LWC Softball closes season with a 2-0 loss in NAIA World Series

By Chris Wells

Springfield, MO - Lindsey Wilson softball's season came to an end today, falling 2-0 to No. 1-ranked Science & Arts of Oklahoma in the NAIA World Series at Killian Softball Stadium.

The No. 5 Blue Raiders close out their season with a 52-5 record. Science & Arts -- the tournament's top seed and defending national champions -- advances to face the winner of second-seeded Marian (Ind.) and eighth-seeded Georgia Gwinnett on Tuesday.

For the first time this season, Lindsey Wilson failed to score in a game. Science & Arts' Emily Cerny also limited the Blue Raiders to a season-low one hit while improving to 28-3 on the season in the center circle.

We've got a job to do: a grandson of The Shire goes to war

By Jim

In early February 1942, just weeks after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Rollin Montgomery Feese, Jr., raised his right hand and solemnly swore to defend his country as a member of the U.S. Army. Although young Feese, 29, was a native of Pulaski County, his forebears included the sturdiest of Adair County's pioneer stock, including the Feese, Montgomery, Flowers, Hindman, and Hardin families.

His parents, Rollin M. Sr., and Ella Mae Flowers Feese, were born and reared in Adair and married there, but moved to Somerset a few years prior to Rollin's birth. His mother died in Somerset in 1923 and her remains interred there.

Opinion: Please make JJ Little League Park smoke free

Columbia resident's name withheld by request, kept on file

I'd like to thank all of the volunteers who work to make our youth athletic programs a success. I am grateful for those who organize our Little League baseball and softball programs at Joe Johnson Park (as well as for our other community sports that are not in season at this time). The physical and organizational improvements to the park this year are great, and we should also thank the City of Columbia and a number of selfless individuals who have worked to make those recent changes.

That being said, we still have a major issue that plagues us. I am frustrated and appalled by the fact that we subject the children in our community to second-hand smoke at THEIR Little League park.
