l l Association of America, and she has a big job ahead of her. Her job entails recruiting, testing and training um­ pires, organizing play for youth, men's and women's softball; and generally overseeing activity in the county's many leagues. It is a lot of responsibility, but Barb is looking forward to it. "I have my work cut out for me," she admits, "but if everything works out it will be worth it." Her aims are few but they are not pushovers. She listed six goals for the upcoming season: Organize teams for championship play. Each league champ earns a chance to play in the ASA metro tourney in Chicago. Few McHenry teams take advantage of this op­ portunity. "Teams need a direction." Barb says. "Right now they have none." Find and train competent umpires. All umpires this year MUST be certified ASA umps and must adhere to the dress code and mechanics set down by the association. "This is an absolute must," said Barb Improve co-ordination between herself and park and recreation departments. "The park people should get involved They are paid through the tax dollar and ihe players are taxpayers," she explained. Form a grievance com­ mittee. "The committee will give coaches a chance to ask a certain umpire why he called a play the way he did. It will improve relations all around " Improve conditions of McHenry's softball fields. "There are no fences in front of the benches The players are unprotected Also, the fields should be worked on to improve play." Barb said volunteers - not just players and umpires - are needed to - accomplish this goal Have McHenry host an ASA metro tournament. This one will be put on the back burner until a city field - probably the unfinished diamond on Green St. - mteets the ASA's stringent regulations. The prestige would be a feather in the city's cap. and the revenue wouldn't hurt either Barb feels she needs at least 30 umpires this season. She said the umpires should have a basic knowledge of softball and its rules, and must meet other criteria. That includes passing the 91- question test. "It's a true or false test and you have to get 80 percent to pass I haven't had anyone flunk so far. but it's not easy." Barb noted There are registration fees for umpires, but umps aged 18 and under receive a discount Barb stressed the importance of finding young umpires "It really helps to train them when they're young Then they have the experience when it comes time to advance to higher levels of softball " Umpires and coaches alike should attend a meeting set for 6:30 p.m Saturday. May 9. The meeting will be held at the Woodstock Parks Department building on South Street Barb will be on hand to set up clinics, an­ swer questions and discuss tournament assignments. Anyone who has a question prior !o the meeting can reach Barb at 344-5543. "The talent required to go to a regional tournament <the stop after the metro) is here." Barb said "I'd like to see it happen " Barb needs the help of park directors, players, coaches and umpires if she is to succeed But the gal who has worked major league exhibition games in Yuma, Arizona thinks it can be done. "If everyone pitches in and co-operates, we'll really have something to be proud of." Fox Trot Set Chris Creutz of McHenry will have a chance to defend his Valley Fox Trot title Monday, May 25 when the fourth annual race is held in Elgin. The 10-mile run will begin at 8 a.m. and will feature over 1,000 runners com­ peting in groups divided by age and sex Age divisions are under 14 years (which Creutz won in 1980), 14-18, 19- 22. 23-29. 40-49, 50-59 and 60 and over.

A results booklet will be sent to each finisher. For more information on registration and the race itself, call 695-6500, extension 211.

He watched his team lose Monday's Fox Valley Conference game to Jacobs by a 9-3 score, but the result was not totally sur­ prising. "We didn't play well. We had a lot of mental errors again." said Wilson. "I could see it coming." The Warriors erased a 2-0 Jacobs lead with a three-run uprising in the second. Jeff McNish singled but twas wiped out on a fielder's choice. John Doessel and Fritz Larsen singled to score one run-, Scott Dillon drove in a run with his perfect squeeze bunt and Rob Kalck's double scored another run. Wilson began seeing the negative signals in the third inning, when the visiting Golden Eagles wiped out McHenry's hard-earned lead. "When they scored twice in the third, we lost a lot of spirit." Wilson related. Jacobs went on to score two more runs in the third and three in the sixth in coasting to the win. The Eagles knicked all three Warrior pitchers - McNish, Dan Long and Bob Bryniarski - for at least two runs each. The Warriors showed signs of life in the fifth, when they put runners on second and third with no one out, but the big hit never came. "I guess I'm used to that happening." Wilson sighed "It's happened quite a bit this year " N The defeat was especially tough to take because the Warriors had played so well just two days earlier McHenry split a twinbill on Saturday and had played extremely sharp baseball. "Yeah, that's kind of depressing." Wilson allowed "It's got me on ends I don't know why we look so good one day and then play so poorly two days later." McHenry got six hits in all, including Kalck's double and another by Dave Smith. But all the hitting was confined to two innings and few were in the clutch Tuesday's rainout may be & blessing in disguise The Warriors will try to get back on track when they travel to Jacobs on Friday before hosting Crystal Lake South Monday Both games begin at 4:30 p.m McHenry's sophomore team split a doubleheader with Crystal Lake Central last Saturday, winning the opener 7-6 But the Warriors were held to only three hits and committed nine errors in the nightcap in losing. 7-3.

