» PAGE f • PUUNDEALCK • WEDNESDAY. JUL Y 7. IMS Youth Soccer Boasts Biggest Turnout participants fUdUNih One of (be fastest growing uupMH ran through the McHenry Deportment of Parks A Recreation is undoubtedly the youth soccer program program strong foothold in this community that participation levels hove es dramatically since the first Sixty boys and girls ages HI started the program in 1M0. Since that time, the attend*nee figure rose to 145 in 1991 to 190 participants this year, more than three times the original turnout. According to Pete Merkei, Parks A recreation Director, the large turnout is understandable. 'There's no right field in soccer," Merfcel said. ' Here everything is out in the open. It's a very active sport and it's for everybody." The McHenry youth leagues have been divided into three age divisions: 9-7, 89, and 10-12 to compensate for the large turnout Practice sessions are held for the youngsters st three locations: Petersen park, Knox park, and West campus during the week and games are slated on Saturdays. With the ever-present little league conflicts and other weekend com­ mittments, the soccer league has tried to schedule around these other ac­ tivities. The 8-7 year olds play at A.P. Freund field beginning at 9:00 a.m., while the two older leagues play at the new soccer field at Knox park located just north of the tennis courts. The 9-9 year old <tvision begins play at It:00 a.m., while the 19-12 year olds play in the afternoons with the first game beginning at 1:00 p.m. The season started on June 26 and will continue until August 7. There will be no playoffs as the purpoee of the program is to develop good soccer techniques rather than a 'play to win' attitude. Program coaches for the summer activity which help kids with soccer skills, rules, and fundamentals are Lisa Toole, Ken Bottari, Dave Mauer, and Barb Ansell. But all are college students and will be returning to their studies when the fall soccer program begins in Sep- tember Therefore, the Department of Parks A Recreation is in need of volunteer adult supervision for the fall leagues. "We need adults to get in­ volved in the program," added Merkei." With the growing popularity of the sport, Merkei estimates that the fall league may grow to a record 140 to 145 (his year. The league, been mainly for grades M, would like to open up so that 13-15 year olds may take part also. Also seen is the possibility that a spring league may be formed Other fukre plans for the program include the possibility of joining a travelling soccer league which already contains teams representing Crystal Lake, Cary-Grove. Barrington, and Wauconda, to name a few. Adults seeking to play on a soccer team are encouraged to come out to Knox park on Thursday nights for practice. With enough player interest, a travelling team is also in the future plans at the adult level. The organizational meeting for the fall program will be held on Thursday. August 5 at McHenry City Hall. 1111 N. GTeen street. For further in­ formation, call the Department of Parks A Recreation at 344-3300.

King's Row fell 10-7 in game one, while the Rusty Nail Inn dropped a 6-2 decision in the nightcap. The win over the Rusty Nail was even more satisfying as Doherty's avenged an opening day 3-1 loss to Kevin Bauer's club. In the Game of the Night, the Nail struck first with single runs in the first two innings. Rick Wakitsch singled in the first run and John Conneil tripled and scored on Ron Lentine's base hit for the second But Doherty's went ahead to stay in the bottom of the second inning with Sport Stop Smothers St. Regis 20-1 With St Regis Pub at 7-1 opposing John's Sport Stop at 6-2, Thursday night's 16-inch softball showdown was billed as one of the top games of the season. But the anticipated shootout turned into a an ambush as Sport Stop stunned the Pub 20-1 in a five inning rout. The victory gives Sport Stop a two game lead in the eastern division as second place J A L Oil had earlier forfeited to drop to 5-4. St. Regis dropped into a tie for second place in the West with 3D-Bowl, while Hiller Construction rests at the top at 0-0. Rich Thompson, who had three hits to improve his league loading batting average to .710, got the Snort Stop on tie move in the fir9t<4Mfng When ho tripled home Fred Popp. Thompson then scored as Rick Wakitsch reached on an error, and two more Pub out­ field errors led to three more unearned runs as John's took a 5-0 lead. Sport Stop added a solo run in the top of third, then put the game out of reach with 14 runs in the fifth on 11 hits and four more Pub errors. Wakitsch and Jerry Brodin joined Thompson with 3-for-4 and three runs scored performances, while Bob Jaworski, Tom Les, and Bob Rakovlch followed with two hits each Jaworski had a double and a triple good for four RBI's. Sport Stop