Dave Weaver - Voice of Slo-Pitch

There are just two undefeated teams left in Tillsonburg Slo-Pitch. Corey's Restaurant in Ladies A and Diamond Dogs in Men's D lead their respective divisions after each won twice last week.

Last week's Sammy Krenshaw's Fun Puzzle winner was Bernita Jordan who correctly answered Clark Kent using the names found in the column of Dan Clark and Kent Collings. I am receiving a very favourable response to the contest and to quote one entrant, "It makes me scrutinize the entire column rather then just reading about my own division." Thanks Steve!

This week's Sammy's Fun Puzzle: One person is the CEO of duck calls and the other one is the founder and inventor.

Clue: Duck Dynasty

Text your answer and the names you used to come up with the answer to 519-550-4210, very important that you have correct answer and the names used!
