Incidentally, the Longest Day was the day THREE important games were decided in extra innings. After the Nuts and Cascades finished their 14 innings, the Apostles took 10 to subdue the stubborn Henways, and then the Sadist-Faction, who had virtually been eliminated from playoff contention when upset by Organized Confusion, and the Magic Co. went 24 innings before the Com- pany won a game crucial to them. The win kept alive the Company’s chances of cap- turing 2nd place the next day in the game with the Cascades, but the Cascades scored twice in the last of the 7th to eliminate the Company, 4-3. When the Tuf-Nuts edged the Cascades and the Apostles crunched the Jocks to dispose quickly of the playoffs, the Nuts had their second championship rematch of the year. But just as the Zoo had shattered the Nuts’ fragile composure in the fall with its For the trivia fans, Louie Perez (below) was the 143rd and last out of the historic 24 inning game won by the Magic Co., 1-0, over the Sadist-Faction. The second out in the last of the 24th, Perez grounded to 2nd. Jim Krajenta and Joe Brezik then reached on errors, and Peyton Turk’s single scored Kra- jenta to end a 7-hour afternoon of softball that had begun with 10 and 14 inning games. flea-flicker touchdown pass, so in similar fashion did the Apostles win the World Series in the spring with one inning. After 3 innings of the first game the Tuf-Nuts were clinging to a hard-earned 3-2 lead when the roof fell in. The Apostles pushed across four runs, the crowning blow delivered by Greg Walton’s 2-run homer, and from here on the Nuts played in a daze. The Apostles won game one, 6-3, and while the Tuf-Nuts looked on in detatched interest, they won the second game too, 6-0, just to make it official. Indicative of the Tuf-Nuts frustration was Semptimphelter’s senseless attempt to stretch his leadoff single in the 7th inning of the second game after a short over- throw, and Rodney Tieken’s careless baserunning an out later. Both men were tagged out, and the Tuf-Nuts counted out. Apostles Terry Bauer (left) and Kenney Garcia (right) look concerned about Joe Kelly’s (center) pitching, but after the 3rd inning of the first game it was the Tuf-Nuts who were concerned as Kelly shut them out the rest of the way while Kevin Burns inexplicably struggled. 107
