•t PAGE 7 • PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 39.1M1 Fox Hole Wins 12" Championship CLUB CHAMPION - A happy look appears on the face of Rich Petersen as he chips onto the number three green. His one putt here brought him within ^stroke of the leader. Six holes later, Petersen parred the number nine to win the 38 hole club championship for the second time in as many years. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Petersen Wins At Pistakee A lost ball on fairway number three of Pistakee Country club will be long rememebered by Chuck Ovlehla of McHenry. He had just taken a three stroke advantage over Rich Petersen of Johnsburg after the first two holes of the final nine in the two-day club championship at Pistakee. After a five minute search for>the ball,-,the lead feU to one Stroke as Ovlehla had to card a six instead of a par four. Sunday's weather was not a golfer's dream as numerous golfers found their shots going astray in the high gusty winds. In Sun­ day's first of two rounds, Ovlehla shot a 38 to move into a tie with Petersen a 122 for 27 holes. Ken Jergensen of Grayslake was in third at 126. In the final round, pars on . one and two gave Ovlehla a quick three stroke ad­ vantage, only to find Petersen fighting back with a beautiful chip and one putt on number three to climb within one as Petersen had to settle for a two-stroke penalty because of the lost ball. Petersen then tied the match as he parred the 140 yard par three uphill fourth. The match remained tied until the sixth hole. Peter­ sen's iron shot with the wind behind him fell just short of the 190 yard hole, but his chip and one putt gave him the lead by a stroke. Meanwhile, JerggMen, with himself hack into the fight, just two strokes off the lead. All three settled for pars on the 244 yard seventh and another par for Jergensen on number eight found him in a tie for second, just one stroke behind Petersen. The final hole was a long 452 yards away, Jergensen's tee shot and second shot both ended in trouble spots. He failed to find the green until he chipped on in five, and his two putt cost him a seven for a 36 hole total of 167. Ovlehla had the longest drive off the number nine tee, only to watch the strong crosswind take his ball into the number eight fairway and end behind a clump of three small trees. Using a five iron, he played into the wind and the ball stopped 15 feet short of the green. Petersen put his third shot onto the green and a twoputt gave him a par and a 36 hole total of 164. Ovlehla, needing a birdie to win, chipped at the jpin and; his chances appeared slim as Jhe ball rolled 18 feet beyond the cup. His bird putt just missed and a par gave him a 165 for second place with a ball still lying somewhere in the third fairway. In the low gross club championship, it was the second win in a roll for Petersen. Class A, low net, Jergensen captured the trophy with a 143, while Dave Nank and Beer Johnson tied for second at 146. In Class B, low net, Bob Vomastek won with a 142 with Bill Coch shooting a 144 for second and Tom Nier- man carding a 154 for third. Wayne Gaylord It's all over! For the second season in a row the Fox Hole Tap emerged . victorius in McHenry's 12-Inch Championship series. They did so by defeating Wayne's 16-14 and 18-15 in extra innings. The Tap turned things around after a humiliating 19-run loss to Wayne's wrecking crew by tying the series with a 17-5 win in game two. After that the entire team rose to the occasion, overcoming Wayne's home run power, displayed great combined team offense plus a fine d e f e n s i v e d i s p l a y highlighted by Ron Miller's play at shortstop to sweep the series. The Fox Hole had 47 hits total in games three and four with each player in the lineup getting at least two hits for the evening. Rich Meyers had eight of those hits, giving him 15 for 20 in the series (.750). Vinnie Freund was another hero with seven hits and six RBIs giving him 12 for 16 in the series (.750). Defensively Ron & Twig Miller did a super job in cutting off anything Wayne's hit up the middle while Rich Meyers and Jim Yaworski added a couple of great running catches in the outfield to rob the "wrecking crew" of extra base hits. Wayne's took the early lead in Wednesday's first contest when Don Prazak led off with a first inning double and scored on Tom Burke's sacrifice fly. The Fox Hole struck back for nine runs in their half of the first. Jeff Meyers, Jim Yaworski and Rich Meyers, the first three batters in the Wottreng's Lead Team For the second time in two days, the Wottreng brothers led Marian Central's cross country team to victory.

