Logging and Milling Wrap up Their Roller Coaster Season

The Logging and Milling softball team wrapped up their roller coaster season last Monday night, losing yet again to Cummings Sawmill 29-17.
It was an enjoyable game with both teams swinging the bats well, played on a perfect Alaska evening.

Joe Casey slammed a hard base hit to left field in the game, ending a personal slump and driving in a couple of runs. The key hit also yielded a large chocolate-vanilla twist for Joe from the Buffalo Drive-In.

"Joe has worked really hard on his hitting all year," said pitcher, Tommy Geyer. "It's good to see him hitting good. Joe has a lot of potential and a lot of heart. I believe he'll be a top notch outfielder next year."

The loggers certainly had their struggles this year, winning only four games and losing fifteen. "We knew it would be a tough season for us," said Tommy. "But when things didn't go well, we didn't turn on each other or point the finger. We just tried to encourage one another and stay together as a team whether we won or lost."

Softball is over now (except for a possible game with Whitestone) and the fellows are ready to go do some hunting. But we wanted to thank a few key people who organized things this year. Special thanks to Hanni Marchuch, Richard Lester, Mike Kingston, Joe Jenkins, Dan Beck (umpire), Morley, and other unsung heroes.

Also we would like to thank the Lord for the good times, the freedom that we enjoy, the good weather, and for keeping us all safe on the fields.

Until next year,
The Logging & Milling Team

PS Remember the Logger's team motto: "It's better to be lucky than good"
