One of Arizona’s all-time great softball pitchers, he pitched his teams into 10 national tournaments, finishing runners-up four times. Named Most Valuable Player in the 1948 nationals, he was voted the Leading Pitcher Award in 1949 when he set a national tournament record which still stands by striking out 79 batters. Four times an All-American pitcher, he dominated men’s major softball in Arizona from 1948 until his retirement in 1954. He is enshrined in the National Softball Hall of Fame as one of the nation’s outstanding pitchers.
