CL SKIPPERS ELIMINATED IN RU SOUTH RACE
The Crystal Lake Skippers did all they could... they won their game, but so did RU South champion St. John as the Crusaders cinched the division crown... the Skippers' top pitcher Merle Pitts (19-13/2.90) whipped the Sugar Valley Rattlers 6-2, backed up by a 13-hit attack, which punished 21-game winner Elvis Bonham (21-15/3.40)... SS Gib Conlon (.277/24 HR/101 RBI) had a perfect 4-4 day and three RBIs... 3B Jasper Shackleford (.293/21 HR/74 RBI) homered and had three hits... and CF Mel Brouwer (.308/23 HR/92 RBI) added three hits, too... finally Crystal Lake has run out of games, but it was a good run for the second place Skippers.
