Marshal McQuaid had the big stick in this game as he kicked in with a towerline home run and two singles. The Merchants next game was against Scarborough with the winner moving on undefeated to Sunday morning. Clay Brown was on the mound for the Merchants in this game and went the distance picking up the win by dn 11-2 score. Clay struck out five Scarborough batters and was very effective in keeping the opposing batters off balance inducing numerous ground ball outs. While the defence was taking care of the Scarborough t Peterborough with the winner going to the finals and the losers going into the semi- finals. This was a very exciting game that could easily have gone either way but it was just not to be in the cards for the Merchants as they game out on the losing end of a 5-1 score. The Merchants downfall in this game came in the fourth inning with the score tied at zero zero a dropball didn't drop and boom it's outta the park and Port is down 2-0 then an error and all of a sudden it's 4-0 and Peterborough is on it's way to the finals. The Merchants out-hit Peterborough in this game but left a total of seven runners on base. We just couldn't get that key base hit.

The players and coaches would like to thank all of our loyal parents and fans who cheered us on through thick and thin and supported us throughout the season. We would also like to give a thank you to our sponsors; Kirby Structures, XL Gas Bar, Peer Pressure, Monsma Electric and Wagg's Roofing. The coaches would like to give a special thanks to the players on the Merchant team. It's been a long season and we've been with these fine young men when they've been happy about a win or a play working, sad over a . loss, in tears because they felt that they let the team down and eager as they wanted to try a new play or take on a new adversary. We've been with these young men in all sorts of situations and-they have handled themselves with the utmost dignity at all times and have made us very proud of them.
