One more
win
for Team Sawtooth
Men’s softball
in Boise
Wrapping
up a successful slow-pitch softball season, Team Sawtooth won the
10-team men’s middle division of the Fall Ball tournament Sunday at
Willow Lane fields, Boise.
Team
Sawtooth went 6-1 and won all five of its games Sunday, finishing its
loser bracket run with 10-7 and 11-8 triumphs over Heinz of Ontario
(Ore.) in the championship games.
Player/coach
Bob Sarchett said tough competition and excellent defense kept the
scoring to a minimum—but Team Sawtooth scored enough to capture its
second straight out-of-town tournament title.
Tournament
MVP Patrick McGee, bar manager at the Roosevelt Tavern in Ketchum,
played very well defensively in right center field and also batted .571
including two homers and 12 RBI for Team Sawtooth.
Hitting
star in the 11-8 title game triumph was left fielder Robin Sarchett
(.483, 3 HR, 14 RBI), who slapped three hits in three trips.
Right
fielder Jeff Sarchett made several dazzling defensive stops and hit
.519. First baseman Bob Sarchett batted .538 and third baseman Rod
Watson .500. Team Sawtooth also included five players from Boise.
Team
Sawtooth placed first, first, second and third in its four tourneys.
In
October, Bob Sarchett, Dave Swenke and Ric Slone plan to compete in the
World Senior Games softball competition at St. George, Utah.
