Waiting for the ball is first baseman Linda Schoen. Ed's Rental rallied in the seventh inning to beat N and R 11-6 and remain unbeaten in Women's 16-inch softball with a 9-0 record. | STAFF PHOTO-CARL MOESCHE Ed's Rental Rallies Ed's Rental overcame a scare from N and R, but rallied to win 11-6 to keep its unbeaten streak alive in McHenry Women's 16-inch softball. N and R pitcher Gail Strand and a tough defense kept Ed's behind until the seventh inning when Ed's staged a six-run outburst. Winning pitcher Jane Miller scored the winning run on a single by Beth Cable as Ed's improved its record to 9-0. Gearmaster and Four Winds remain tied for second place with identical 6-3 records as both also won Tuesday night. Gearmaster whitewashed Dr. Frymark 13-0 as pitchers Mary Ann Knudson and Mary Norton combined to throw a no-hitter. Four Winds won 9-2 over Sunnyside behind pitcher Cher Kumm. Chris Torkarz hit a two-run home run in the fourth inning and later hit a run-scoring double. Bonnie Irwin also contributed a two- run triple for the winners STANDINGS So W 1 Ed's Rental 9 0 Gearmaster 6 3 Four Winds 6 3 Sunnyside 5 4 N and R l 8 Dr. Frymark 0 9 Bullpen By Carl Moesche Here We Go Again Cleveland, Ohio has been the butt of many a sports joke in the last few years and it doesn't look as though matter? will change drastically in the near future In baseball, the Indians haven't been contenders since Harry Truman was President. In basketball, the Cavaliers look ahead to May, not for the playoffs, but to see where they will draft because their losses greatly outweigh their wins. Only the football Browns have emerged from the depths of futility to give the fans something to shout about. Quarterback Brian Sipe has guided the "Cardiac Kids" into the playoffs the last two years, but each year the Browns have been eliminated in the first round. Cleveland fans just can't win. Next Tuesday, July 14, they're going to get a little more sand kicked in their faces as they will be denied an opportunity to see baseball's best in the major league All Star game which is scheduled to be played in Cleveland's Municipal Stadium. The rain-out date is July 15, and if need be July 30. The way negotiations are going between the players and the owners, the latter date even appears out of the question. Talks between the two groups are going nowhere. On many occasions negotions have broken off and the two sides have not even met Neither side appears to be in much of a hurry to settle By next Tuesday, approximately 350 games will have been cancelled due to the strike The owners are sitting back stnokinr their cigars and surviving off of their strike insurance. Players are enjoying a summer vacation of sort, and some like Montreal's Bill Lee have made it public that they would rather forget about the rest of the season even if a compromise is met. In the end it's always the fans that have to suffer. 78,000 people have already purchased tickets for the All Star game. It hardly seems fair that a much malign& city like Cleveland suffer even more. Their fans certainly don't deserve it. Twenty years ago, there were two All Star classics played in a year because of the enthusiasm for the game. How the times have changed.

