All hail the Intramural Softball Cham- pions for 1982. This past week, the ac- tion-packed, spine-tingling, full of sur- prises softball season came to a close, as the winning teams were decided in each division. The Beaver Patrol, vir- tually uncontested throughout the year, came through with the Independent 'A' championship. The Fraternity 'A' title game was a laugh. Sigma Alpha Ep- silon, which really came on toward the end of the season, destroyed hapless Triangle to capture the championship. Highly favored Bush House fell hard in the Women's 'A' final at the hands of the HB's, who were enraged at the prospect of being considered underdogs according to last week's Daily predic- tions. In another mild upset, the Nitwits were dethroned as Co-Rec chieftains. The 'wits, perennial powerhouses in all IM sports, met a determined Hit n' Run squad and succumbed, 2-1., A winner was also decided amongst the plethora of Residence Hall hopefuls. Adam'sAnts destroyed Van Tyne Var- sity, 17-5, establishing themselves as the dominant species in dormitory competition. The Law Big Dogs, strong front-runners throughout the entire season, displayed their mettle when they held off a seventh )inning rally to IM Roundup CO-REC defeat Patterson Dental Supply in the Graduate/Faculty/Staff division. So, sports fans, there is a capsuled re- cap of the 'A' division winners in sof- tball. Read on and discover how they won, along'with who captured crowns in the respective 'B' and 'C' leagues. INDEPENDENT singles and a double in the two frames, the Patrol found themselves in the unusual position of having to come back after yielding five runs to Kid Dilly's charges in the third inning. Mike Rucinski saw that the lead didn't last very long, however. Rucinski led off the third with a home run, and his squad never trailed again, adding four runs in the fourth to complete their scoring in the 9-6 victory. An 11-inning marathon decided the 'B' champion. The DT's, who ran by GTE to reach the final round, snuck past AWT when Pete Citruhr scored in the top of the eleventh. The 'C' title game was equally close, when the Crabs drowned the Navy ROTC, 8-7. The crabbed ones fought off a furious Naval charge to establish themselves as the rulers of the sea. In the 'C' division, the Rat Patrol couldn't touch the Untouchables and lost the finals 5-2. Ross Arseneau, Sheri Juergens andFrank Gasior scored fifth inning runs that erased a 1-0 deficit and put the Patrol ahead for good. The Free Basers had to eat D.I.R.T. in the 'B' division finals as they lost 12- 7. Sue Burk scored the winning run to cap a six-run fourth inning rally. for D.I.R.T. The real excitement was in the 'A' division, where Hit & Run held onto a one-run lead for five innings before finally claiming a 2-1 victory. Gary Hopps had a home run and a double to pace Hit & Run. The Nit Wits put together three hits in the second inning but only got. one run out of it. They couldn't manage another hit the rest of the way, although one runner reached base on an error in the seventh inning. This one could have been billed as the battle of the big bats. The Beaver Patrol, which simply steamrolled everyone that got in their way this season, took on Kid Ginsoe and the Dilly Bars for the 'A' title, Monday night. After springing out to a four-run lead after two innings, as a result of six WOMEN'S FRATERNITY Sigma Nu fell to Triangle in the semifinals of the A division. Sigma Alpha Epsilon then plastered Triangle in the finals, 16-1. Tim Hogan hit two home runs to pace SAE. Denis Rave added three hits and Paul Chewins went four for four. Triangle's lone run came in the fourth inning when Richard Peske hit a home run. Triangle put together three hits in the sixth inning but failed to score' again. The HB's weren't too enthralled with the fact that they had been declared underdogs in the Women's division 'A' championship playoffs. There was, however, some justification for the underdog status. After all, Bush's Bunnies had been solid all season, knocking off the perennially strong Hunt team, and putting an end to Southern Transfer's title hopes. The HB's, however, weren't just sitting around watching the Love Boat, though. They made short order of the Lady Blazers, 17-3, and received a bye to the final roupd of the playoffs. In that championship game, they jumped all over the Bunnies, pounding out a convincing 8-0 victory. Team captain Mary' Kaliardos pitched a six- hitter for the HB's, who got all the scoring they needed in a four-run first inning. Hunt House, vanquished earlier in the year by Bush, regained some integrity when it blasted W.D. Awesome 13-2, in the 'B' division championship. Cindy Mersland had three hits and scored twice for Hunt, who overcame a 2-0 deficit and blew by the Awesome ones. RESIDENCE HALLS Bridgit Bardot's Bandage Boys (BB2) bruised the Huber Rockets in the 'C' finals 8-1. BB2 pitcher William Shanahan gave up only five hits during the game. After Rex Robinson homered to lead off the game for the Rockets, they couldn't advance another runner past second base the rest of the game. Gomberg Red scored five runs in the final inning to score a 7-4 victory over Lloyd in the 'B' division finals. Darin Loyd scored the winning run for Gom- berg. Before Gomberg rallied, Lloyd had scored a run in the fourth and two in the fifth to take a 3-2 lead. In the 'A' division, Adam's Ants scored 10 runs in the first inning to begin a 17-5 rout of Van Tyne Varsity in, the finals. Jim Larman, Dave Backer and Doug Walezak all homered for the Ants. Ben Luyckx and Mark Safsen each had two hits in Van Tyne's losing effort. Last week's pick to win this division, Rumsey Blue, riding on two straight shutouts, was rudely ousted from the tournament by . . . you guessed it, Adam's Ants. G/F/S Patterson Dental Supply had to be feeling confident when it jumped out to a 7-2 lead with a four-run fourth inning burst that left the Law B ig Dogs gasping for air. The Graduate/Faculty/Staff championship was taking on the aura of a rout, and the Dental Suppliers were in control. In control that is until fifth inning. That was the beginning of the end for them. Six hits in a row yielded four runs in the fifth for the Dogs, and four more runs in the sixth sealed the victory for the Law Dogs, who used John Witri's clutch hitting to clinch the champion- ship. It seemed that law was the order for the 'B' division as Penal Action used three runs in the seventh as insurance after overcoming an early two-run .'
