SAVE UP T01/2 and mora ISAMTtM PAGE 18 - PLAIN DEALER • WEDNESDAY, JULY 18,1884 Sports CL Legion leaves McHenry wanting By Chris Juzwik Plaindealer sports editor Waste not, want not. Nobody tossed that old phrase at Russ Williams Monday night after his McHenry Nautilus. American Legion team dropped a 6-2 decision to Crystal Lake. But, if someone had, he or she wouldn't have been out of place at all. Williams' Legion troop stranded 11 baseruimers in the McHenry County American Legion League tilt, leaving at least one on in every inning except the seventh. "Eleven?" Williams asked after the game. "Hurt's not getting very many around, is it?" Nautilus was looking to avenge two earlier losses to Crystal Lake, including one Saturday at a tournament' in Madison, Wis. Did McHenry want badly to win this game? "Oh, yes," said- Williams. "They (McHenry) were a little frustrated." BILL CAMERON was the starter and loser for McHenry, while Ross Vehring tosssed the final three innings. Cameron pitched out of trouble in the first as Crystal Lake sandwiched a single and a walk around a ground-out. But the McHenry hurler coaxed a slow roller off the bat of clean-up hitter Jim Foley, and struck out Mike Kenning to end the inning. Tim Pankiewicz led off the home first with a single to center. After two fly outs, Mike Podpora hit a grounder which CL shortstop Curt Ljunggren threw to third trying to nail Pankiewicz. The fleet McHenry center fielder slid under the tag, but both he and Podpora remained on base as Cameron rolled to third. McHenry spoiled its best ••wring opportunity in tte second. The Legionnaires had two hits and two walks in the inning, yet failed to tally one run. ROSS VEHRING, who had led the inning off with a free pass, was cut down trying to go to third on a Bill Frisch single to right. Pat Dunne followed with a single, and advanced to second on the throw to third, as Frisch slid in safely. Pankiewicz was intentionally walked to load the bases, but shortstop Steve Cunningham lined hard to center to end the threat. Crystal Lake got on the board when Jeff Aldridge executed a perfect suicide squeeze bunt. Cameron fielded the ball, but his only play was to first. The visitors scored a single run in the fourth to take a 2-0 lead, and then broke the game open with four in the fifth, knocking out Cameron. Ljunggren greeted Vehring with a booming triple. After a walk and two singles, Vehring got out of the inning thanks to a strike from relay man Podpora to catcher Brad Soyder, who put the tag on CL rigjhtfielder Jeff Gentges. owpoea 14 McHenry 1-1 at tourney MADISON, Wis. - It is often said good pitching will beat good hitting. McHenry's American Legion squad had plenty of the former, but not enough of the latter at a seven-team tournament in Wisconsin's capital last weekend. McHenry defeated a team from Waukesha, Wis., on Friday night tyy a 2-0 margin, as Pat Dunne scattered four singles, while striking out seven. On Saturday, however, eventual tournament champion Crystal Lake did McHenry in during a semifinal battle, as hurler Mike Kenning tossed a nifty one-hitter at the locals, CL winning by an identical 2-0 score. A Tim Pankiewicz single in the top half of the sixth spoiled Kenning's no-hit bid. McHENRY NEWCOMER Steve Banazinski pitched well enough to win, allowing just six hits and walking only one. But three of the hits came in the third, as Crystal Lake scored one run, and two other safeties, including a double, came in the sixth as the winners added some insurance. McHenry coach Russ Williams said his team played well, but didn't hit enough. "Wedttfet make any errors in either game," the McHenry mentor Mid. "We got some good pitching, but we just didn't hit well." Against Waukesha, McHenry could manage just five hits, but strung together three in the first, scoring the only two runs it would need. After Pankiewicz, who singled twice in the game, was erased on a double play grounder by Steve Cunningham, Kris Teuber walked, and Ross Vehring followed with a double, putting runners on second and third. Left fielder Bill Cameron brought both home with a double, and Dunne had all the ammunition he would need, Striking out a Waukesha pinch- hitter to end the game. Crystal Lake allowed a scant 14 hits and seven runs in its three wins at the tournament. McHenry Men's 12-Inch River Shannon dumps Johnsburg River Shannon overcame a four-run Johnsburg Businessmen first inning Wednesday, and pecked away at the lead, finally going on to win 7-5. Shannon scored twice in the fifth, sixth and seventh, and pounded out 14 hits for the game, to just six for Johnsburg. John Doessel had a two-run single in the sixth, enabling Shannon to tie the score. In the seventh, Dennis Wehreheim had an RBI single, and Ron Freund a sacrifice fly to put Shannon up for good. Kenny Bottari had three hits and an RBI to pace the Shannon attack. Wehreheim, Doessel, Dan Conway and Bob Greve chipped in two hits apiece. Tim Frantz rapped a double and triple and scored two runs