Across From McHonry Stoto Sank 344-0170 Tap lineup, had two hits each as 14 men batted in the in­ ning. Yaworski had one RBI while Rich Meyers knocked in the first and last runs of the inning. In between Meyers' hits, Don Bentz clouted a two-run triple, Vinnie Freund tripled in another run and Bill Meyers' double scored a run. Twig Miller and Steve Dobner each singled in one run. After a three up, three down Wayne's second the the Fox Hole increased their lead to 11-1. Bill Meyers doubled in both runs in the bottom half of the inning. A questionable doubleplay killed an even bigger rally when Jeff Meyers flew out with bases loaded and Bill Meyers was ruled out for not tagging up at third. Tom Prudden made a nifty shoestring catch on the flyout. ^ Wayne's scored three in the third with Tom Burke hitting an RBI single and Wayne Roewer driving in two more with a base hit. After the Tap took ad­ vantage of a throwing error and an unearned run in the fourth the 'wrecking crew' stormed back with five runs in the fifth to narrow the gap to 12-9. Terry Hovseth drove in the first run and then Wayne Roewer stepped up to the plate with bases loaded and only one out. The Tap held a five man discussion on the mount deciding whether or not to walk Roewer. They decided to pitch to him, however Bill Meyers did not get the ball where he wanted it and Roewer lifted a long grand-_ slam homer out of the park in left field. Jim Gray, brought up from the Fox Hole farm club just before the series started, came through for the Tap in the fifth witha two-run triple. Gray, who had 10 hits in four games, scored on Bill Meyers' base hit. Twig Miller had the other RBI and the Fox Hole extended it's lead to 16-9. Wayne's scored four more runs in the sixth with Don Prazak's three-run blast and Tom Burke's RBI single. Both players had three hits along with Bob Buss' three for three as the threesome led Wayne's in game one. The Fox Hole was not finished sweating out their first game victory. Kevin Horner hit a leadoff homerun for Wayne's in the seventh to narrow the lead to two runs. But an infield popup and two flyouts left the Fox Hole up two games to one in the series. The Tap's Rich Meyers went five for five to lead all batters. Jeff Meyers, Jim Yaworksi, Bill Meyers and Vinnie Freund had three hits each. Wayne's 1 0 3 0 5 4 1 • 14 Fox Hole Tap 9 2 0 1 4 0 x • 16 The Fox Hole loaded the bases in the first inning of Wednesday's second contest but failed to score. They had done the same in their last inning at bat in game one while the Wayne's ball club was just warming up. The wrecking crew was hot as they scored first on Tom Burke's RBI double, a ball which took a nose dive in front of Jeff Meyers - "knuckling" all the way out. Wayne Roewer next slammed his second home run of the evening followed by Kevin Horner's back to back roundtripper. Wayne's led 4-0. But back came the Fox Hole. The Wayne's infield mishanded a few balls and the Tap batters were Quick to take advantage. The first run scored on one of three errors. Jim Yaworski doubled in 2 runs, Rich Meyers drove in another run with a single and Don Bentz had the big blow, a 3-run homer, to put Fox hole ahead 7-4. However Wayne's sent 11 batters to the plate and retook the lead, 11-7, in the bottom of the second. George Cadotte drove in the first run, Tom Prudden walked to force in another run and Tom Burke doubled in three runs. Wayne Roewer tripled in Burke and Kevin Horner singled in Roewer as Wayne's again led by four. Vinnie Freund's 2-run home run narrowed Wayne's lead to 11-9 in the third frame. Freund drove in 2 more runs an inning later to put the Fox Hole up 12-11. Jim Gray drove in a run in front of Freund's hit while Jim Yaworski doubled in Freund. But a great throw to the plate from Don Prazak to Wayne Roewer nailed Jeff Meyers to halt the Tap rally in the fourth. Pat Burke's long triple to lead off the Wayne's fifth started a rally which tied the score. Burke scored on George Cadotte's sacrifice while Bob Buss made it 13-13 with an RBI single. But Vinnie Freund socked his fourth straight hit of the contest, a run scoring double in the sixth, to put the Fox Hole back on top in the see­ saw struggle. Freund scored when Jeff Meyers hit a hard grounder to third which got past Bob Buss' glove. The Tap led 15-13 after 5"6 in­ nings. Pat Burke had another big hit for Wayne's in their half of the sixth when he doubled in his brother Tom. Kevin Horner also tried to score but Twig Miller took the throw from Jim Yaworski and relayed the ball to catcher Vinnie Freund to nab Horner in a close play at the plate. That play ended the inning and turned in*o a real game saver for i Fox Hole. Because after tue Tap went 3 up, 3 down in the seventh Wayne's came back to tie the contest and send the game into extra innings. A wide throw or a faster runner might have given Wayne's the victory and forced a fifth game but it wasn't to be. Rick Wiegman tripled to lead off the Wayne's seventh. Bob Buss hit a sacrifice fly to left to tie the score at 15. In the eighth Bill Meyers singled but was doubled up at second when he tried to get there on Jim Gray's fly out. Meyers beat the throw but lifted his foot off the base during the tag. But then disaster struck for Wayne's. Two ground balls in a row, one to third and the other to short, went for infield errors. Wayne's manager Ken Prazak acknowledged the fact that the absence of his starting shortstop Rich Kuchura was the difference in the close contests Although both balls were hard hit and not routine there was still a play that could have been made. Those plays were not made and the Tap's Ron Miller scored what turned out to be the game winner as Wayne's went down in order in the bottom of the eighth Don Bentz' leaping catch on Wayne Roewer's line smash was a fitting finale to a great evening of Softball. Vinnie Freund was the second game's leading hitter. Freund went four for four with five RBIs, while Jim Yaworski, Rich Meyers and Twig Miller all had three hits each for the Tap. Don Prazak, Kevin Horner and Rick Wiegman had three hits each for Wayne's.
