A four run Wayne's fourth closed the margin to 8-4. Three hits, a couple of errors including RBI hits by Rick Wiegman and Pat Burke cut the Nail lead to four. In the fifth, an inning ending double-play after the Nail loaded the bases seemed to spark Wayne's in their half of the inning. Two Wayne's runners reached base with only one out bringing up the leading two batters in Wayne's lineup. However; a flyout and groundout to the mound ended the rally. An inning later Wayne's did score as Pat Burke socked a two run double. It was Burke's sixth hit on the night and narrowed the Rusty Nail's lead to only two runs. But Burke went no further as the top two men in the order popped out to shortstop Ray Thelen. A final Wayne's rally was choked off in the last inning. Tom Burke singled with only one out. Wayne Roewer belted a line shot to third baseman Rick Wakitsch who caught the ball and threw to first nabbing Burke and ending the contest. It was quite a finish and left the crowd stunned.

"We played well at times, but then we just seemed to slow down." said first year coach Kathy Bull. "If we could play at a certain in­ tensity that we had at times tonight, then I think we'll do fine. "There is a lot of room for improvement on this squad," she added. "We have a lot of good potential talent on the team, but this early in the season a lot of it is still pretty raw." Before the first ganje started, Johnsburg lost its backup setter Theresa Hauck when she twisted her ankle in practice. She is expected, however, to resume practice this week.. In other games on the evening, Johnsburgl's junior varsity also topped Grayslake 15-6, 15-13, and the freshmen also beat the Rams 11-7, 11-6.