out hit the Pub 18 to 5. St. Regis finally got on the board in the bottom of the fifth as Scott Letzter led off with a hustling double, took third on Brian DiBlasi's hit, and scored on Dan McAuliffe's fly ball. Until that time, the normally potent St. Regis offense had managed only three runners into scoring position. with several key plays Mike Tiege pitched a fine game as 13 of the 21 Palace outs were either pop ups or fly outs. Mike Murphy led FCA Palace with two doubles, while Eric Wales also went 2-for-3 with an extra base blow FCA-Palace Bowl Phylly's Inn 2-1-0-0-0-0-0 - 3 I-0-0-2-4-2-x - 9 three runs Irish DeCiccio and Jerry Brodin led off with singles and OeCkcio took third on Mike Rogers' fielder's choice. Randy Vauk followed with the first of his two RBI singles. However. Vauk's hit went by a Nail fielder and Rogers followed DeCiccio across the plate to tie the score, with Vauk taking third on the play. Vauk then scored the go-ahead run when Tom Roach reached on an error. In the third. "The Hammer" Brodin slammed a two-run homer over the left field fence. Rogers' single with an outfield error put him in scoring position for another Vauk RBI single. Vauk would be cut down at third on a great throw from Jim Zasada to Wakitsch on a Tom Roach single, but it was too little too late for the Rusty Nail defense. The Doherty defense turned a double play going from Steve Mai to Jim Wayman to Jim Perriwe to end a second inning Nail threat. Nail leadoff hatters were stranded on base in the fourth and sixth, while another possible rally was stymied when a Nail runner left base too early. At the i ime runners were at the corners with one out. DeCiccio, Brodin, Vauk, and Rogers all had two hits for Doherty's, while chuck Marke, Zasada, and Wakitsch matched that for the Nail.

The victory improved S A L's record to 5-4 in the loop, while home Maintenance had its record dented to 7-1. S & L took immediate control of the game scoring three runs in the bottom of the first inning. Kris Kleeman singled home two runs in the inning and Dawn Kinsala drove in the third run with a sacrifice fly. In the second inning, SAL con­ tinued to hit the ball solidly as three more hits plated as many runs. Winning pitcher Jenny Rickert helped her own cause with a two-run homer in the inning and Kinsala picked up another RBI with a run-scoring single. S & L put the game,out of reach in the bottom of the third inning as 12 players went to bat and the final six runs crossed the plate. Holly Bran- denburger, who went 2-for-2 for the game with three runs scored, smacked a run-scoring double in the third which all but ended Home Maintenance's chances for an un­ defeated season. Rickert went all seven innings on the mound and struck out eight bat­ ters to record the win. She received excellent defensive support from her teammates, especially from cen- terfielder Stacy Miller who threw out a runner at home plate. Kinsala led the offense with three hits, while Kleeman, Brandenburger, and Rickert had two each. Yvette Fuiava entered the game in the fourth inning and helped to bring her team back with a three-run homer in the fifth. The late blooming Locker's Flowers won their third straight game behind Jenny Acred's strong pitching and Stacey Justen's clutch hitting in a 24- 2 3 s l u g f e s t w i t h S A L . Starring offensively for Locker's were Cindy Shaver, Heather Wirtz, Acred, and Tracy Hoffman, who has now gone lS-for-13 over the last three games including three round trippers, one of which was a grand slam in this game. Defensive star of the game was W i r t z w h o s n u f f e d o u t a l a t e S A L raUy with a sensational grab of a line drive off the bat of cleanup batter Kris Kleeman. Tracey Funk also turned in several defensive gems for the win­ ners. After trailing for almost the entire game. Lockers came back and took the lead in the bottom of the sixth. S & L s c o r e d t h r e e r u n s i n t h e t o p o f the seventh to tie on hits by Ricker, Miller, and Kinaala, but Locker's came back again to win the contest in the bottom half of the frame. Shaver led off the inning with a single and moved to third on Acred's d o u b l e . W i t h f i r s t b a a e o p e n , S A L intentially walked Hoffman, Locker's leading hitter. Two pitches later, Justen lofted a short fly to left which dropped scoring Shaver with the winning run. In another game, the McHenry Police Association clobbered Wally's Bike Haven 25-9 behind winning pitcher Jenny Meyers. An eight-run third inning highlighted by Kim Powers' home run helped to turn a close game into a rout. Amy Kuczwara also homered for the winners and teammates Colleen Przetacznik, Katie Winn, Chris Van Dinther, Debbie Sundby, and Amy Dodds also had fine nights at the plate. 7-Mile River Run Slated Address > 0 0 0 * 0 s o . . . . . . . .
