Clyde Martz Wins 1973 New Castle Fall Ringer Roundup

1973 Pennsylvania State Champion Clyde Martz took top honors at the NCHC’s annual Fall Ringer Roundup Tournament held at Scotland Meadows Park, New Castle Pennsylvania. Clyde had some very strong competition but he came through in the pressure situations to finish on top. In the final playoff game with Wilbur Kabel he needed a victory for the championship. He threw 88 out of 102 for 86.2% to win 52-27.

John Ruskin gave notice to Class A pitchers that he has regained his old form as he swept Class B with a fine 73.3%

The NCHC awarded over $700 in cash prizes and trophies. The only disappointment in the tournament was the cancellation of tow classes due to rain.