The reason for McHenry's success thus far is simple: the team has put it all together Pitcher Cissy Pinkstaff has a 7-0 record and freshman Marlene Krueger is 3-1 They have been backed by superb defense throughout the season. Wirtz terms the infield consisting of Pinkstaff, Joyce Jaskowiak, Lee Tomlinson, Wendy Thurlwell and Jody Werhane "one of the best in the conference " « McHenry has a strong bench Julie Hetterman, Terry Rossetti, Sherry Sheehan and Gina Bennett are ready at a moment's notice. And the hitting has been superb Andee Norton leads the team with a 594 mark, including nine hits for extra bases. Other leading hitters are Ellie Westman, .583; Robin Loss, 538; and Jaskowiak and Goebel at .500. Six other players are hitting 400 or better and seven others boast averages of .300 or better Warrior Thinclads Win Again Coach Dan Boland's track team ran their dual record to 10-0 for the season with a double victory over Crown On The Sideline With Dick Rabbitt St. Charles again proved to be the class of the McHenry Relays, held last Friday night at McCracken field. No new records were set, but the 440 relay mark was tied, on a cool, cool evening. As Don Whattles would say, "The track was slow." The Warriors finished fifth, missing fourth place by a single point. Again coach Dan Boland, athletic director Bill Blankenhorn and the clerk of the course. Gary Collins, ran a well organized meet. It was over ahead of time, much to the gratitude of everyone because of the weather. Bill Day did an outstanding job at the mike to keep everyone informed of not only the results, but getting the events started on time. All the coaches were pleased with the running of the meet, and most of them hoped to be asked back next year. Had a nice chat with an old friend Jim Shipley, athletic director at Woodstock high school. Naturally the conversation turned to the status of athletics at the Woodstock school. A bond referendum was defeated very badly several weeks ago, and the word or rumor going around is that the Blue Streaks will be going the way of the Rockford schools several years ago, with no athletics in the school. Shipley has assured me that the Woodstock school will not drop their athletic program. He said, "We are going to have athletics. Maybe not a full program, but we will have varsity sports, ana some otner levels. He said at this time he could not tell what sports would be kept or drooped. He did, however, say "We are going to charge a small fee for each individual participating in athletics to help with the cost of the programs." For those of you not familiar with the situation, Woodstock went on record to say that if the referendum was defeated, there would be no athletics in the 1982-83 school year. The likeable Jim has already contacted the Joliet schools, which have a similiar problem, has talked with Rockford officials, and is exploring every avenue to prevent such an occurrence from happening at Woodstock. His sincere determination convinced me that he will come up with some kind of a solution to the problem, and we hope he succeeds. It wouldn't be a Warrior season if Woodstock were not on the schedule. Don Sea ton's girls track team will journey to Crown for the Fox Valley conference meet on Saturday. With a large group of underclassmen on his squad, the veteran coach is looking to the future, but you can bet the girls will give a good account of themselves on Saturday. If Gary Gray can get the water off the courts he may have a match some time this week. They play host to Jacobs tomorrow, and on Monday travel to North Chicago. Mary Osterman's softball team is in the thick of the Fox Valley race. They handed Cary Grove its only defeat of the season last week in a doubleheader split. Brian Wilson's baseball team is still struggling. Maybe one of these days they will put it all together. and Jacobs Monda> at ('rown They defeated Crown 78-68 and Jacobs 88-57 Against Jacobs. the Warriors won 1) first place finishes, and against Crown picked up to first place events.
