Dale Little League All-Stars took the championship trophy at Newburgh on Aug. 6 to capture that invitational tourney; but could not withstand the attack put up by Chrisney in the Lincolnland Little League tourney at Dale. They did hammer out wins in six of seven ball games in seven days!
At Newburgh, Dale All-Stars knocked out the hosts behind the clubbing of Pat Crews with a pair of hits, Philip Wahl, Jeff Schaefer and Pat Dicus with singles to nail down a 6-3 victory. They then went ups against Evansville Highland and bombarded them with a pair of home runs by Jeff Schaefer, singles by Mike and Pat Crews and Pat put in a good day’s work by twirling a one-hitter to show the way to a 3-2 win.
In the championship game on Saturday, the big bats of Dale sang out again!

Dale hosted the Lincolnland Little League tourney while the tourney was going on at Newburgh and came very near clinching that title also, if chrisney had not stepped in their way!
