pa , : Ct SCAR 12 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wed., August 20, 1950 with Danny Millar ports. Ken Irvine at best as Greenbank beats Prince Albert in final by Danny Millar Lefthander Ken Irvine was virtually untouchable on the mound and the result was a convincing 5-2 win for_the Greenbank Gamblers over Prince Albert in the final game of the Durham Softball '"'Bush" league's annual tournament Saturday, Aug- ust 16, at Fowler Memorial Park. Irvine, who also pitches for the Port Perry team in the _ Lake Scugog league, was overpowering. He struck out a total of ten hitters. He got them in order on strikes in the third, and a pair in each of the fourth-and- fifth. The only time he faultered was the bottom of the seventh when Prince Albert got two runs. The Durham circuit also has playoffs at the end of the regular schedule, The tour- nament is only for league teams and is played over one weekend every year. Last year, as in past seasons, they were rained upon, forcing postponement. Greenbank already had the game sewn up going into the seventh and final inning but managed to score a couple of runs. Larry Page, another Lake Scugog league player, tripled to the left field fence and scored when Ron Southern hit a sacrifice fly to centerfield. Denny Tulleck singled and went to second when the ball was thrown out of bounds. He scored when pinch hitter Mark McCain doubled. Prince Albert made it int- eresting in the bottom of the seventh. Brian Robinson singled and Randy McLeod, a LSSL pitcher with Nestle- ton, doubled. With two runn- ers in scoring position, Kevin Martens doubled to shallow left field, producing two runs. The Durham Softball League is a five team loop that includes Greenbank, Prince Albert, Port Perry, Columbus, and Uxbridge. The Gamblers are the class of the league, having won the tournament and are current- ly in first place.

Brian Robinson of Price Albert is called safe at first base despite the efforts of Ron Southern in the final game of the Durham Softball League final tournament game Saturday, won 5-2 by Greenbank. Port Perry Men win nailbiter in Claremont by Danny Millar Doug Scott pounded a - double to lead off the elev- enth inning, was sacrificed to third, and scored when Ken Irvine lined a single off pitcher Darrell Norton's glove. That was the winning run in the best of three games OASA series between Port Perry Canadian Tire and Claremont in Intermed- iate C play. Scott's key run was the fifth and Irvine scored during the same inning as Port earned a 6-5 victory and the right to meet Goodwood in the second round, starting Wednesday, August 20. Irvine scored the insur- ance marker when Ron Red- man smashed the ball past the outstretched glove of third baseman Larry Pilkey. Pilkey was a vacume clean- er at the hot corner during the three games. Time and time again he robbed Port batsmen of base hits and thwarted scoring attempts. Irvine pitched a strong game to get the win. He was also the winning hurler in the first game of the series and did not play in the second game, the one Port dropped. He was paid tribute by Port Perry Coach Doug Scott who said the win was partially due to "'a lot of clutch pitch- ing by Irvine." Coach Scott also stated that it was a "team -effort....a real team effort." The game was a nail biter since the first pitch thrown by Irvine...which was declared illegal. Irvine served up three illegal tosses in the first inning and one in the third.=Apparently he did Hurricanes end lengthy layoff by Cathy Collins Well the Homestead Furni- ture Hurricanes are back in action after having a three week holiday, they were a little sluggish after the lay off but managed to win 1-0 to Barry Burns Ins. at Ajax on Thursday, August 14. The game started at 6:30 p.m. with the Hurricanes taking over most of the action and bringing the play well up the field, but they had a hard time getting it altogher and it took them five trys before they finally scored the one and only goal with Jill Parry getting a break away and passing it to Terri O'Neal, who put it in the goal. A well deserved goal. Playing well in mid field were Lisa Butters and And- rea Carnegie and good defence with Kim Nortin and both Andreas. Next game at home Thurs- day August 21st 6:30 playing against Oshawa Rangers and don't forget Cup Day for Scugog Soccer Club August 23. The girls are playing an exhibition game 11:15 against one of the