Most games go to a link from Newspapers.com, which requires a subscription to read. My suggestion is to get a free trial (7 days long), and keep it for longer if you choose. You will have to enter credit card information even for the free trial.
Here's a small snippet from The Evening Press (Press & Sun-Bulletin) way back on June 13, 1974 announcing that girls' sports will add softball as a sectional championship starting in 1975!
