Pali Ne fs! 3 XN ims Ax RNR a hel PAT NTR Tha 12 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wed., October 1, 1980 Sports with Danny Millar Port wins first of LSSL playoff final by Danny Millar Kelly Neals served up a wild pitch in the top of the eleventh inning that brought in Robert Evans from third and Doug Scott from second base as Port Perry Canadian Tire upset the Pontypool Generals 3-1 on Sunday, September 28 in the first game the Lake Scugog Soft- ball League final five match series. The game was well played by both teams and only one error was made, that an early inning throwing miscue by Port catcher Evans. Neals and southpaw Ken Irvine went head to head in a splendid pitching duel. Neals, who starred this past summer with the Oshawa ~ "Juniors, struck out 19 men and allowed just four hits. Irvine fanned 12 and also allowed just four safeties. Irvine could not match Neal's velocity and sub- sequently had fewer strike- outs. But he had pinpoint accuracy and did not walk a batter, whereas Neals often found himself in trouble because of the free passes. In the fateful eleventh, Evans reached first on a dropped third strike and was sacrificed to second by Phinney. Scott singled and went to second, placing two runners a single away from scoring. But they didn't need a base hit. What they got instead was a pitch high into the screen. Evans started for the plate, then hesitated before making a dash. His presence drew a crowd and in the confusion Scott came sliding home with the insur- ance marker. There were other heros for Port. Phil Cochrane replac- ed Ken Bryant at shortstop and handled several tough chances flawlessly. He made a ninth inning circus catch when he went into shallow left field where he and Charlie Durward bobble the ball three times before holding on for good. The only run Irvine gave up came in the bottom of the first. It was a line drive home run to left field that cleared the 230 feet marker easily with two out and no one aboard. It started out as though Port hitters would be in for a tough afternoon as Neals by Linda Parry On Saturday, September 27th, the ladies of Summer- lea Golf Course found them- selves doing the most unusual things on a golf course. Have you ever tried to tee off with a paper bag over your head, or putt at the same time as you balance an egg on a coffee spoon; well these were just a couple of the things the ladies were up against. The low gross score was shot by a determined Noreen Leahy and low net by Rae-Elaine Challice. There were too many prize winners to name tham all but each lady went home with a gift. The season results were as follows: First place team with the trophy donated by Whitby Auto Wreckers- Velma Wray, Doris Tripp, Helen Roter, Marg Boyton, retired the side on strikes in the first frame. All the visitors could manage were four foul balls. He struck out two the next time around. Cochrane singles through the box in the third inning, driving in Durward with the run that would ultimately send the game into extra innings. Durward had a bloop single over first base- man Brent Fallis, was sacri- ficed to second and went to third on a wild pitch. Port Perry had numerous chances to. put the game away much earlier but lack- (Turn to page 13) Judy Reader, Anne-Marie Kennedy, Mary Field, and Mary Cannon.

They allowed 25 goals in three losses, an astonishing 15 on power plays. The Bowmanville Eagles took a 7-5 victory Wednesday September 24 on the strength of six manpower advantage markers and a late finishing rally. Port seemed to tire towards the end of that con- test as the Eagles got three quick goals. The Uxbridge Bruins swept a pair of weekend encounters by 8-3 and 10-5 margins. Port Perry.chose to play the three games in combat- ive, abrasive fashion and they paid the price for it. The penalty killing system looked disorganized and hesitant through the three games and on several occas- ions they were caught look- ing around or chasing after open ice. In their own end, the MoJack skaters could not form a four corner box quick -enough-to-be-effective--and- when the puck was inside the Uxbridge blue line they were frequently caught with two men out of position in deep. The defensive pairings and goaltending were problem areas for the MoJacks through the exhibitions. There was no consistency along the blueline and no one had really taken charge of the situation. The MoJacks even recalled Keith Tremb- ley, a defender who played Midget B hockey last season and was working out with the A team in practices this autumn. Port employed three goal- keepers against Uxbridge-- Glenn Archibald, Clay Lovering, and Warren Nicholishen. Each worked a period in the second game- and two more in the first Bruin meeting, Ken Harman and Merle Schewagga. Lov- ering and Nicholishen got the call against the Eagles, _ Schewagga, who teamed with Ray Gibson in 1979-80, was the most impressive as he surrendered only one goal in half a game's work. Gibson has yet to see duty, suggesting that his fate with the team is sealed one way or another. The brightest spots have come from returnee forwards Darrin Jobb and Todd Wilbur. Jobb had a strong game in Uxbridge Friday, September 26 as he scored twice and assisted once. He worked on a line with newcomer Al Lewko, who has performed well in spots, and chipped in two assists. Wilbur had a goal in each of the last two games and was one of the few (Turn to page 13) The Summerlea Ladies Golf League held the annual end-of-season banquet Saturday evening and trophies were presented to individual and team member winners.