for Johnsburg. The win raises River Shannon to 5-8wwhile Johnsburg drops to 7-5, both teams in the Western Division. Huemann's 15, Phylly's 3 Huemann's Water Conditioning slugged 16 hits, scoring in every inning as they whipped Phylly's Inn, 15-3. The big blows for Huemann's were doubles by Tom Janik in the first and third, good for three runs; an inside-the-park homer by Bud Smith in the second; a two-run triple by John Smith in the third; a two-run double by Jay Huemann in the fourth, and a towering three-run blast, crushed by Jim Althoff in the sixth. Althoff had five RBI for the game. Joe Huemann chipped in two singles and Tom Werisch three. Huemann's is 4-8; Phylly's is 0-12. West End 9, River Shannon 0 West End Pub shut down the River Shannon offense on four hits, as West End lashed 16, to win going away. West End plated six runs in the third on RBI singles by Terry Hovseth, Tom Burke and Steve Lane, and a two-run base hit by Pat Burke. ~* Hovseth, Lane and Tom Burke had three hits each. Don Prazak and Pat Burke chipped in two each. Larry Jones had half of the Shannon hits. West End Pub is 8-4, three games off the pace in the Eastern Division. Misses USFL frolics already While waiting to cross the bridge, I was thinking about: THE CHICAGO CUBS. Everyone is talking about the Cubs now, so I figured I'd better join in. If I've read one, I've read 1,989 stories about the correlations between this season's edition of the Cubs and the (me which folded about 15 autumns ago. ' The following have been cited: The Cubs were involved in a race with the Mets in 1909, they am again neck and neck in 1984. T%e Mets in 1989 were a bunch of young, up and coining stars then, and this season are also of the Saturday morning cartoon- watching variety. There are other similarities, but really, who cares? None of that matters. The Cubs may swan-dive in late August and September, but it won't happen now just because it happened then. The Mets may win the World Series and eventually send a goodly amount of players to the Hall of Fame, but it won't be because they did the same in 1969. There are so many loyal, die-hard Chicago baseball fans leery of talking about "it" because it could jinx the Cubs. Sorry to disappoint you, but things don't work that way. This year's Cubs team is good. It's no fluke the Cubs are playing well. There are quality baseball players on this team. There's no Joe Strain playing second, or Mike Vail in right or Ken Rudolph behind the plate. General Manager Dallas Green has pulled the right strings at the right times, bringing in key people to fill key holes in the organization. So dream a little. If you feel good about the Cubs' chances, say so. Don't cower underneath your Ron Santo poster and chew your fingernails. WRIGLEY FIELD. I dropped in to Clark and Addison's most famous ballpark Saturday, only to see the Cubs get two-hit by Orel Hershiser. It seems lite every time I pack up to see the Cubs or Sox play, guys like Orel Hershiser make the locals look like they're suffering from too much Sominex. But I digress. Wrigley Field never ceases to provide aesthetic pleasure for me. There's nothing like the feeling of walking into a park or stadium of any sort, and Wrigley emits such a warm, bright atmosphere. There really is no other place like it. THE UNITED STATES FOOTBALL LEAGUE. Hie USFL finished lis season Sunday, capped by athrflling 23-3 cham­ pionship tilt won by the um, uh, Philadelpftk wars. - It's hard to imagine surviving without the Monday morning fill of USFL stats, replete with datelines from Jacksonville, Fla., and Memphis, Tenn. But USFL fans must persevere, and be com­ forted by the fact that training camp is a mere she or so months away. Soon the strong franchises in the league will merge with the NFL, creating intriguing rivalries. For all practical purposes, two teams will be based in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and possibly even Chicago, if Eddie Einhorn's new venture succeeds. Hie new franchise in Chicago will play home games at Comiakey Park, equipping media personnel with the possibility of penning, "the Bears are on the road next week, traveling to Comiakey Park ..." Speaking of which, what kind of a name will this hew group of gridders bear? Most of the USFL teams have names which coincide with their cities. But Blitz didn't exactly work for me. I always liked the Chicago Fire. That had a lot of meaning. How about the Chicago Mob? Or the Chicago Machine. Collective nouns used as team names are the catchiest, anyway. Maybe this team will go the way of the Cubs and get bought by a newspaper company. That would be simple, they could call themselves the Chicago Tribune, and have little newspaper boxes printed on the helmets. 0 Plaindealer photo by Chrit Juzwik McHenry Nautilus' Bill Cameron fouls off a pitch in the first inning of Monday night's game against Crystal Lake. Cameron pitched five plus innings for McHenry, allowing four runs in the 6-2 McHenry loss. Chris Jexwik Sperts Editor
