Serving^ 011 Since 1922 Corner of Courtice Rd. and Hwy. 2 Sales and Servicing 436-2222 Craig Strong ) Phone Brad Kelly at 623-3303 GET WELL SOON -- We send out wishes for a a speedy recovery to Gary Thcrtell of Kendal, who was hospitalized over the weekend after playing in a fund-raising baseball tournament in Newcastle, with proceeds going to the Orono Park. Not only do family and friends miss his presence at home, but the mixed baseball team in Kendal that he coaches would sure like to see him back in uniform and out on the diamond as quickly as possible. Gary is presently going over some game strategy and lineup changes for the team as he rests in the dugout that has been provided by Memorial Hospital, Bowmanville. HOOPS, ANYONE? -- We noticed while visiting Soper Creek Park over the weekend that two basketball nets have been erected just east of the playground equipment. They will certainly get their share of use once word leaks out that they are ready and available. If you haven't been to the park lately, it is well worth a visit. The playground equipment for kids is top- notch, and rarely an evening goes by where it isn't in full use. It's quite an attractive setting for parents who can sit and relax while their kids bum up their energy. WIN, PLACE, SHOW -- Some local residents cashed in at the harness horse races at Kawartha Downs last week. Last Thursday night, Tina Cranny of Bowmanville won a 50/50 draw during St. Joseph's Hospital Foundation Night, and pocketed a tidy $700 prize. On Saturday night, Hard Hat Proposal stepped off a 1:56.4 mark to post a victory for owners Lynne and Bud Rodd of Newtonville, and Charlene and Joe Hollister of Newcastle. WEDDING BELLS AT LAST -- Longtime friends of the sports department, Rob Terry of Bowmanville and Diane Hornsby of Hampton, will exchange wedding vows this Saturday afternoon after a lengthy engagement. The wedding reception is expected to be well-attended, especially by Rob's teammates from the Kendal Eagles baseball team. Only one problem, The following day, (Sunday) Kendal is scheduled to play games against Whitby and Belleville. The Whitby game will start at 10:00 a.m. With a late night expected on Saturday, maybe we can pray for a little rain on Sunday and miss the first game. If not, our best bet would be to use a softer ball, so the sound it makes when contacting the aluminum bat won't be so loud. The wedding bug has bit the Kendal Eagles team this year. On Friday, Brad Robinson, who captained the Bowmanville Eagles Jr. C hockey team this past year, will marry his fiancée, Susan. On July 30, Dwight Woodward will marry Sue Ann, and in October, John Robinson and Marilyn will be married. BASEBALL FUNDRAISER - The first annual Durham Service Club League tournament and dance fundraiser for Cystic Fibrosis will take place at the Bowmanville Recreation Complex on Saturday, July 30 and Sunday, July 31.

They are sailing more smoothly in EOB A senior play. After going winless for July in four outings, Kendal won two of the past three games. Sunday, after hammering Little Britain 16-4 as part of a makeup of a rainout game, Kendal lost for the second time this year to Markham. Three runs late in the game gave Markham a 5-3 victory. But on Monday night, Kendal rebounded rebounded behind the stellar pitching performance of Keith Powell, blanking blanking Belleville by a 7-0 score. The two victories raised Kendal's record on the season to 10-12, with five games remaining. Their game with Bowmanville last Wednesday night was suspended suspended in the bottom of the ninth inning due to a park curfew with Kendal clinging to a 9-8 lead. Under ' league rules, the two teams are required to conclude the game at their earliest convenience. With the end of the regular season season drawing near, and playoffs on the horizon, the timing couldn't have been better for Kendal to start improving on their lacklustre play of late. It's a positive sign as they begin preparing to host the All Ontario 'D' finals on Labour Day weekend. As hosts last year, they advanced to the semi-finals before being eliminated. eliminated. It was the second year in a row that the team failed to get past the semis. And, with many of the club's veterans hinting about retirement after after this year, the chances of winning a provincial title may be hard to come by in the future. One of those veterans who would like to end the year on a winning note is Powell, who certainly showed his leadership capabilities Monday night in Belleville. The crafty left-hander pitched a complete game four-hitter. He had Belleville batters baffled throughout the night, recording 10 strikeouts while walking four. Three of the walks came in one inning, the fourth, which was the only time Belleville threatened to score the entire game. But, with the bases loaded on three consecutive walks and only one out, Powell fanned the next two batters to end the inning. "I didn't feel comfortable in the third and fourth innings," he admitted admitted afterwards. "I started to overthrow overthrow and I got my pitches up. Sometimes I think I'm still 25 years old and try to throw that way." The game was close throughout, as Kendal carried a narrow 3-0 lead into the eighth inning. Two runs in the eighth and another pair in the ninth was all the insurance they needed. Brad Robinson had three of Kendal's Kendal's nine hits, while Rob Terry, Kirk Woodward, and Bill Britton had two each. The run support for Powell was something that he hasn't been accus-' tomed to this year in previous outings. outings. "In my last two starts we've only scored two runs," he said. "But the boys played well defensively behind me tonight, and we got the outs when we needed them. As long as we do that, we will win some ball games." In the first of two games on Sunday, Sunday, a five-run second inning and an eight-run fifth inning powered Kendal Kendal to a 16-4 victory. The league's mercy rule was imposed after seven innings. The win snapped the Kendal's four game losing streak. Cory Baker pitched all seven innings innings for Kendal, scattering five hits while striking out five. The only real damage off of Baker came in the first inning when a two-run homer gave Little Britain their only lead of the game. The five-run second inning for Kendal was highlighted by a three- run home run to right field for B. Robinson. In the eight-run fifth inning, inning, Kendal sent 14 batters to the plate, collecting eight singles. Dwight Woodward and Britton had a perfect four for four game at the plate. D. Woodward and B. Robinson Robinson had four RBIs each, while John Robinson had three. In the second game on Sunday, two runs in the eighth and one more in the ninth by Markham lifted them to a come-from-behind 5-3 win. Mike Robinson went the distance on the mound for Kendal, allowing 13 hits while striking out three and walking only one. B. Robinson had three hits and two RBIs, while Powell knocked in Kendal's other run. Dwight Woodward grimaces in pain as he is helped from the field after getting hit by a pitch in the foot during senior EOBA league action on Sunday afternoon. That's coach Ron Davis (left), and Jerry Thompson providing the makeshift stretcher. After a dismal start to the month of July, Kendal has rebounded, rebounded, winning two of their past three games. 50 YEARS AGO - The compositor, loyal to the home team, refuses refuses to carry the box score of the hardball game between Coca Colas of Oshawa and the Bowmanville Juniors.
