PAGE 6-PLAIN DEALER-WEDNESDAY, MAY 5, 1971 Warriors Sweep Doubl From Libertyville 9-6, by Bill Blankenhorn The varsity baseball team swept their first doubleheader of the year as they downed LJbertwille 9-6 and 3-1 Satur­ day afternoon at McCraeken field. The first game was a free swinging affair as there were 21 hits in the game, 13 by the winning Warriors. Libertyville took an early lead as they scored a run in the first in- niog. The Warriors scored a pair of runs in the second and the Wildcats took the lead in with four runs in the , Me Henry came back to the lead for good with runs of their own in the th and then finished off the ?st as they pushed across three more in the bottom of the fifth. John DeCieco was the hitting hero for the winners as he was four for four with two singles and a pair of doubles as he scored two runs and also drove in a pair. Bob Wicken­ kamp picked up the victory in relief of starter Bob Keuchel. Wickenkamp pitched a strong 4 and two-thirds innings and yielded just one run on three hits. v, The nightcap was strictly a pitcher's battle as GregFreund gave up a pair of walks to the first two men he faced that resulted in the only run Li­ bertyville was to get off the senior righthander for the day. Freund scattered three singles as he struck out four and walked four in going the distance. The Warriors pushed across the winning runs in the fourth inning as they scored a pair after two were out. Higgins, Prazak and DeCicco slammed back to back singles, and coupled with a pair of errors and a steal of home by Prazak, gaveMcHenry all the runs they needed. The winners scored an insurance run in the fifth. Prazak and Dehn each had a pair of hits for the Warriors to lead that depart­ ment. d EARL WALSH A It is Sunday night. Thought it might be well to knock out a column early this wedt. The calendar reminders promise a busy week. That's the way we like it. Freshest in our memory is the Choral Club program. In spite of all the teasing we have given "Brenda" all the years, *e must say to you that it was a great program.. From the moment that Otto Pyritz came through the cur­ tains in a something different garb, the program was off and wingin'. So I Hear IMPORTS EDITOR. had occasion to tell a few of the performers how much we enjoyed their performance -- and meant it sincerely'. From our talented director "Brenda" all the way through the list, this group is packed with exceptional talent. We doubt very much if another com­ munity of our size could stage such a program. What do you call that musi­ cal instrument that Otto played? --A come-to-me-go-from-me -- Accordion, that's it! ' i; r n - McHenry » High's farmer coach, Gerald Reed, came back to McHenry for the program. So did "Line-o-type Lisle" Franzen and his family. Lisle is now an M.D. We pinned the nickname on him years ago when he set type in the old Plain- dealer shop. Some people ribbed us be­ cause they had to find a "Dut­ chman" (Orville Freund) to sing the Irish song -- Danny Boy. Our friend Orville is the boy who can sing it. Both Coach Reed and Lisle were pioneers in the formation of the Choral club. Both still have friends in McHenry who enjoy seeing them come back. Better not try to mention names. The list is long.

'Twas old time hospitality at its finest. Like the old song "We Could Have Danced All Night", in our case we could have talked all day. They know the history of McHenry like a book.

The win was the second for the Warriors in North Suburban Conference play. Don Prazak pitched fine ball for five innings for the win­ ners before being forced to leave the hill after being hit on the instep by a line drive. Bob Wickenkamp then came in and pitched three innings of no- hit, no run ball to register the victory. Wickenkamp allowed the Bluestreaks just one base runner as he walked the lead- off man in the bottom of the eighth inning. McHenry took a three run lead into the bottom of the fifth inning as they scored one run in the second on a lead-off double by Guy Karafa where he scored on a pair of Woodstock errors. In the fifth, Rogers led off with a single and Ron Mil­ ler followed with another base Ufer J[oe forcedRofc «%t the platejlHosier Sliv­ ered a base hit to score a pair of runs. Woodstock tied the game with a pair of runs in their half of the fifth and a single tally in the bottom of the sixth. Mc­ Henry then scored the winning run in the top of the eighth as Dehn led off with a walk and scored when Hosier came through with a double to give him three RBPs for the game.

Your sports department is indebted to Warren Kuhlman for the following report which ap­ peared this week in the Rotary Reel: Unbelievable! Most of Mc­ Henry township's 22,989 bod­ ies missed the greatest ath­ letic contest of the year. The annual? Rotary-Kiwanis bas­ ketball game. Here are the Wrangling Wre- sults: ROTARY - 58 KIWANIS - 58 Howard 4 4 Bruce 2 - Wilhelm 2 2 24 10 Schwartz (Ringer) 1 -1 KIWANIS Mapes Fain Adair Cunat Thomas Mortel 1 10 4 2 2 10 2 9 - 5 For some reason there are a few discrepancies in the scor­ ing. The scoreboard actually showed Kiwanis 59, Rotary 58. However, the scoreboard op­ erators, Fred Meyer, relieved by Chuck Peterson, had diffi­ culty in pushing the right but­ tons. The Rotarians had very little help from the referee (none other than Candy Striper Bolg'), he even tried for a couple baskets in Rotary's be­ half, but couldn't quite reach it. The Kiwanian youth was just too much for the Rotarian's giant effort. All in all, "yours truly" was the official scorer, and I couldn't be wrong. With this I relinquish the 'Reel' to the classical quotes of Dave Benrud.
