Williams (650), Brady (633) Pace Tommie Triumph

South Glens Falls - Boston Strong Balls (formerly known as the Dredgers) continued to mow down all opposition in the venerable Forever Young league, sweeping the Marauders 4-0 Thursday afternoon to move into a share of first place with a 10-2 record.

Fire And Ice took three from the vacancy behind Floyd Butler's 203-567 and stayed even with BSB. The Tomahawks and C & P each tallied three points and are tied for third at 8-4. The Lady Slippers also took three to move to 7-5. Three teams are tied for sixth with even marks of 6-6.

The Tommies' Don Williams and Roy Brady registered the only 600 or better sets of the day. Williams shot 650 on games of 236, 217 and 197 to raise his league-best average to 208, while Brady went 224-215-194 for 633. The Toms looked to have an easy sweep in hand, but the BCs stellar leadoff man Bob George (575) rolled 259 in the finale and got some capable backup from Chuck Boykin's 204 in a 559.

Mark Basso of the Yanks came oh-so-close to the magic mark, putting 223 and 213 games at the end of his 598. Ray Davignon had 203-563 and partner Chuck Winney 193-536 for Leftover. Tracy Clemmons put 189-504 on the bottom for the league leaders.
