STATE SOFTBALL TOURNAMENT.
Refugio.—Reilly’s Rebels, of
Refugio, came within a hair’s
breadth of becoming state soft-
ball champions of Texas last
week end . . . and had they
made it to the very top it is
doubtful that any other team
could have done it any tough-
er.
The Rebels, sponsored by the
ever - interested Allen Reilly,
went all the way to the finals
before losing to Abilene, 3-2.
The loss came at the end of
a long, tough, soul-searing,
tongue-blistering tourney that
saw the Rebels make one of
the most amazing comebacks
ever recorded in a state soft-
ball tournament.
The tourney, staged in Brown-
wood, attracted the absolute
best of the softball teams in
Texas. A review of the names
of the cities sending teams to
the tournament reflects the
scope of the state event. Teams
were entered from Lubbock,
Odessa, Mineral Wells, Sul-
phur Springs, Port Arthur,
Victoria, Ft. Hood, Killeen,
Denton, Big Spring, Wichita
Falls, Brownwood, Amarillo,
Austin, Lake Jackson, Midland,
San Marcos, Refugio, two from
Abilene, Matagorda, and Beau-
mont.
Refugio’s loss was to the top
Abilene team of the two en-
tered.
Now . . . let’s talk about Re-
fugio’s drive to the state finals
After the first game, it ap-
peared as though Refugio’s
Rebels had made a long, long-
trip for nothing. In the very
first game, the Rebels were
defeated . . . losing to Lubbock,
5-1. In the words of Allen Reil-
ly, “we played very poorly . . .,
making lots of errors . . . and
we deserved to lose.”
The tournament was double
elimination ... so the Rebs
had only one loss left. But, op-
posing teams were to learn that
that second defeat was indeed
difficult to pin on the Rebs.
After the Lubbock loss, the
Rebels zipped through SEVEN
straight foes — whipping San
Marcos (7-0); Mineral Wells
(9-0); Amarillo (5-0); Big
Spring (1-0); Beaumont (5-1);
Wichita Falls (5-3); and Lub-
bock (2-0).
This drive from the very lip
of oblivion put the Rebels in
the Sunday afternoon finals
against Abilene. In the finals,
the Rebels held two leads, 1-0,
and 2-1; but lost each. Then,
in the 6th inning, Abilene broke
through for a run that won the McClure, as he was touched
