|Z| Mi.j-;6. , | U\DEALER.FRIDAY, MAY 14,1K2 Hole Romps In 12-Inch Openers Last year's championship 12-inch Softball club, the Fox Hole Tap, waited patiently until the fourth in­ ning before unleashing a 16-run barrage versus the Peer Inn-Jack's Snack Shop to turn a three-run deficit into a 17-4 route. The Tan's next opponent on Monday evening-was the Whale's Tail, a nine- zip winner over Little John's. The Tap never looked back as they slammed 21 hits and scored 19 more runs in another slaughter rule shortened contest. Trailing 4-1 in the first game, the Fox Hole Tap sent 20 batters to the (date with Vinnie Freund supplying the power, belting a pair of three-run home runs. Freund was three for three in the contest. Mike Peterson added a pair of singles good for three RBI's while Rich Meyers drove in two runs with two hits. Twig Miller's triple ac­ counted for two r^ore runs. Brian Greve hit an inside the park home run for the Peer Inn-Jack's Snack Shop while Gary Rosing's double drove in a run. John Oeffling drove in two runs with a clutch two- out single. Peer Inn-Jack's 8.8 0 0 1 3 0 -4 Fox Hole Tap 0 0 1 16 x - 17 Home Runs: Vinnie Freund (2) and Brian Greve (1). , The Fox Hole met the Whale's Tail in the McHenry 12-lnch's 'new look' scheffcile which has a pair of 6:30 p.m. contests followed by a 7:1$ game between one of the ball clubs which already played at 6:30 p.m. With both teams already victorious the outcome would leave only one team at the top in Eastern division play. That outcome was never , in doubt as the Fox Hole continued where it left off in game one with a convincing 19-2 thrashing of the Whale's Tail. Ron Miller, who holds a league record for the highest average for a tenth batter, went three for three including an RBI triple and sacrifice fly. Mike Peterson had three hits, three runs scored and three RBI's while Twig Miller added three hits and three RBI's. Jeff Meyers tripled, doubled and singled in four at bats.

The Row scored five times in the bottom of the first after Wayne Roewer's two-run first had put Kiss It in the lead It could have been worse except for a Row runner leaving the base too early (an out) and the first of two spectacular line drive catches by third haafnisn John "Rookie" Michaels. King's Row built an t-2 lead with three more in the second, towever, West End sluggers came to the rescue. Tom Burke's three-run homer tied the contest in the fourth while a King's Row outfield error and Pat Burke's two-run single put Kiss it ahead for good an inning later.
