Fractures seal league title

A loss turned into a gain for Compound Fractures.

Idle this past week in the city of Laguna Beach Community Services Department’s fall 16�� slow pitch softball league play, Compound Fractures were able to capture the Wednesday League title by virtue of a loss suffered by the Angels.

The second-place Halos suffered their third-straight defeat when they fell, 8-4, to the Hotwings, a loss that gave Compound Fractures a two-game lead in the standings with one game left on the regular season schedule.
