McHenry Girls, Stranded As Zion Wins Opener 11-10 STEALING SECOND BASE -- for McHenry is junior Cissy Pinkstaff (far right) who pulls off the theft in the first inning against Zion-Benton as the throw gets to second base too late. Pinkstaff got no farther, however, as the Zee-Bee defense kept her from scoring and kept a total of nine Warrior baserunners stranded on base. McHenry dropped the season opener 11-10 at West Campus Thursday. STAFT PHOTO -- WAYNE GAYLORD McHenry Tops Streamwood In Opener STREAMWOOD -- There's nothing like a season-opening victory to help erase the memories of a disasterous season the year before McHenry's baseball team, 5-20 a year ago in Brian Wilson's debut as head coach, opened its season on a strong note Thursday by pounding out a 8-5 win over Streamwood While the Warriors were victimized by a weak hitting lineup and a pitching staff that issued more walks than it collected strike outs last year, Wilson got strong performances from both departments and an in­ dication of better things to come for this year. "It was important that we have a good game the first timeout," said Wilson. "The , pitching and the hitting were j Fboth reel well and that's very encouraging ; 4F "It's a good jump for us psychologically because the kids know they can score some runs," he added Nineteen players dressed for the game, and Wilson got 17 of them into the lineup before it was over And after the first two innings, it was. McHenry's offense ex­ ploded for two quick runs in the first inning, then followed that with a six-run outburst in the second frame to put the game away. Mike Bauml, the Warriors leadoff hitter, did what leadoff hitters are supposed to do: get on base. He singled to open the game, then'Tore Sivertsen delivered a tremendous home run to centerfield to give the Warriors a 2-0 lead After the Sabre batters failed to mount a threat against McHenry started Dave Smith in their half of the inning, the Warriors again went to work. Doug Mullen, a senior who hasn't played high school ball since his freshman year, singled to open the frame and to open the door for his teammates. Mike Dillon attempted to sacrifice Mullen to second base, but wound up with a bunt single instead. John Bazan followed with a walk to load the bases, then Dave Williams, the number nine hitter in the order, smacked a two-run single scoring Mullen and Dillon Back to the top of the order. Bauml and Sivertsen followed with their second straight hits of the game to drive home Bazan and Williams. Dave Smith and Tim Evans finished the onslaught with run-scoring singles themselves, as eight straight Warrior batters reached base safely. When the dust had cleared, McHenry led 8- 0. Streamwood didn't score until the bottom of the fourth frame when it finally tallied against McHenry starter Smith. The Sabres then added three more in the bottom of the sixth against a Warrior lineup that had only Bazan and Evans remaining from the starting nine, and added their final run in the bottom of the seventh. For the game, the Warriors banged out 13 hits compared to only four that the Sabres. "It was pretty gratifying," said Wilson. "Seven of our nine starters got hits, and our substitutes also hit the ball well." Smith led all batters with three hits in four trips to the plate, while Bauml, Sivert­ sen, Evans, and Williams followed with two hits each. < Evans also had an extra base hit with a double in the third inning. Smith worked five and two-thirds innings to record the win allowing only four hits, four runs of which one was earned, one walk, while striking out four. Evans relieved him in the sixth inning and turned in a credible bullpen job allowing no hits, an unearned run, and three walks, while striking out two. McHenry had a Saturday home doubleheader against Elgin Larkin and a single game at Libertyville on Monday postponed due to the inclement weather. The Warriors, now 1-0, will host Antioch in a 10:30 a.m. doubleheader on Saturday, April 10 at McCracken field. Carl Moesche McHenry 2-6-0-0-0-0-0-8 Streamwood 0-0-0-1-0-3-1-5 McHENRY -- Zion-Benton came from behind and tallied three runs in the last two innings to defeat host McHenry 11-10 in a girls softball game Thursday night. In a game which saw the lead change hands four times, the Zee-Bees had to overcome a six-run sixth inning to spoil the Warrior season opener. McHenry had its op­ portunity to win the game in the bottom of the seventh, however. With two outs and runners on first and second base, Zion intentionally walked slugging first baseman Donna Chesler to load the bases. But then Julie Hetterman struck out to end the game. Nonetheless, McHenry coach Mary Osterman felt that her team had played well in its opener, and against a team of about the same ability. "I thought we played very well," said the McHenry coach. "For our first time out, we played heads up softball And our two teams matched up very well too as the final score ii^licates." After a scoreless first inning, the Warrior girls got on the scoreboard first with a pair of runs in the second frame. The Zee-Bees answered with one of their own in the bottom of the second and tallied five times in the top of the fourth for a 6-2 lead. Jodi Werhane got one of those runs back with a run- scoring triple in the bottom of the fourth, but Zion came back with two more of its own for an 8-3 lead. Each team scored another run in its next at bats, then the Warrior girls put together a six-run outburst which gave them a 10-8 advantage, and their last lead. All-Fox Valley conference returnee Karen Karpavicius highlighted the inning with a two-run single which scored Sue Smith and Robin Geiger, and Joan Stelmack and Geiger added run-scoring singles which put McHenry ahead. But Zion knotted the score and won the game in the seventh frame as the number nine hitter in the order, Lori Daisy singled in Cheryl Gordon with the winning run. Neither team had trouble collecting hits as McHenry totaled nine and Zion wrapped out 11, but the Warriors had trouble getting the clutch hit when it needed one. Besides the three runners stranded in the bottom of the seventh inning, the Warriors also left six others waiting on the basepaths. The Zee-Bees left.only four runners on for the game. Junior Cissy Pinkstaff suffered the loss for McHenry allowing seven hits, six runs, two walks, and one strikeout in her five innings of work. Smith, a senior, hurled the final two frames allowing five ruhs (only one earned), four hits, and three walks, while striking out one. Geiger led the Warrior offense with a 2-for-2 per­ formance in a reserve role, and Stelmack also had a pair of hits. Now 0-1, McHenry will host cross-town rival Johnsburg on Wednesday, April 7 in a 4:30 p.m. contest. The Skyhawks have yet to play this season with games against Cary-Grove, Rich- mond-Burton, and Crystal Lake South all being post­ poned due to -inclement w e a t h e r . V Weather permitting, Pinkstaff will again take the mound for McHenry, while the Johnsburg hurler will be One of two sophomores, Kathy Butler or Michelle Swartzloff.
