St. George Men Plate 4 in 6th To Silence St. Sebastian, 10-6
Entering the past week of St. Bart’s Oldtimers Men’s Softball League action, seven of the eight teams were within two games of each other for the possibility of grabbing the No. 2 spot, while the St.Anthony squad was perched way ahead of the herd at the top spot. With identical records at 58 and sharing the shallow cellar with St. Wolfgang, the St. George boys managed to snap a 6-6 tie with four runs in the top of the sixth inning then held on to defeat St. Sebastian, 10-6, at Brookside Park on July 19 ( the day before the 55th Anniversary of Man’s landing on the Moon).
