(SEAL) LEA A DECOOK, Notary Public NS30 Page 11 • Thursday, July 23, 2015 • Mahaska Co. Sports & Legals Tales of the Ancient Sportsman By BURDELL HENSLEY I am bummed. I spent all of Sunday afternoon watching my Cardinals try and sweep the Mets and it didn’t happen. They won Friday and Saturday, so they were going for three in a row today. The game went 18 innings before they blew it. What a letdown. I feel that I wasted a whole afternoon when I should have been writing. Sometimes old men get lazy and stubborn at the same time and that is a bad combination. Speaking of letdowns, I can’t think of a bigger letdown than what the Sigourney softball team suffered in Ottumwa Monday night. In a regional final game the Lady Savages had rated New London down 1-0 with two out in the bottom of the seventh. With a runner on base and two strikes on Jorgie Krieger, one more strike was needed to end the game. The pitch was there and Krieger hit it out for a winning home run. That folks is the agony of defeat. Anyone familiar with Southeast Iowa sports knows the Krieger name and the legends that go with it. My friends, Bub and Lucky Krieger of Mount Union had 12 daughters and all of them were super athletes. Other cousins and family members have added to the family lore as the year have passed. I feel bad for the Sigourney girls and commend them for an outstanding run. Good or bad, it will be a season they will never forget. The hot weather has been the theme of this week and many of the games I covered were sizzlers. Saturday night I had a very interesting game at Twin Cedars. It was a district final between Twin Cedars and Pleasantville. Last year the Sabers beat Pleasantville with a walk off home run by Coy Moore to go to state. This year the Trojans were looking for revenge. This year the game was scoreless through five innings with a pitcher’s duel raging between Otis Roby of Twin Cedars and Pleasantville’s Josh Luna. In the bottom of the sixth Pleasantville scored two runs without a hit. Two overthrows at first base produced both runs. In the top of the seventh, the Sabers got a home run from Trace Embray, but that was all as the Trojans escaped with a 2-1 win. BGM and Pleasantville will square off Tuesday at Pella for the right to go to Principal Park and the State Tourney. Last Monday I covered the PellaMarion Regional final in Oskaloosa. Pella finished fifth in the Little Hawkeye Conference, but got hot at the end and rolled into the state tourney with an easy 11-1 win over Marion. An interesting sideline to this game is that Pella Coach Krista DeMeulenaere’s family is relocating and this is her final season leading the Lady Dutch. What a way to go out, and it is the first time in history that Pella has made the state tourney. Wednesday I attended the Oskaloosa baseball tourney opener as they beat Centerville 12-3. Thursday night I was in Pleasantville for the Trojans game with Wayne and that was a 5-1 win. Things are winding down fast with only boy’s substate and girl’s state tourney games left. Monday I will be in Fort Dodge for Pella’s state tourney game and I hope to make it back in time for some of Oskaloosa boy’s game with Chariton. Last summer I was in Fort Dodge for Eddyville and Oskaloosa’s games and the city of Fort Dodge sent me the nicest picture of “Miss Scarlet” the sassy red Prius. They sure wanted a lot of money for that picture. This year I will take a different road to the Harlan Rogers Complex. I was saddened this week by the passing of Dean Heckenberg. Dean was a great baseball player in the area in the late 1930s and early 40s, and I wish I had talked to him more about his baseball career. Dean was a pitcher on the Eddyville team that finished as the state runner-up in 1940. He was contacted by a scout for the Washington Senators, threw for the scout at 10 p.m. under the street lights between what is now MidWestOne Bank and where Swim’s Sports was. The scout signed him to a contract for $175 a month and the next day he packed his bags and headed for Charlotte, N.C., where he joined the Charlotte Hornets. I find it interesting that Calvin Griffith was his first manager in pro ball. Dean bounced around in the Senator organization for a while and then WWII intervened. While in the service, Dean played for some crack military team in the Pacific and in the fabled stadium in Hawaii. The late Albert Stewart of this area also played on some of those teams. What a miserable week it had to be at the fair. The heat index was in the danger range much of the time and keeping the animals comfortable had to be a problem. I felt sorry for the kids and moms and dads as well. I must confess that I didn’t make it out this week. I was covering games at night and it was just too hot for this old guy in the daytime. It is time to see what happened in our yesterdays. 100 years ago: July 24, 1915 This letter to the editor appeared in the Oskaloosa Herald: Blood on the moon – Dear editor – The members of the Nifty Nine wish to state that the game they lost to the Tigers at the Old Ball Park on Thursday was owing to a rotten deal by the umpire.

Have a great week and let’s hope for some cooler weather. But probably not as RAGBRAI is this week ‘Like’ Us on Facebook/The Sun PCM ends Rocket Season ALBIA — The rough roller coaster season that was the Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont Rockets ended July 13 with a 13-3 loss to PCM in the Class 2A, District 11 tournament. The Rockets had a tough time on the mound giving up 11 hits and walking nine batters. Treg Vandorin got the start for the Rockets and worked his way out of a jam then saw his team score a run in the bottom of the second to knot the game at one apiece. In the second inning, PCM was prepared to do some damage, eventually loading the bases. However, Vandorin was able to wiggle out of trouble, keeping the scoring margin at one. It would be the first of three times the Mustangs would load the bases. In the bottom half, the Rockets put runners at second and third with one out, and Joey Voyles drove in a run with a sacrifice, tying the game 1-1. PCM had the bases loaded, for the first of three times in the game, with two out in the third inning. Mustang senior Connor Warrick doubled to clear the bases and give the Mustangs a 4-1 lead. Trey Lindsay poked a single to right, scoring two more to give PCM a 6-1 lead. EBF attempted a comeback in the bottom half, starting with an infield single and a double to left by Trey Moore. The next batter, KJ McCrea, sent a ball past a defender for a groundout. That scored a run to make the score 6-2. Jackson Voyles came up with another two-out hit, scoring another run to get EBF within, 6-3. PCM added three runs in the fifth and four in sixth then held the Rockets to close down the game and inning early. EBF ends the season 11-27. PCM 105 034 – 13 11 EBF 012 000 – 3 4 GRMC needs you.
