That was the only game the Port Perry Juveniles won, However, as they lost tight matches to host Sarnia 3-2 and Burlington 2-1. Walker was hot on the mound for the three games giving up just 13 hits, and his performance is a good omen for the Juveniles who are getting ready for playoff action. : "They put on a super show in front of a Sarnia crowd," beamed Port Perry coach Bob Knapp. He added that the team was complimented by tourney officials for it's conduct. In the Oshawa contest, t] righthander Walker struck out 11 men enroute to the victory while allowing just two walks.

Healey may have defens- ive problems in back of the plate as he allowed four passed balls in the next game. He was filling in for regular Mike Doupe who had badly broken his left thumb * in the opening game. Doupe was injured when he was stepped on while covering home plate. His hand is in a cast for five weeks so he will be lost for the remainder of the season. "Key plays kept the no hitter intact," stated Knapp. The plays he referred to were catches made by out- fielder Greg Fedyk and sec- ond baseman Mark Cleve- land. The linescore on Oshawa shows a row of zeros. Port got three runs on seven hits and played errorless ball. Walker came just two hitters over the limit of a perfect game with the two bases on balls as he faced 29 men. A seventh inning rally came up short as Port scored two runs in that round but lost to Sarnia in the first game. Walker led off the seventh with a double and scored on Dave Dickson's triple. Dickson scored on a sacrifice fly by Healey. Walker whiffed three men, his lowest total of the meet, and seven in the final game against Burlington. He had 21 strikeouts altogether and walked six men in the last two games. The Port Perry pitcher threw all three games for his THUNDERBIRD ITS THE ONLY WAY TO FLY!

I think we sparkled as a team, really," said the Port coach. 'Nearly everybody had a hit." "The draw "wds a little unfortunate. We drew three good, strong clubs right off the bat." The Port mentor was surprised with the play of outfielder Tim Kane who has not seen much action in league play. 'He proved to me that he can go in there and not be a weak spot on the field," exclaimed Knapp adding that he believes Kane "can play with the best of them." Most of the teams in Sar- nia were Juveniles A cate- gory. By comparison, Port Perry is Juveniles C ranking in the B division of the Oshawa City and District League.
