Pony Blue moves closer to World Series
with win in region chaiftpionship game
By MARK KRAMER
The Baytown 14-year-old
Pony Blue all-star team has high
hopes about making it all the
way back to the national tourna-
ment this year. Friday night, the
Blues took a step in the right di-
rection as it defeated Manchaca
8-4 in the championship game in
the Exxon BTBA Coast Region
Tournament at Jenkins Patk.
By clinching the Coast Reg-
ion title, Baytown advances into
the South Zone Tournament to
be held in Pasadena Monday.
The winner there will then go to
the Pony League World Series
in Washington, Pennsylvania.
, Baytown Manager Charlie
McClosky was very pleased
__ _ with the win, but he knows that
his team still has a long way to
go before making it back to
nationals.

Pugh heads
to Olympic
training camp
After taking a silver medal in
the 114-pound weightlifting
class during the United States
Olympic Festival, Jerri Pugh of
the Weighting Place’ was
selected to attend the U.S.
Olympic Training Center in Col-
orado Spring, Colo.
Pugh will be at the Olympic
Training Center for two weeks
beginning Aug. 19.
In the Olympic Festival com-
petition in Minneapolis, Minn.,
Pugh had a 99-pound (45 kilo-
gram) lift in the snatch and a
132-pound (60 kilogram) effort
in the clean and jerk for a
231-pound (105 kilogram) total
which earned her second place.
At the Olympic Training Cen-
ter, Pugh will work with Tommy
Kono, who has recently been in-
ducted into the Olympic Hall of
Fame. During his active lifting
career, Kono established many
world records and won two
Olympic and six world champ-
ionships. In addition, he placed
second four different times in
the annual voting for the Sulli-
van Award.
Kono also coached the Mexi-
can National weightlifting team
for three years and in the 1968
Olympics, then coached the
West German team for four
years and during the 1972
Olympics. He then returned to
the United States, residing in
Hawaii. He is taking a leading
role in the development of the
U.S. lifters.
Pugh is somewhat familiar
with the training and teaching
methods of Kono. In 1977, her
coach, Otto Ziegler, was
selected to assist Kono at a five-
day clinic following the: Na-
tional Junior Olympics in Kan-
sas City. The club, then khown
as the Baytown Athletic Club,
won the National Team title that
year. - -

go,” said McClosky. Our goal is
to make it to the big thing (na-
tionals), but we realize that we
have to play every game one at a
time. But I think we have the
team to do it.”
McClosky also praised the
pitching performance of Robert
Fullick, who came in relief of
Chuck Presley and Ernesto
Flores. In the third, he had a
shaky inning, where he walked
the bases loaded, he pitched out
of the jam and as he got the win
and yielded only four hits on his
six-inning stint. The victory on
the mound was especially sweet
for Fullick since he had not
pitched in three months, due to a
stress fracture in his pitching
The victory did not come eas-
ily for Baytown as it fell behind
4-2 after two innings, but after
Baytown coming back to tie the
game, Pat McLendon rapped his
second hit of the night as he
singled in Carl McClosky in the
fifth inning to give Baytown a
5-4 lead. From that point on
things only got worse for
Manchaca.
“Once again, they (the team)
showed a lot of heart,” said
McClosky. “We got behind
early, but we never gave up.
'Whenever someone is having an
off game, someone picks up the
slack. That’s how this team is,
they pick each other ug.”
Baytown added on to rn lead
in the sixth as Patrick Foley
singled and stole third. Then,
Brent Emerson hit a dribbler in
front of the plate and reached on
an infield single. During the
play, Manchaca relief pitcher
Eric French tried to throw Foley
out at third, but his throw sailed
high and Foley scored. After
moving to third on a ground out,
Emerson scored on a McClosky
high-chop infield single. Bay-
town then expanded its lead to
8-4, when Jason Derrett slapped
a single up the middle to score
McClosky. Baytown then retired
the side in order the seventh to
wrap up its regional title.
Manchaca opened up the
game as J.D. Gutierrez slapped a
single to right, but then he was
caught off first on Joe Torres’
fly ball to right fielder to com-
plete a double play. Baytown
then wasted no time getting on
the scoreboard in the bottom of
the frame.
McClosky started things off
with a walk and stole second
base. After moving to third and
a wild pitch, he scored on Jason
Riley’s ground out. McLendon
doubled off the left field wall off
of losing pitcher Andrew Mor-
ales. Then, with two outs
McLendon attempted to steal
third and Manchaca catcher Tor-
res made a wild throw trying to
throw him out and Baytown
took a 2-U lead as McLendon
cruised in home.
In the second, Manchaca took
a 4-2 lead, as walks hurt starting
pitcher Presley. After giving up
two singles to Pete Martinez and
Mike Sifuentez, Martinez scored
on a wild pitch. After the bases
were walked loaded, Presley
walked in two runs to give Man-
chaca,a-3-2 lead. Gutierrez then
gave Manchaca a 4-2 lead with
his single off of Flores, Bay-’
town’s second pitcher.
Baytown would then make up
for its mistakes in the bottom of
the inning, as it tied the game up
as McClosky scored on Vacek’s
single. Vacek later scored the ty-
ing run on a David Carsey fiel-
der’s choice.

Welch, Gore accept LU track offer
*18" P155R13 *29" P155R13
By MIKE SIMMONS
If Gene Bosse is correct, the
Lamar University track and field
program has landed two dia-
monds in the rough in Robert E.
Lee graduates Mon Gore and
Paul Welch. ^
Gore and Welch accepted
scholarships to Lamar earlier ip
the summer and, according to
Bosse, has been working hard
this summer preparing for their
collegiate career. The IM track
coach feels the dub have the ta-
lent to make their mark with the
Cardinals.
“I felt they were college ma-
terial because I don’t think
they’ve reached their full poten-
tial yet,” Bosse said. “Paul is
still a growing kid who is going
to mature later than a lot of kids,
Jason hasn’t been running that
long, so he’ll get better as he
gets more experience. I think
they’ll both improve."
Welch was a part of Bosse’s
track program for four years and
spent the final three as a varsity
member of the track and cross
country teams. Gore decided to
go out for track as a junior and
competed in cross country for
one year.
According to Bosse, the two
distance runners weren’t sure
what avenue to take once they
graduated, but Lamar’s offer ul-
timately won them over.
“I knew (the Lamar recrui-
ters) were talking to them before
Bealls
the end of school, but I don’t
think they knew what they
wanted to do,” he said. “One of
them was talking about going to
Lee College and staying close to
home, but then they both talked
it over and decided to go (to
Lamar).”
The Cardinals will be getting
disciplined as well as talented
runners in Welch and Gore, ac-
cording to Bosse.
“They were excellent kids for
me as far as work habits go,” he
said. “They always knew what
they had to do and did it. You
didn’t have to stay on them, they
were always willing^ to work
hard.”
The Cardinals hope that kind
of attitude will indeed make
Gore and Welch the running
prizes Bosse feels they can
become.- - . . *
