Like many other sports fans of a certain age, I’ve become entirely too wrapped up in Immaculate Grid. The game, which gives you nine chances to fill nine boxes with players who share something in common on the horizontal and vertical axes, is a golden opportunity to Remember Some Guys. Rememberin.
BUCYRUS - The city will seek bids for repaving projects in four city-owned parking lots at an estimated cost of almost $400,000.
During Thursday s regular joint committee meeting, members of the Bucyrus City Council Public Lands and Buildings Committee voted to move forward with the proposal presented by Dave Engle of Makeever and Associates, the city s engineering firm.
The plan includes City Lot 3, behind the Crazy Fox and Dillinger s Entertainment Center, at an estimated cost of $120,500; City Lot 5, behind American Legion Post 181, $103,285; City Lot 6, near Picking Park, $90,977; and part of the service garage lot, $83,841.
The total estimated cost of the work, just over $398,600, will be funded in part by the sale of a garage on Ohio 4, a Mary Street property and the former City Lot 2 to Baker s Pizza and Sports Shack last year.
Result
As in Game 2, the Game 6 rematch between aces Brad Havens and Ray Scarborough was decided by one bad inning.
In this case, the bad inning came earlier.
And it was much, much worse.
‘81 batted around in the first, sending 11 men to the plate and scoring seven runs to take a dominant lead they would not lose, claiming victory by an 8-1 tally and knotting the series at three.
Scarborough’s struggles started one batter into the game, as Gary Ward sent a fly ball over the left field wall for an early 1-0 lead. After a strikeout, Scarborough loaded the bases on a walk and two singles, and Kent Hrbek sent a fly to center deep enough to score John Castino.
Smalley’s ninth-inning two-run home run turned a 9-8 defeat into a 10-9 victory as
‘81 pushed the Selig Sectional to a fifth game.
‘56, trailing 8-6 in the bottom of the eighth, had taken the lead on Lou Berberet’s three-run double, unwittingly setting up Smalley’s heroics.
Before the late-inning chaos, there was early- and middle-inning chaos as
‘81 saw a 6-1 lead turn into a 6-6 tie. Having taken the lead on a Dave Engle three-run homer and extended it through the third and fourth innings,
‘56 used big hits of their own to tie the score, Herb Plews driving in three on a double in the fourth and Jose Valdivielso’s two-run single tying the game an inning later.
