nightÕs opening game.

for Pepsi.
Huckeby Construction was led by Chris Story with 2 hits and a home

rest of HuckebyÕs offense with a hit each.
The breeze you felt Wednesday night was caused by a collective
sigh of relief from Johnson Paving as they squeezed out an 8-6 victory
over Kelly Williams/DeKalb Health Foods to run their record to 13-0.
With their bats quieter than normal, Johnson Paving turned to some
defensive gems from Mark Neely and Johnny Painter to help preserve
the victory.
Johnson Paving was led at the plate by Gerald Clark and Matt Jolley
with 2 hits each. Gerald Clark hit 2 home runs, while Jeff Flowers
hit a home run for Johnson.
Kelly Williams/DeKalb Health Foods, playing their best game of
the year, was led by Randy Wilson, Scott Barlow, and Steve Boles
with 2 hits each.
Thursday nightÕs games, including the showdown between Pepsi and
Johnson Paving, were rained out and will be scheduled at a later
date.

the NHSFR trade show, and visit some of the best attractions in
the nation, such as Mount Rushmore, DevilÕs Tower, Yellowstone National
