Big games tonight in men's softball

By FRED CONLEY

T-H Sports Editor

The adult man and women softball leagues will try to salvage the week tonight with a full slate of games at the Sports Complex.

Both leagues were rained out on Monday.

The stakes are high tonight in men's league action -- especially for the Middle Busters and Kerby's.

The two teams will face each other for the second time this season tonight at 7 p.m.

Kerby's, at 7-1 is tied for the league's top spot with Gym 2000 while Middle Busters are 6-1, a game back of the co-leaders.

The first match against Middle Busters went to Kerby's, whose only loss is to Gym 2000. Gym 2000's lone setback came against Middle Busters.

Gym 2000 has the Head Hunters, 2-6 for the year, tonight at 7 p.m.

A Gym 2000 win and a Kerby's win will keep the two teams locked in the first-place tie.

A Kerby's loss would drop the team into third place in the league standings.

The men have five playing dates remaining for the year after tonight as ell as the district tournament in July, which will be played at Forrest City.
