They ran into some tough luck in having to meet two top rated teams. They were thumped 10-1 by Jordan and nipped 2-1 by Alderwood, the finalists in the tournament a year ago. Against the Jordan Lions, Port took the lead by scoring in the bottom of the first but didn't get another run in the tournament until the fourth inning against Alderwood. That proved to be their last tally. John Butler scored the run against Jordan by singling down the left field line and coming home when Jordan misplayed a bunt. Pete Christie laid down a routine sacrifice bunt but first base- man Ted Posts mishandled it and then threw past third base in an attempt to gun down Butler. The Lions ambushed starter Scott Sandison and reliever Phil Robinson for seven runs in the middle innings. They added another three off Robinson in the PERT BEE Fo sixth before Mark Jeffrey came on to blank them in the last canto. Sandison got into trouble in the third when he hit Posts with a pitch. Posts scored on a slide into the plate after advancing twice on back to back wild pitches from the lefty. With one out and a runner on first Port Perry coach Kevin Walker took the soft- ball from Sandison and hand- ed it to Robinson. Matt Hubert, the game's Most Valuable Player was the first hitter to face Robinson and he touched the right- hander for a single. A long triple to the centerfield fence scored both runners. Robinson gave up two base hits in the fourth before Humbert came up to stroke a double that scored two runs. Dave Peabody doubled through the box to deliver Hubert. Port Perry missed a glorious scoring opportunity in the fourth when Todd Wilbur got on with an infield hit and Robert Franssen blooped an opposite field double with two out. Paul VanCamp laid down a good 5p bunt but couldn't beat it out: for the third out. After Posts and Mickey Milne singled in the sixth Hubert pounded the ball into centerfield for two runs. He scored the last run of the game himself on an infield out. winning Lions Pitcher was Jim Hildebrandt who fanned nine Port batsmen. 2-1 LOSS Port Perry took on Alder- wood at the smaller diamond across from the Joe Fowler Park. It's possible that there could have been a different result had it been contested on the larger diamond because the game winning hit was a home run over the fence in left field by Mike Bokla in the third inning. Jeffrey went the distance in this match and was impressive. He retired eight hitters on strikes and allow- ed only four hits. Rich Cowland was equal to the task on the other side of the field as he whiffed 13 and gave up three hits. Alderwood got its first run in the second.

Port Perry's Mark Jeffrey was also impressive on the rubber, holding the opposition to just four hits.

Binbrook captures tournament with win by Danny Millar The Binbrook Midgets are on their way to Prince Edward Island. The team scratched out a 2-0 win over Agincourt in the final of the Port Perry hosted midget elimination tournament, with the winner going to the east coast to represent Ontario in the Canadian championship in two weeks. The final game was a pitcher's dual all the way, as higher level midget games have a tendency to be. Dave Martin of Binbrook outlaster Rob Scheller for the win. Martin was named the most valuable pitcher after the final and Scheller got the most valuable player award. It was a very entertaining game. Agincourt threatened to tie in each of the last two innings when they brought the tying run to the plate after putting baserunners on. Scheller got on in the sixth with a double to the centerfield wall and then went to third where he was left stranded. In the seventh an error by shortstop Ed Haylock allowed another runner on. base. Agincourt third base coach Doug Scott was eject- ed from the game when he disputed a called third strike. He was thrown out of the park after standing near his bench cheering on his charges. Each team had three hits in the game and both sides made an error. The Agincourt error cost them a run when catcher Mark Walsh threw the ball past an uncovered third base with Dennis Edwards head- ed in that direction. Ed- wards got on with a bunt and stole second to get into scoring position. The hurlers controlled the contest for the next three innings before Binbrook got an insurance marker in the bottom of the fifth. Haylock got to first base with a single and was sacrificed to second. He made it to third on a pitch in the dirt and then scored on a sacrifice fly. After the game Port Perry softball Executive Vin Walker introduced Mr. Don Prescott, President of the Ontario Amatuer Softball Association. Mr.. Prescott then made the customary speech of congratulations to the hosting town and both teams. Also in the crowd were the first and second vice presidents of the OASA. Binbrook advanced through the championship by beating out Sarnia, Wood- stock, and Grimbsy before nipping Agincourt in the 42nd game of the tournament. Binbrook edged out Willow- dale, last year's winners in the exciting semi-final. Local teams did not fare well in this prestigious event. Port Perry and Claremont were knocked out after each team lost its first two games. Port lost to Jordan and Alderwood while Claremont was pounded 12-0 by Agin- court and was eliminated by Oshawa.
