Logging and Milling Team Split a Pair of Games

The Logging and Milling softball team split a pair of games on Monday night. They sailed past Clearwater Lodge who were missing some of their key players.


The Loggers two-game winning streak was snapped in the second game in a heart breaking 17-16 loss to Boeing.

Tom Nerbonne slammed a 3-run homerun far over the left field fence to put the Loggers on the board, then tripled when the team scored ten runs in the fourth.

But the "cool-under-fire" Boeing team battled back from a 15-8 deficit to tie the game at 16-16. A run in the bottom of the seventh clinched the game for Boeing. Chad Pinkleman had two homers for Boeing, both of which barely cleared the fence in short left.

"I think our new hats really gave us a boost tonight", claimed one member of the team. "Tonight was definitely our best night for hitting so far this year."

It sounds like the softball tournament for the fair weekend is a go, and Logging & Milling plans to participate.

The Loggers are looking forward to the tournament and to playing some different teams from out-of-town.

The Logging & Milling team certainly appreciates Ed Larson and IGA for offering to sponsor the upcoming tournament. We would also like to thank Chris Morley and his crew for their fine job of taking care of the ball-fields. Thanks!