The Rusty Nai Inn pulled out a 13-12 victory over Wayne's for their fifth victory while the losers are now 7-2. Jewel Park of Barrington defeated both the Whale's Tail and King's Row. Hainesville Inn nearly pulled off a fourth upset before dropping a close one run decision to the Old Bridge Tavern. In the Rusty Nail's see­ saw struggle, Kevin Freund slammed a three run home run to give the Nail an early > lead in the top of the first. Later in the same inning, Joe Miller hit the first of his three singles to drive in a fourth run. Tom Burke retaliated with a two-run home run in Wayne's half of the first. He also drove in a run two in­ nings later to bring Wayne's within 6ne. But the Rusty Nail took advantage of two Wayne's errors, a base on balls and three base hits to move the score to 8-3 in the fourth inning. • Again Wayne's stormed back with a seven run onslaught in the fifth to take a 10-8 lead of their own. Tom Burke doubled in the first run of the inning. Homerun power tied the score as Wayne Roewer hit a long grand slam. Finally Tom Prudden hit an inside the park two-run homer to put Wayne's on top. Ray Thelen led off with a triple in the Nail's sixth and Gary Schmitt drove him in with his second of three base hits Schmitt advanced to home on a base hit, walk, and Len Ackerman's sacrifice fly to tie the contest at 10. A1 Stilling then became the hero when he sliced a liner to right which scooted under Wayne Roewer's glove all the way to the fence for a three run home run and 13-10 lead. Wayne's went 3 up and 3 down in the sixth inning, but in the seventh Tom Burke hit his second home run of the contest to narrow the gap to two runs. That gave Burke a perfect four for four at the plate and nine homers for thp QPAQ/Hl Pat Burke drew his third base on balls of the game and scored on successive singles by Wayne Roewer and Kevin Horner. With only one out and trailing by a ran Tom Prudden slammed a hard ground shot to third baseman Rick Waldtsch who knocked it down and then forced Roewer at third. With the tying ran still in scoring position Scott Stull grounded sharply to the mound. Pit­ cher A1 Stilling scooped it up for the putout at first to seal the Rusty Nail's victory. The Nail's Mike Janik had three base hits while Rick Wakitsch added a double and single. Wayne Roewer had three hits for Wayne's while Kevin Horner added a double and single.

In their first game the Whale's Tail was breezing along with a 5-0 lead. But a seven run Jewel Park fifth inning erased the Tail lead. Bob Sander's bases loaded triple plus a Leon Palatas two run homer were the k€sy hits. The Tail came back and tied the score in the sixth, and they had a chance to retake the lead in the top of the seventh. Jewel Park's Craig Rodgers stopped that threat when he gunned down Fred Stockey at the plate. Jewel Park loaded the bases in their half of the . seventh with no outs.

That along with a great Bridge rally in the late innings (9 runs in their last two at bate) gave tl*^ Bridge a 12-11 victory. The winner's defense was also stingy as both Doug Freund and Jim Zasata made great running catches in the outfield. Both fielders also caught Hainesville runners rounding first too far off the bag. In fact the potential tying run was picked off in the seventy inning. , Gary Gilpin helped the Bridge with his seventh and eighth home runs of the season. John Pitzen was perfect at the plate in four attempts while Tom Ludwig added three hits. The trio accounted for eight of the Bridge runs scored and had seven RBIs.

PatWirtz Plaindealer Cubs Share Lead The Mini Division of the McHenry Junior Youth League saw very limited action this week because of the Fourth of July weekend. Only four games were played and just one change in the standings occurred. The Cubs moved into a first place tie with the Astros as a result of their 9-6 win over the Braves. Johnny Lee pitched five innings striking out 12 batters. The Cubs' Gary Schmidt, Sean Dillion, and Kelly Roach led the hitting with Dillon and Alan Kraft each scoring three times. The Braves rallied in the bottom of the fifth on singles by Bobby Koczor, Bryan Nystrom, Jamie Franklin and Mike Turner but the effort fell short when Johnny Lee struck out the final two batters. The Braves won their other game of the week, a 9-7 win over the Twins. Bryan Nystrom went four for four at the plate and made a fine catch at first base. Franklin, Koczor and Turner all contributed to the hit parade, and Peter Low reached base all three times scoring twice for the Braves. The Brewers battled the Pirates to a 12-3 decision, getting them back on the winning ways. The Pirates were led by Robert DiCianni, one for two; Tommy Gaylor's defense at second base; Mike Kent, two for three; and Tim Sossong's double. Gary Erickson hit the ball well but was robbed of two hits by the fine Brewer fielding. The final game of the week was i seesaw battle bet­ ween the Dbdgers and Giants, finally won by the dodgers in the bottom of the fourth inning of a shortened game 13-12 as Brett Newbrough knocked in the winning run. Dodger scoring was led by Danny Sweet- wood's grand slam homerun and Jeff Godt's single and RBI.
