The double elimination four -team South Perth Ladies Fastball tourna- ment saw the Chiefs streak through the day unscathed, even though the final game against the Exeter Greys made for one of the most dramatic finishes possible in fastball. Crediton and Sebringville were eliminated earlier in the day; Credi- ton falling to St. Pauls 5-2, and then to Exeter 6-1. The Greys found themselves in the difficult position of having to defeat the Chiefs twice in order to claim the league championship. It wasn't to be. The Greys held an early 2-1 lead in the final game, but watched the Chiefs go ahead 5.2 by the bottom of the sixth inning. Down to her last pitch on Exeter's last out at the top of the seventh, Gayle Beuermann found a hole 4ihrough which to get the ball to the 'back fence. The two -RBI home Arun saw Exeter tied 5-5, renewing Tropes to either clinch it then, or go pato extra innings. The rally was cut short, however, giving 'the .Chiefs their chance to finish off the Greys. St. Pauls' Terri Griffith also found:. a hole in Exeter's .defense, sending the ball deep.into.the then - dark outfield. Running it out, she edged out the throw with a dramat- ic .slide across home plate, giving `_her team the one -run advantage they needed. Griffith was hoisted to her teammates shoulders as they celebrated their season -end win. "It was a good championship game," acknowledged Greys' coach Georgina Reynolds, who said she was proud of the way the . team fought back from a "shabby" start earlier in the day. Mystery uniform found in trunk at Soldan farm *Dee Soldan models the uniform which might have been worn by one her relatives many years ago. EXETER - Mike Soldan is trying to solve a mystery. The Exeter resident has conic across a ladies' ball uniform which dates back at least prior to 1957. Recently, Soldan came across the woolen uniform which was worn by a team called the Zurich Lumber Queens and sponsored by Kalb- fleisch Mills. There was a Zurich Lumber Kings hardball team which played in rite 1960's and 70's but Soldan says no,one scents to recall the Lumber Queens. Soldan first notified the Times -Advocate on Thursday about his find which he came across in an old trunk on the family farm on Hu- ron Road 31 near Zurich. "That trunk has been ;dere .since Is 15 and I never looked through it," said Soldan. • The uniform whicli is in excellent condition is entirely made out o wool - socks, which arc identical to hockey socks, a cap, buuon u jersey and pants no doubt were very uncomfortable to wear. The cap is red, the socks are red and white while the uniform itse is grey with red trim. Solcfan said the trunk, which had a newspaper in the -bottom datin to 1957, was owned by his aunt Elsie Case of Hensall who along wi her husband Garnet owned an operated a local bakery. "It's a complete mystery. 1 think it would be fun to see who fru Zurich played on that team." If anyone has information about the team, call Mike Soldan at 235 2045. Becky Morgan, above, of the Crediton Ladies Fastball team serves up her best pitches for the team's final game against Exeter Satur- day afternoon. Left, Lisa Henderson keeps her eye on the ball for this catch in the Exeter Greys game against Crediton Satur- day afternoon. "We did well," said Reynolds. "My pitchers did well today, and the bats got better as the day went on." However, even if Exeter had sur- vived that last game against St. Pauls, they would fiave had .to go back out onto the field and face the Chiefs again to take the champion- ship. Even that seemed too much to expect against a team that has reigned at the top of the league all season long.
