Plumbers lose final berth in playoff
in extra innings at Moorefield
The Goderich Little
Plumbers held on for 14
innings against
Moorefield August 16
before dropping a 9-8
decision and losing their
only chance to make the
Western Ontario Ladies
Fastball League playoffs.
The Plumbers needed a
win against Moorefield to
nail down eighth spot in
the final standings of
their 10 team league.
Eight of the ten teams
enter playoffs.
The Plumbers enjoyed
a two run edge in the
bottom of the ninth but a
fielding error with two
out allowed Moorefield to
push the tying run over.
Undaunted the
Plumbers notched the go
ahead run in the second
extra inning but errors
wiped the edge out.
Moorefield tied the game
up a second time.
In the 14th inning
-Goderich looked like a
sure bet. Sue and Mary
Kolkman started the
inning with singles. Diane
Melick moved them both
around with a sacrifice
and a Moorefield error
put Goderich ahea.d 8-6.
The Plumbers con-
tinued to make fielding
errors giving up two
unearned and one earned
run in the bottom of the
inning. Judy Nahrgana
reached base on an error
to start the inning and
scored on a double by
Terry Bramhill. Patti
Youngblut singled and
moved to third on an
error that scored
Bramhill. Ginny Franklin
delivered a two out single
to score Youngblut and
end the season for the
Little Plumbers.
Goderich enjoyed one
big inning against
Moorefield. The Plum-
bers pushed five runs
over in the fourth inning
to wipe out a two run
deficit. Bev Wright
started the inning with a
