On Al Chipps' day, his Schooni's Family Restaurant team squeaked out a 7-6 win over the Lake Placid Marine team in Lake Placid Senior Softball league play last Wednesday at the Lake June Ball fields. As the league celebrated Al Chipp's 90th birthday, he made a play at the plate that helped lead to the one-run win. On this windy day, several excellent plays were made in the field for both teams, particularly in right field by Howard Carney for the Schooni's team and Larry Lane for the Lake Placid Marine team. Paul Brand, Bob Fee, Jim Guild, Paul Stephenson, Bob Sheets and Ray Hensley all had two hits each. Sheets, with one out in the bottom of the seventh, got a double and was then driven in by Ray Hensley with what proved to be the winning run for the Schooni's team. Crafty Cal Bready routinely "served" the ball to an open spot over the infield for a 4 for 4 day to lead the Lake Placid Marine effort. Dave Holloway and Bob Fox were 3 for 4 and Glenn Wearsch and Jeff Stanley were 2 for 4 in the losing effort. ...more
