STATE M 81S-S4S-734S The McHenry Plaindealer PAGE 6 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, JUNE 3,1983 Is A Softball Crystal Lake South defeated McHenry for the Johnsburg regional softball title Tuesday, but it won't be the last heard from McHenry in this sport. / Why? Ay Very simply -- organization. McHenry probably has one of the deepest and most solid girls softball programs implemented in the Fox Valley area. The foundation was built eight years ago, and now the walls of what can be a successful period of time for girls softball have been raised. While South continues their season at Loves Parte, the McHenry girls look forward to turning in their equipment. But all is not lost. Pat Wirtz, varsity coach at McHenry, only lo6es two seniors from the squad for next year. On top of that, Wirtz has the luxury of gaining players from a junior varisty team that went 18-0 overall this season and 14-0 in the Fox Valley Conference. But, the roots of this success goes farther than the high school varsity and junior varsity teams. The roots reach the grade school level. This is where Wirtz and junior varsity coach Gary Trembly place most of the credit Eight years ago, Fran Larsen and four other concerned parents sat in Larsen's living room and planned the birth of a youth saftballleague for girls. The next year, the birth took place with two divisions and four teams in each one. It was expanded to its present size of three divisions and 24 teams. In a town that is softball crazy, no matter what the sex or age, the growth of the program has had a definite effect on the high school program. Girls came out of the youth program with the fundamentals which made it easy for Wirtz and Tembley this season. McHenry is a softball crazy town and Janet My biggest problem was who to play and where was Trerabley's first season as the Talk Mike Lamb Sports Editor Dowe, one of the parents that sat in Larsen's living room, will vow the girls involved in the program are committed. "You can see little girls come to school with bats and gloves, instead of barbie dolls." Trembly gives most of the credit of his JV success to the youth program. "They come here with most of their skills. They have the basic skills and understanding/of the game already. I didn't have to teach them anything. to play them." This was Trembiey': junior varsity coach. He has been involved with the youth program in the past. Wirtz was the junior varisty coach before this season. Wirtz has a daughter presently in the youth program and he also gives credit to the im. "When I look at our team, I see 13-14 t on the varsity that can stand up to the (date and bat. Some other teams only nave seven, or nine. I had four sophomore's start ly's game (against Crystal Lake South) and are fundamentally strong." The effect of the youth programupon the high school program can be seen in the varsity and junior varisty records. In 1975-76,McHenry finished with a 6-6 record, 1976-77 7-6 overall, 1977-78 4-10 record, 1978-79 9-11 overall and 1979- 80 12-8 overall. After 1980, the foundation was laid. In the 1980-81 season, the varsity finished with a 9-5 FVC record and the JV team was 12- 2. In 1981-82, the varsity was 6-11 and the JV's were 24-4 overall. Now add 1983, and you have a program on the upswing. McHenry will miss Cissy Pinkstaff and Karen Karpavicius, the two seniors graduating. But Wirtz has to have a real confident feeling when he knows there will always be somebody fundamentally sound and the talent to nil those shoes. South Nips McHenry • a In Regional Softball Quest Pinkstaff Loses Pitching Dual MIKE LAMB - JOHNSBURG -- The classic pit­ ching matchup if there ever was one in Fox Valley softball. Cissy Pinkstaff of McHenry and Becky Wolenec of Crystal Lake South locked horns for 64 innings. When it was all over, Wolenec emerged the victor 3-2, but not after a battle. McHenry finished with a 18-4 record. South moves on to the Loves Park Harlem Sectional. "It was anybody's today," said a disappointed Warrior coach, Pat Wirtz. "Both teams played well. They got two unearned runs. They beat us with two little unearned runs, but that's all they needed.'? ns>n McHenry committed three errors and two of them cost dearly. Both teams needed a break with both pitchers pitching tough. Wolenec only gave up two hits, no earned runs, one walk and four strikeouts. Pinkstaff threw a four hitter, gave up one earned run and two walks. The Gators with Wolenec pitching, gained the upper hand right away over McHenry. Wolenec retired the first nine McHenry batters until the fourth, when Wolenec gave up a walk to Patti Johnson. South got on the scoreboard in bottom of the first inning. Lynn Naujokas led off with ball hit to McHenry's Johnson who bobbled it and Naujokas reached on the error. Maureen Feely then grounded out to Pinkstaff for the first out, but Sue Hoppmann successfully attempted the suicide squeeze with Naujokas at third base. Finkstaff fielded the ball and her only play was first base, retiring Hoppmann for the second out. South fel 1-0. McHenry tied it in the fourth inning. Johnson led off with a walk and was the first Warrior base runner. Andee f»v< , aril Norton hit one in short right field for what appeared to be a base hjt, Johnson easily advanced to second, but South rightfielder Beth Haa^e threw to first base in time to get Norton for the out. * Pinkstaff then reached on a drop ball by the first baseman to put runners on first and third. They then successfully attempted the doubfc steal, sending Johnson to the plate fpr the run and Pinkstaff to second. Karen Karpavicius moved Pinkstaff to third on a sacrifice fly, but the inning ended when Greta Larsen flew out to second base. South came back with two in the\r half of the fourth inning. Sue Hopp- man, Colleen Henry and Jenny Gibson all singled, with Hoppmann scoring and runners on first and third. Henry scored on a wild pitch, moving Gibson to second. Hasse reached on a fielder's choice, moving Glibson to third and she tried to score, but wps cut down at the plate on the throw by Johnson from third base. Wolenec reached on an error, but the next two batters flew out to end the inning. The three South runs ended up to be all they needed to win. McHenry would score one more time, in the fifth inning. Renee Mezzano led off with a ball hit to the second baseman, which was bobbled and Mezzano reached on the error. Mezzano stored second and reached third on the Sarah Prust ground out. She scored on the sacrifice fly ball by Val Kilday. Wolenec beared down on McHenry in the sixth and seventh, allowing just two hits, which were the only base runners. • "I guess we can look forward to next year," said Wirtz. "Both teams played well. I hope Crystal Lake South goes a long way."
