SEBRING –– The Sebring Senior Softball League games form last week had no big blowouts, just moderate scores, and no budding all-stars shining. Discount Aluminum caught a lot of attention with their new classy uniform shirts and caps, plus they had a winning score of 23-14 over the Klingons. Aluminum was in the lead until the fifth inning. Klingons poured on some coal and scored 11 runs, but Aluminum put a sudden stop to that and won the game. Discount Aluminum's James Gilbert was the hot hitter by slugging out two home runs. Four players going 3 for 4 were Mike Ellis with three RBIs, Jim Larnard, Rudy Pibble and Tom Walsh each earning two RBIs. The new kid on the team, Rod Palmer, went 3 for 3 with 2 runs scored. Some of the Klingons doing their share were Don Sheets and Ross "Spider" McMinn with two home runs. It was double Bank Day when Highlands Independent Bank Avon Park and Highlands Independent Bank Sebring faced each other on the diamond. ...more
