June 18, 1960 & June 18, 1985

50 Years Ago Today:

SIOUX CITY SOOS..15
FOX CITIES FOXES..2

Sioux City scored six runs in the first and seven more in the second.

Arne Thorsland got two outs in the first. Dick Hunt got the final out in the first, but did not retire a batter in the second.

The Foxes are 1-6 against Sioux City to this point of the 1960 season. They are 23-19 and still in 3rd place in the Three-I League.

25 Years Ago Today:
..............................R H E
MADISON MUSKIES 001 000 001 - 2 7 1
APPLETON FOXES..001 202 00x - 5 6 0

ATTENDANCE: 4,477

Edwin Correa allowed four hits and one run over eight innings to run his record to 5-0 since coming down from Double-A Glens Falls. Wes Kent had a pair of hits and drove in two runs for the offense.

No word on why there was such a big crowd in the game story, but they do note that it was a season high crowd. June 18, 1985 was a Tuesday. Maybe a proto 'Bang For Your Buck?'

The Foxes are 45-19 and 11.5 games up on Madison in the Northern Division of the Midwest League.
