The monument is made from rocks Jay always puts in his pocket each time Lisa strikes out an opponent. The rocks come from all over the U.S., wherever the Top Ten Flyers have played. Dad's hobby produces monument in honor of daughter's softball pitching Jay Hall, an avid fan of the Top Ten Flyers and father of the Flyer's first-string pitcher, Lisa Hall, watches a lot of softball games, but very few from the bleachers. He is often seen along the sidelines and spectators only need ask him how many batters his daughter has struck out in the game. He keeps track by putting a small rock in his pocket for each strikeout. Last week he made a monument from 452 rocks he had collected during the 1986 season and thus far in 1987. Spotlighted in front is a larger, smoother stone with the letters S-U-E painted on to indicate a highlight in Lisa's season when she struck out her pitching coach. Last season while in South Dakota to compete in the nationals, the team's host family donated a bag of quartz for the family hobby. Lisa was named Outstanding Pitcher in the Copper Classic Tournament held in Salt Lake City in June. |
