■ Women's softball
activities
Not only has the MSA Women's Softball
League really gotten the ball rolling on the
regular playing field, but their bases are
covered as far as community activity is
concerned.
This Sunday, June 13, there will be
seven games played to help make up the
games that were rained out a couple of
weeks ago. Some really interesting games
are shaping up.
Even though the Renegades continue to
romp and stomp on all comers, both the
Hell Raisers and Armadillo Graphics are
only one game out each. And the second
game ofthe afternoon on Sunday will be
between the Renegades and the Hell
Raisers.
Later, the Hell Raisers will face the for-
madible Ducks, who are only lVSi games
out of first. And the Renegades go on to
meet the cellar occupants, Special Blend.
The Women's Softball is continuing its
support of the fundraiser/rally the first
Saturday of Gay Pride Week put together
jointly by the Montrose Sports Association and Black and White Men Together.
The WSL will have three booths there, and
will play their All—Star game at 6:30 p.m.,
after the game that is scheduled between
the MSA Softball Leaguefwhich is mostly-
—but not exclusively—men) and the Houston Fire Department softball players.
The women's All-Stars wil! bechosen by
each team picking two or three players
each. The players and coaches will decide.
■ Tennis challenges ease
up
After the massive action last week on
the MSA Tennis Ladder, this week seemed
like a vacation. Explained David Robicheaux, "There were so many last week.
And you can't challenge for a week to give
people who have moved up a chance to
move again."
Only two players were upwardly mobile
this past week. Michael Green had challenged Rick DuPont, but Rick resigned
from tennis for a while, so the match was
considered to be a default and Michael
took over the number 8 rung on the ladder.
Then he challenged number 6 David
Robicheaux and lost 6-0, 7-6, with a 5-3
tiebreaker.
The only other challenge was Don "Ringer" Smith, who challenged Michael
Houston and swatted his wav to victory
6-1, 6-2.
This coming week should see some challenges, though, since the cut-off date for
challenging is June 19 in order to qualify
to play in the Texas Challenge Cup. The
top seven singles players at that time will
be the ones who represent the MSA Tennis
I_eague in the tourney.
Expect Fred Lopez to be challenged by
Rich Ryan, and watch out for a dark horse
to stir things up.
As for the doubles, there will be round-
robin play on the 13th to determine who
will play in the tourney. As of June 9 there
were six doubles teams expecting to compete: Fred Lopez/Bobby Hopkins, David
Robicheaux/Larry Elliot, Michael
Houston/Michael Green, J.C. Barrera-
Jon Colbert, David Garza/Don "Ringer"
Smith, and Rich Ryan/John Ryan.
Besides the ladder activity, the regular
Sunday play is doing great, with 27 active
members participating and many others
showing up part-time.
Last Sunday saw a female player at the
courts. David Robicheaux said that they
are really looking forward to her coming
back and they hope that more women will
start coming out to play. Said David. "It's
gonna take that first one or two to come
out and then talk it up."

in seesaw battle
In a game that saw the lead change several times, Mary's rallied past A&K in the
last inning to up their record to 4 and __.
Some thought that Mary's might be easv
pickings for A&K since Mary's had
another game later in the evening with the
Division leading Sally's team.

Dirty Sally's scored 13 times on II hits
while holding the Voice to no runs on 5

over the Voice, came back to face then-
division rival, Mary's. Sally's continued
the display of power hitting with 5 more
homeruns, 2 by J. DeSale, one by K. Gray,
one by M. Marchena, and another by Ken
Bailey. In all, Sally's scored 11 runs on 12
hits while Mary's could manage only 8
runs on 9 hits.
Jim's Gym jumps on Montrose
Voice 16-10
Jim's Gym jumped to an early inning
lead over the Voice and held off a late
inning rally to win 16-10. The hitting for
the Gym was led by Dickie Hoke who was
3 for 4 on the night. The victory moves
Jim's Gym into a solid position in second
place in the South Division and breathing
down the Galleon's neck.
Sunday, June 6:
Galleon wallops A&K 22-4
The Galleon resumed their hitting
where they left off before the Memorial
weekend holiday with another 18 hit
attack to defeat A&K 22-4. However, the
game was played under official protest by
A&K due to a possible illegal substitution
made by the Galleon manager, G. Russo.
Regardless of the outcome of the protest,
Acti on
game. J
last weekend's
Gy~ won it, 18-
3.
1s Gyn vs.

the night, led by R Gore, 3 for 4 with a
double and homerun, and B. Collake, 3 for
3. Also, other homeruns were delivered by
A. Castillo, and D. Kessler.
Montrose Voice squeaks by Briar
Patch 9-8
In Sunday's second game, the Montrose
Voice rebounded from their two Saturday
es to defeat the Patch 9-8. The game
saw the Patch jump to an early lead but
the Voice held in and in the bottom ofthe
5th, pushed across their last run which
was just enough to hold on for the victory.
The victory moves the Voice into a dead tie
with the Patch for 4th place in the South
Division.
Dirty Sally's easily defeats River
Bottom 17-2
Dirty Sally's scored 17 runs on 18 hits to
easily defeat the River Bottom and move
the Bottom to the bottom of the North

M. Marchena. The River Bottom managed
their 2 runs on only 2 hits.
Barn defeats Mary's 13-4
In Sunday's finale, the Bam scored
their second victory of the weekend at the
expense of Mary's. The Barn, in this victory, is beginning to show their power
with a 15 hit attack led by D. Duncan 3 for
5, B. Trei 3 for 5 with 2 doubles, and B.
Schmidt 2 for 3 with a double and a
homerun. The victory moves the Barn up
to the heels of Mary's and obviously the
Barn now has thoughts about San
Francisco.
