Monday, July, 31 saw Camp Timberlane defeat Camp Algonquin in a game of softball played by the Senior All-Stars. The game was played at Algonquin, and the final score was 7 to 5. Timberlane jumped ahead early, and though Algonquin was never behind by more than a couple of runs, they were not able to overcome Timberlane’s tough defense.

Winning fielding honors were third baseman Steve Schachter and shortstop Rick Mandel. Both made several outstanding plays to put out Algonquin rallies with clutch fielding. More than once Steve Schachter had to tag a man twice his size coming towards him. Mandel, called "The Vacuum Cleaner", was making great fielding gems, one after another.

Hitting stars included Joey Pierce, who had a couple of hits and two rbi’s; and Dave Levering. Timberlane would have had more runs, had it not been for two double plays and several other spectacular plays by the Algonquin fielders.
The Senior All-Stars are now 1-1 against Algonquin this summer, having lost a previous game played first session. The week prior to the senior’s game, both the intermediate and junior teams won hard-fought games. The intermediates and the juniors are both 2-0 this year.

Senior All-Star coaches Ed Fried and Jeff Mossler feel the key to their teams success last week was the key hitting which was not prevalent in the earlier loss. Fried was particularly referring to the many runners that were left on base.
