The Champion softball team.

It was the battle of egos, a match fitting a group of ego­ tistical, opinionated print journalists versus a group of loud-mouthed, brash disc jockeys and television hopefuls. Yes, it was the annual batde on the softball diamond between the Liberty Champion and WLBU Radio/TV at Peaksview Park last Saturday. The playing field was wet but playable when the contest began. Heavy rain showers during the game, however, turned the playing field into a muddy pig pen. WLBU scored eight runs in the top of the third inning to take a 11-3 lead and then held off a ferocious Champion rally for a 13-12 win. But who cares about the outcome, right?
