Stickmen win in playoffs To take JC conference flag It took a brace of victories over Phoenix College in a playoff series for the GCC Gauchos to settle a first place deadlock in the hottest conference battle in Arizona JC baseball history. In the final two weeks of the season, Phoenix Col- lege, Arizona Western and the champion Gauchos all had a shot at the flag. Finishing the season with an amazing 9 game win streak, Coach Herb Boetto's bat- tlers had streaked to a I5-5 record, only to find themselves tied with the PC Bears. The Gauchos had dropped a pair to the Bears in their last meeting, but the team had really ielled in the meantime, winning all the big ones. Jim Montoya and Mike Boyce picked up the playoff wins with the relief help of Jack Snyder each time. The win string was extended to I3 straight as Dixie College of Utah fell before the GCC blitz and the arms of Snyder and Montoya. Next stop was Grand Junction, Colorado and the opponents Treas- ure Valley, Oregon JC. The goal was Far Western honors and the right to enter the national cham- pionships at Grand Junction. Playing baseball at an amazing .750 pace, the Gauchos rung up 30 victories in 40 games played to reach the district finals. Well bal- anced offensive and defensive play backed up the stout pitching pro- vided by Boyce QIO-2D, Snyder C8-25, and Montoya C6-55.
