Softball (fastpitch) (2015)
Tacoma born (June 27, 1948) and raised, Dave Demick displayed his glove work and batting skills on diamonds all around the area for more than 30 years. A 1966 Wilson High grad, Dave played semi-pro baseball after high school then fastpitch softball for years before returning to baseball in the over-30 league.
Mostly playing first base and the outfield, Dave played baseball for the Cheney Studs in 1964 and 1966, Stay Green semipro in 1967 and Lakewood Royals in 1968-70. On the softball field, he played for Puget Sound Bank 1971-75 and ‘78, Achilles Heel 1977, Jackson Reality 1976 and Cloverleaf Tavern 1978-83. There were other teams but time has obscured the details.
He remembers batting over .300 every year with many home runs, usually batting 3, 4 or 5 in the lineup. Dave was selected for several all-star teams at fastpitch invitationals throughout the region.
