KUNZE HURLS CROIX VALLEY GLASS TO 1994
RICE LAKE CHAMPIONSHIP
RICE LAKE-Croix Valley Glass of Stillwater, Minnesota,
tournament champions in 1992 and 1991, returned to the Rice Lake
Invitational after a one year absence and resumed their dominance by
posting five consecutive victories en route to the '94 crown.
Russ Kunze fashioned three strikeouts in succession
after arch-rival Scandia-Minnesota Computers had placed runners at first
and third to open the seventh inning, preserving a 2-1 championship game
victory. Croix Valley had defeated the Scandia club by an identical
score in the winners bracket final.
