In South St. Louis Corkball League play last night Markwort Sporting
Goods and pitcher Jeff (the ironman) Vilmer squared off against Tim
Kobler and Reinhold Electric. With two of the leagues top pitchers
on the mound you would have expected a low scoring event. But this
wasn't the case. After a scoreless first inning Markwort loaded the
bases and punched one across to take the lead in the second. But
Electric answered back with four runs of their own in one inning to
take a 4 to 1 lead. They then added another few runs on a Kobler
triple and lead the game 6 to 1. Trailing by 5 Markwort then went to
work. In thier last at bat they loaded the bases and punched 4 runs
across the plate making it a 6 to 5 game. With bases still loaded
and two out Kobler struck out the rookie John Amorso with one of his
nasty knuckly curves to end the game. What a game!

In another suprising development, the big lefty Mike Jockish actually
lost a game. With the bases loaded and two out Jeff Greaves, one of
the leagues best hitters, stepped into the batters box to do battle
with the mighty Jock. Greaves got the best of the battle this time
delivering a base hit to right field and giving Jock his first lost
of the year.
