had four college players on
two collegiate pitchers, and
fell behind 4-I in the
third frame.
Jeremy Robinson pitched the initial
three frames before Coach Kupper
ordered Scott Kupper to the mound.
From then on. Hammond couldn't stop
the inevitable. The Legion players
visioned sights of victory over the
powerful Hammond team.
But when Scott hit the mound the
entire game changed. Almost every
player took to the baseline on successful
raps.
While at the mound. Scott struck out
eight batters and allowed only one
scratch siflgle, He never walked one
batter. In fact, Scott may very well be on
of the area's hottest collegiate all-stars to
come, if he persists.
Anyway. Hammond was unable to
stop Ponchatoula Ordinarily the story is
just the opposite. "We're determined to
lead them all." said Kevin Wells who
proudly spoke on behalf of his team.
Without a doubt, the Leqion players
made an overwhelming effort worth
much admiration. In just three innings,
Ponchatoula ran in 11 runs at the plate
and held Hammond to only a single in
the same span.
"Hammond didn't know what hit
them. l'd like to see how they write that
game up." commented Coach Kupper.
Gene Lipscomb, Timmy Disher,
Kevin Wells and Mike Hutches touched
off the fourth innlng which gave them
the lead for the first time 5-4.
For the fifth frame, Gene, Kevin and
Mike returned scoring a run each,
joined by Asa Faulkner and deremy
Robinson. who also added a run each
making the score 10-4.
Steve Hebert made his dramatic
debut in the final frame, scoring his first
run of the game. He was followed by
Timmy Disher, adding his second run to
the scorebooks.

Jaycees shatter KFC record
By DUANE E. HARRIS
Sports Editor
During Friday night's dispute between
first place KFC and third place Jaycee
team. season firsts were set in the Dixie
Youth league:
KFC suffered their first loss in their 12
season games and the Jaycees became
the first team to defeat them this season.
Called off due to intense lightning
produced by an unsportsmanlike
thunderstorm, the game was called
during the fourth frame when the
Jaycees led KFC 4-2.
The fans fumed in anger and the
coaches threatened protest against the
game officials.
KFC took the lead early but it was
soon taken away on a John Foggleman
double for the Jaycees.
The two teams were evenly matched
but consecutive strike outs put KFC in a
tight position.
"We were just getting warmed up

=,,ae before that. Really, under tre
circumstances, when an umpire calls
the game for climatic conditions, there
should be no argument," explained
"'Mrs. Baseball." Margie Lessard who
dealt with the unsportsmanlike conduct
exhibited following the game in her own
honored way.
Be that as it may, both teams played
an excellent game. It was "'far from
boring" as pointed out by youth baseball
umpire Asa Faulkner.
For the Jaycees, Brad Berner finished
as the winning pitcher. Brad also
pitched the entire four frames where he
struck out a whopping eight batters and
walked only four. In addition. KFC was
held down to only three hits.
Scoring superior for the Jaycees were
Jason Wagner. Mike Ribera. Brad
Berner and David Probst as each
attributed one run each.
John Foggleman was the only player
in the game to rap out a double, Mike
addition, Jason, Bobby Wolfe and john
Foggleman were the only Jaycee
players to list hits in that game.
It was "a fate worse than death" for
KFC. Losing your first game in twelve to
conditions like those could be quite a
heartbreaker.
Chris Flannagan and Lenny Miller
were the only KFC batters to score as
Jim Woods and Lenny were the only
players to list a hit.
Chris, Bobby Lee, Corey Rogiun and
Gene Ferrant were each walked once
