Veteran’s Open Recap
EPHPA
Selinsgrove Indoor Courts
Thank you to everyone who turned out for
the Veteran’s Open. Our indoor season got off to a great start with 34
pitchers, including several veterans and TWO new NHPA members: Mike Hand,
from southeastern PA, and Lauren Foster, the daughter of Justin Foster.
Lauren brought her expertise as a softball pitcher to the horseshoe courts and
threw 10 ringers in her first ever tournament. Way to go Lauren!
She may have thrown more if she pitched from 40 feet! Mike Hand came to
us courtesy of Ted Bowers, and performed very well in his first NHPA
tournament, finishing 3rd in
Class B. In fact, Mike’s very first shoe pitched in a sanctioned
tournament was a ringer! Lucky me. Thanks
to Ted Bowers for bringing us yet another new member and skilled pitcher.
A
special thank you to JoAn Douglas and Steve Swisher,
neither of whom pitched, but sat in a chair all day and
kept score. I truly appreciate it. Please see the results on the
website for class winners. Thanks again to all who participated and
helped.
