's, Johnsburg To Doherty's, Fox Hole In Semis WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 1C. 1*1 f Wayne's swept aside Rusty Nail Inn 15*0 in first round playoff action to advance into the Men's 12- Inch semi-finals - their opponent undefeated Doherty's. In the other first round series the Johnsburg Businessmen twice defeated the Old Bridge Tavern by scores of 11-6 and 13-6. The victories wiped out the Bridge one game lead in the series and send Johnsburg into the semi-finals versus last year's playoff champs, the Fox Hole Tap. Semi-final play will conclude on Wednesday, Sept. 16 with the second game in the Wayne's- Doherty's 3 game series. If either series needs the third game both will be played on Wednesday. In the Wayne's-Nail contest the winners simply overwhelmed Rusty Nail with a 23-hit effort while the losers could manage but three singles. Defense was also the key as winning pitcher Pat Burke single handedly shut down Nail attempts to hit up the middle. Two superb catches of line drives in the first inning plus four more assists including a 1-6-3 doubleplay in the third all helped as not one Rusty Nail runner could get to third base! Wayne's did not get on the scoreboard until the third. George Cadotte led off with a single followed by Scott Stull's base hit. After Don Prazak flew out to left Rich Kuchera singled in Cadotte. Tom Prudden doubled in Stull and Tom Burke drove in both Kuchera and Prudden to give Wayne's a 4- 0 lead. the ^in the sixth, Wayne irst Roewer and Kevin Horner both singled and scored on Rick Wiegman's double. George Cadotte and Scott Stull kept the rally going with doubles followed by Don Prazak's two run single to give Wayne's a commanding 9-0 lead. Six more runs in the seventh put the game too far out of reach for the Nail. Pat Burke, George Cadotte, Rich Kuchera and Tom Burke had RBI singles while two more runs scored when left fielder Len Ackerman got stuck under the fence and dropped Don Prazak's long fly ball. Rich Kuchera had four hits to help the winners. Wayne Roewer, Rick Wiegman and George Cadotte all had three hits each.

Although the Bridge held a one game to none advantage in their best of three playoff series they could only Held five regulars with two of those five playing despite being injured. Gary Gilpin, broken toe and all, still managed to put Old Bridge out in front with a two-run homer in the first. Tom Ludwig was on third with a triple.

Jim Meyers lead-off single, an error and a base on balls loaded the Joel Wakitsch next singled in a pair of runs, Scott Letzter singled in one run and Mark Schultz drove in the fourth fielder's choice. Ken Ludwig and John Pitzen hit Bridge singles in the top of the fourth with Ludwig scoring on an out­ field throwing error and Pitzen scoring on Dan Thennes' sacrifice fly. That tied the score at four each. But a Tim Frantz sacrifice fly and a Jim Meyer's RBI single put Johnsburg back on top by a score of 6-4 in their half of the fourth. The Bridge's Tom Ludwig and Gary Gilpin teamed for RBI singles in the fifth to tie the score for the last time. The Businessmen came right back in their half of the fifth as Phil Oeffling led off with an inside the park home run. A couple of errors helped score Joel Wakitsch in the same inning. In the sixth Johnsburg's Harry May singled in Wayne Hiller while both May and Phil Oeffling scored on Scott Letzter's base hit. It was icing on the cake as the Businessmen won 11-6.

The Businessmen had nine straight hits in the first in­ cluding Marck Schultz's bad hop infield single. Tim Frantz's sacrifice fly ended up in a doubleplay to end the inning fyowever Johnsburg was in the driver's seat for the rest o f the first round series rubber match. Gary Gilpin drove in the Bridge's first run with a sacrifice fly. Later in the fifth Gary would drive in his second run before pulling himself. Gilpin somehow accounted for 4 RBI's going 3 for 5 with a home run and sacrifice fly in the two games. However, Johnsburg matched the Bridge in the final six innings while the Old Bridge could never come up with the big hit.
