P.G. Ladies Win Fast Pitch "B" Championship in Provo Tourney The Pleasant Grove Women's Softball Team recently won the Provo City "B" League (fast pitch) championship. Bringing home the first place trophy, the Fireballs, coached by Jan Randall, compiled a 10-1 record during league play. This is the first year the Pleasant Grove Recreation Dept. has sponsored a women's softball team. Since the program has proven to be a success, the Recreation Dept. hopes to have two teams entered in the Provo League next year. The following ladies played on the team during the current season: Dixie Fisher and Pam Beckstrand, pitchers; Cristy Walker catcher; Julie Poulson, first base; Sherie Ellsworth, second base; Gay Nielson, third base: Rosemay Jacklin, Carol Walace (captain), Kathy Wright, shortstop; and Diane Francom, Chris Adamson, Tami Benett and Judy Anderson, Ander-son, fielders. The team, coached by Jan Randall, and assisted by Nancy Nan-cy Gray, found that the Pleasant Grove Fireballs had a powerful hitting force. Julie Poulson and Gayle Nielson were both home run hitters. Dixie Fisher hit four triples and Gayle Nielson hit three triples. The only loss for the season for the team was a 7-4 defeat by the Provo City team. Pleasant Grove City Recreation Dept would like to eventually expand the women's league in the formation for-mation of their own city league. Women interested in playing next year should contact con-tact Bill Hoglund or Jan Randall. |
