Two championship games for the Independent Order of Odd Fellows San Lorenzo Valley Men’s division Softball League were played last Wednesday at the Highlands Park in Ben Lomond.
In division B, two underdogs – third at the regular season’s end, the Sharks met the fourth place Mountain Mechanics, who held a seemingly comfortable lead through the championship game’s first 6 1/2 innings, and went into the bottom of the seventh with a five points lead.
But then the Sharks, known for the last inning rallies, loaded bases twice and, with fewconsecutive single runs, started chipping away at the Mountain Mechanics lead.
With two out and some outstanding last ditch defense, though, the latter prevailed, 15 – 14, and claimed the championship.
Chris Amos was a winning pitcher, Sharks’ Robert Smith the losing one.
In the division’s A game, Mud Dogs beat the Flingers 12 – 9.
