In the finals on Tuesday, Coach
Joe Ollendick’s crew staged an
incredible comeback in the bot
tom of the seventh inning to take
top trophy honors from Creigh
ton.
Lyle Stewart started on the
mound for O’Neill, scattering five
hits throjgh the first five frames
while relying on strong infield
support to pull him through any
enemy scoring threats. Two un
earned runs followed by two hits
in the sixth brough on southpaw
Keith Reynoldson with one down
and runners on second and third.
Considerable credit must be given
to the little lefty who came in
cold from the bench and retired
the side on two pitches. The third
Creighton run scored on an in
field out and the next hitter lifted
a high fly to left field on the
first pitch to retire the side with
three runs in.
With the comfort of a three-run
lead, Creighton called upon big
Jerry Closter to coast through
the final two frames. But O’Neill,
who remembered Closter’s one
hitter of a year ago that cut short
district tournament chances at
the old Carney Park, was not
about to go down without taking
a full cut.
The result was a three-run
seventh inning that sent the game
into an extra frame. Gary Brews
ter and Terry Kurtz walked and
advanced to second and third to
begin the surprising seventh.
Then Rich Hill, no little fellow
himself, tied into 6’ 8” Closter’s
3-2 pitch and sent a screaming
single down the right-field line
that scored Brewster and placed
runners on first and third. Lyle
Stewart came on with one down
and went down swinging, but the
Wall nrvrvrujiI f»*. .m tUn
the two-day classic, and Keith
Reynoldaon's relief role was not
to be overlooked.