Atom teams. See you there soccer fans. not pause during his swing- ing delivery. Coach Scott employed successful strategy in the eighth inning and it resulted in the tying run. After Jay Williams got on base after Norton made another error, Ken Jeffrey, one of the speediest runners on the team, came. in as a pinch- runner. Jeffrey scored on a subsequent play on a very close call at home plate. Jeffrey barely beat the throw but catcher Bill Carr- uthers dropped the ball. That . tied the game 4-4 and sent it into extra innings. Claremont got their runs in the third and the sixth, two each frame. Norton started with a single to right field and was bunted to second when the Port infielders couldn't decide who should pick up the ball. With two out, Marty Uzzell sharply lined a double over third sacker Mark Lee's head, bringing in both runners. In the home half of the sixth, Uzzell got on second when shortstop Phil Cochrane fielded his hit and threw it into the ground. Howie Jones followed with a massive home ryn blast to left field. Redman gave it a good run but just couldn't come up with the ball. Port Perry counted twice in the top half of the opening stanza. Redman cranked a one out single to right and Robert Evans walked. Brent Fallis hit a single to shallow right field, scoring Redman. Evans scored on Jay Will- iam's line out to centerfield. . Port got a run in the sixth inning that was almost comical. Redman led off with a base hit to centerfield and was sacrificed to second base by Evans. Redman scored when Fallis pounded along fly ball that rightfield- er Bob Leger booted for a three base error. Leger fell in a ditch at the extremity of right field which is bordered. by aroad. Leger fell and had no chance to recover so he reached out and tried to .catch the ball with his bare hand. If Port Perry wins the Goodwood series and the one following it, they will advance 'o the all-Ontario tourr.ar'Cat in Sarnia in Sep- tember. PeeWee MoJacks blasted in Uxbridge by Danny Millar The Port Perry PeeWee MoJacks were totally out- classed by Uxbridge in the first game of the OASA playoffs, in Port Perry Mon- day, August 11. By the time seven innings had elapsed, Uxbridge had outscored Port 16-3. } Eight times in the first two innings, Uxbridge runners touched home plate without being retired. - Port Perry pitchers, Fred Cockerton and Paul Goreski worked a shuttle service between right field and the mound. Each took two turns on the rubber, while the other occupied the pasture in right. Port Perry would have won if they pre-arranged a rule by which the home team only had to play a half inning-and that frame was the third. That was when Port counted three times off pitcher Jason Canavan, who breezed through for the win, fanning 11 hitters in the process. , Greg Warriner started with a walk and stole _ second. He advanced a base when Fred Cockerton Jr. clubbed a base hit. Warriner scored when Canavan made a throwing error on a hit by Lee Wilbur. Goreski was hit by a pitch and that surround- ed Canavan. Jeff Wray hit into a force-out but it scored a run. Wilbur sped in from third base after catcher Mike Morris misplayed a delivery from Canavan and watched it roll back into the deep Port Perry backstop. After scoring six times in the first frame, Uxbridge mugged MoJack hurling again in the seventh, scoring four more, two of them on a single by Canavan. For all intents and purpos- es, the game was over after the inaugeral half inning, when the first six Uxbridge hitters got on base and ulti- mately scored. There were two bright spots for the MoJacks in the field. Third baseman Craig Menzies made a stab at a line drive hit by Todd Pinder in the third inhing that he turned over for a double . play. Menzies got Goreski out of a jam on that play because the bases were load- ed with none out at the time. He tagged the lead runner scrambling back to third base. Shortstop Warriner turned two grounders into a pair of double plays later in the game. Port Perry MoJacks had better luck at their league tournament two weeks ago when they split four games. They lost the final game by default after falling behind 13-0 mid way through. The MoJacks were hammered even worse. in their second game. Playing at home, the Uxbridge Pee Yess humbled Port Perry 1-2. ( ) A lot of le call life peop "The Survival of the Fittest". You know, a lot of people are right. \__ rormoroD ® aN y iy & ¢ L
