MAKING A DELAYED START ON A GROUND THAT HAD BEEN SOAKED WITH OVERNIGHT RAIN, local softballers last Sunday served up a programme that will be long remembered for its many elose finishes and the high standard of play attained. ·
Commencing the six-game" schedule, the Wildcats and the 'Baby Panthers battled to a 10-7 decision, in favour of the former, after five frames of exclting play. The losers led 6-4 up to the fourth and looked likely to provide an upset, only to have the Wildcats come from behind with a six-run rally on five hits to reverse the advan- tage.
