Show tm The Winners Lose And The Losers Win it'. ... '&& " - . ; s.- Nancy MacKelvey drills one for Prospector Square Men's Softball action during the past week saw the only undefeated team defeated and a winless team win. And in the ladies' league, Prospector Pros-pector Square continued to roll over its opponents. The shocker of the week was the Excitable Boys' 10-8 victory over the previously perfect Park City Players on Wednesday, July. 11. The Players had been coasting on top of Division II with a 5-0 record while the Excitable Boys were a not-too-impressive 2-3. Despite the loss, the Play ers retained the division lead and rebounded Sunday with a down-to-the-wire 17-16 win over Spencer's Autos. Trailing throughout the game, Spencer's pulled to within one in the bottom of the seventh. With men on second and third and two out, first baseman Geoff Specht flied to recently returned right fielder Jim Totora to end the game. As of Tuesday, the Players held a 1 1 2 game lead over the steadily improving Wood-haus Wood-haus with the second place team favored to beat Was- atch Homes last night. In another surprise outcome, out-come, a revamped Pirates team registered their first win of the season over the Old Men on Sunday. The Pirates came from behind in the bottom of the seventh to score two runs and take a 14-13 victory. With his team down by one run, a man on first and two out, John Whitely sent a fly down the left field line. Old Man Mike Doilney made a dive for the ball but dropped it as he crashed to the ground. Although the flight of the ball was in foul territory, umpire Pat Brennan ruled Doilney had his feet in fair territory when he first touched it, making the ball playable. This tied the game and put Whitely on third. Left fielder Garry Mears then grounded up the middle for what looked like the final out but a wild throw allowed Whitely to score, giving the Pirates their first win in seven attempts. In other men's play, the Drywallers beat Meeks Wirthlin 13-11 last week and the Division I leading Alamo Bums handcuffed the Outlaws Out-laws 22-5 in a five-inning mercy rule game. The Outlaws Out-laws have yet to win a game. On Sunday, the Big Shots continued to slump, losing 18-7 to Doc's Back Door. The Brothers had little trouble with Wasatch Homes, blasting blast-ing them 15-0 in five innings and the streaking Mad Jacks won their fifth in a row, downing the Drywallers 8-4. Ladies League Appearing unstoppable in the ladies league and sporting sport-ing the only perfect record in either league, Prospector Square scored 60 runs in two contests to remain a full game ahead of the second place Red Banjo. The Squares have been awesome at the plate all season and the story was no different this week. On Sunday they blasted the Yacht Club out of the water 30-9 and then served up a 30-0 five-inning club sand-which sand-which to the Mt. Air Cafe. The Banjo, whose only loss has been to the Squares, continued to hang close, boating the Yacht Club on Monday, 22-14.

Suffering from what coach Alamo Dave Mueller called a "lackadaisical start," the Muckers allowed Bald Mountain Moun-tain to register - a try, conversion kick and penalty kick in the first 25 minutes of play. But Park City then began to, regain some of its vigor and John Sundquist put four Park City points on the board with ten minutes remaining in the half. Sundquist scored off a backline movement after Steve "Nipper" Ander son recovered his own pop kick near the Bald Mt. goal. Anderson then handed the ball to Sundquist in support for the try. The conversion was missed. Fullback Anderson is a former Mucker star who has been out of the area for several years. He was visiting visit-ing Park City last week and was pressed into1 duty. : Unfortunately, Un-fortunately, Anderson suffered suf-fered a severely injured knee during his return to action. The injury came about 10 minutes into the second half with Park City trailing 9-4. Bald Mt. moved the ball near the Mucker goal and their ball carrier dove for the line. The dive was met by Anderson and Rocky Collins. All three collided, the try was good and Anderson was out of the game. Bald Mt. missed the kick but they led 13-4. Park City then began playing play-ing in earnest. All but abandoning their backline play, the Muckers began kicking to their forwards and used a series of rucks to move the ball downfield. Three minutes after the Bald Mt. try, Rick Phaler broke from a ruck near the try line and scored. Skip Schirf made the conversion and Park City had narrowed the gap to 13-10. The Muckers then mounted another series of attacks and drove to within 10 yards of the Bald Mt. goal. They had several chances for trys off rucks but failed to get the ball over the line. Just as it appeared Park City might take the lead, the game took a dramatic turn. The ball was given to Schirf near the goal but he was hit immediately, causing the ball to pop loose. A Bald Mt. player plucked off the errant sphere and rambled over a hundred yards for the game's crucial try. The kick was good and the Muckers were behind 19-10. Park City responded with a try of its own, using the same type of kicking, rucking offense. Once again, Phaler broke from a ruck. This time he passed to Jeff Wallace in support and Wallace put the ball down near the posts. Schirf's kick was true and the score was 19-16. With very little time left in the 1 game, Park'.City was called for an infraction and Bald Mt.'s penalty kick was good, making the final score 22-16. "We played some good segments of rubgy," coach Mueller said after the game, "but we were too inconsistent." inconsis-tent." Park City's next game will come in the Ski Town Tournament, which it will be hosting July 28 and 29. Teams from Aspen, Aspen highlands',-; Breckenridge, Vail, Steamboat, Sun Valley and Jackson Hole will compete com-pete in the two-day tournament.
