All five of the submissions of the name Salem Avalanche in the contest to name the Carolina League baseball team have been declared co-winners by the ballclub.
The winners were Scott Gregory of Collinsville; Jodie Nunley of Roanoke; Barbara Beckner of Vinton; Ed St.Clair of Salem; and Steven Snyder of Vinton.
All five will receive a pair of season tickets for the 1995 season, a baseball autographed by the members of the 1995 Avalanche and a chance to throw out the first pitch at a game during the upcoming season.
The original plan had been to select a winner by a drawing, but it was decided to make all five winners in the interests of fairness, Salem general manager Sam Lazzaro said.
