Greenbank struck quickly in their half of the first inning as George Redshaw touched Wil- liams for a two out triple to cash one run, and then he crossed the plate with the second run when Rod Real spanked a long double. The Eagles squandered a great chance in the third when they loaded the bases with just one out. But a ground ball hit right to Mark Goreski on the mound re- sulted in a home plate to first base double play. But in the bottom of the 5th, the Eagles struck for their three runs, the first on a tough fly ball to centre that was bobbled, the second on a sac fly to right by Larry Pilkey.

Local arm wrestlers meet the best on the continent Four members of the Port Perry Arm Wrestling team trav- elled to the northern Quebec town of Amos over the August 1 holi- day weekend to compete against the best in the North American championship. More than 150 top calibre arm wrestlers from Canada and the United States were competing in five weight groups for the $1, first place prize money. Although the four Port Perry competitors failed to finish in the money, they were pleased with their efforts, considering this was one of the top tournament on the continent. In the lightweight division Pat Mastrangelo pulled his way to a Sth place finish, while Mike Haigh was 8th in the same divi- sion. The winner in this division was American Dave Patton, the man who trained actor Sylvester Stallone for the arm wrestling movie "Over the Top." John Roberts and Garth Carl- son of the Port Perry team, both competed in the middleweight di- vision and finished 10th and 15th respectively. "We have to be happy with these results, considering the cali- ¥ Jay Willlams (No. 12) of the Port XL Eagles ripped a two run homer to help his team to a 3-0 win over Oshawa Juniors in tournament quarter final action over the weekend.
