AA SOFTBALL TEAM TAKES ADVERTISING LEAGUE PENNANT WITH PERFECT RECORD
Drops Playoffs in Final Game
Playing in its first year of league competition, The Athletic Association Softball team copped first honors in the City Advertising League. The team amassed a perfect record of eleven wins and no defeats in league competition and an equally commendable record of six wins and no defeats in pre-season practice games.
The title, however, was not won with the ease the record might indicate. Only after a final game with Hershon Garfield was the title assured. That final game was one necessitated by a prior game with the same outfit, a game which ended in a tie and a game in which NBC had to come from behind in the last inning. Bob DePoto's bases loaded triple kept alive the team's chances.
In the final game, NBC won a close decision, 4-3 In the sixth inning Ray Dillon walked to be driven home by Bob Henratty's triple for what proved to be the winning margin and league title.
In a post-season playoff series, the NBC team continued its record through the semi-finals but lost a best of three series in the final game to Hershon Garfield. In one of these games Gary Iorio pitched a one hit shut-out.
Playing for the club were: Bill Lynch, 2nd base; Gary Iorio, pitcher; Ray Dillon, shortstop; Bob Henratty, center field; Bob DePoto, short field; Jack Marshall, left field; Prank Gibbs, right field; Al Vecchione, third base; Ed Steiner, catcher; Bill Quinn, first base; and spares Walt Law, Jess Frankfort, Charles Zucker, Prank Woodruff, Ed, Hale and Don Salviola. Outstanding fan honors go to Diane LaPerch.
