Notes & Game Notes
This was the inaugural softball tournament of the newly created National Softball
Congress (NSC), preceding the International Softball League (ISL) and forerunner
to the present International Softball Congress (ISC).
Much of the content herein from the NSC, ISL and even the earlier years of the ISC
were painstakingly compiled by former ISC Historian, Art Cashion, Ft. Worth (TX).
Mr. Cashion spent countless hours reviewing outdated newspapers (thru his local library) from around the country in order to glean much of the information on this
and other ISC tournaments. We are greatly indebted to Art Cashion for the tremendous task he undertook in
compiling the early history of our organizations.
Game Notes:
Arnold Trujillo (Farm Fresh) no-hit the Oklahoma City team.
One-hitters included future ISC Hall-of-Famer, Paul Lopez (Farm (Fresh) and Eddie Feigner. Eddie Feigner (Seattle) would later go on to world-wide acclaim with the handle, The King and His Court.
Wes Priest (Reno) threw a 1-hitter and lost (1-0) to Milwaukee.
Frank Parente (Seattle) was the only player to hit 2 homeruns.
Ted Oleo (Farm Fresh) was the only player to hit two triples and did
it in the same game. Johnny Taylor (Phalanx) hit the only grand-slam homer of the tournament. Dick Mitchell hit two of only four doubles
in the entire tournament. Bob Adams, Phalanx had 4 hits in one game.
Of the 24 extra-base hits in the 16 team tournament, 13 were homers.
