26 - PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, August 25, 1992 "Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice f PY Taylor Ford Mites advance to championships Ontario finals in Springbrook On Aug. 17 our all-star mites were challenged by "The Par- ents" and in a tightly contested match that saw our 8-10 year olds steal alate inning win. The parents appeared a little confused at times as they had some difficulties adjusting to game "rules" and were at times perplexed by some of the calls by the rookie umpiring duo of Jack and Jacques! By the way, it is not true that both of these gentlemen (and sometimes coaches) currently need thick lens eyeglasses!! A certified physician (?quack) had tested them both prior to game time. In a more serious game on Aug. 19 'our Port Perry team hosted Willowdale and again won, this time by a nice 7-2 margin. All three of our pitchers saw action and Braden, Mark and Tim all showed the benefits of their practice sessions in put- ting the lid on the Willowdale offense. Offensively, Mike LeFort, Chris Monsma and Mark notched the Taylor-Ford hits. Matt Skerratt and Braden each earned three walks while Tim and John Burnett earned two walks. Defensively Aaron Ly- cett, Sean Jeffrey, Darren Mill. er and Adam Moynes gave their usual "A" effort for the team. The players and staff would like to take this opportunity to thank Michael Wiseman and John Burnett for their enthu- siastic back-up contribution over the season and hope to see them both with next season's rep teams. Good luck to the Taylor-Ford squad in the upcoming provin- cial championships! No matter how you do there, you have al- ready exceeded pre-season ex- pectations in your competitive- ness and accomplishments. Legion Squirts Joyceville bound for Ontario finals 'On Aug. 20, Port Perry's rep team in the York-Durham League were at home to Rich- mond Hill in a tune-up game for their upcoming All-Ontario Tournament appearance. This was the last home game for our 11-12 year old all-stars and they didn't disappoint their fans as they finished with a 7-6 victory. Chris Jones pitched up the win as he struck out 11 of the 19 batters faced. Reliever Jon Froats did some nice pitching including a strike out of Rich- mond Hill's top batter. Reid McTaggart led the of- fense for Port Perry with a dou- ble, single and a walk. Darryl Dalton and Jon had two walks while sharp-eyed Brad Monsma earned four walks out of the lead-off position in the batting order. Ryan McQuade, Jeff Ash- CMHC Np SCHL. ton (who also got his first sea- son action in centre field) and Ryan Moynes all notched sin- gles. Chris clobbered a triple as well as a single out of the clean- up slot. Excellent defense was dem- onstrated by Ryan Fraser and by Scott Jeffrey who got some experience calling signals be- hind the plate. A few base-running miscues by Port contributed to some squandered scoring opportuni- ties but overall the game served it's purpose for the team. Good luck to all the players and coaches as you represent Port Perry and Scugog in the provincial championship next weekend. No matter how you fare, your season has been more than successful and you have come a long way singe the begin- ning of the season. 1 | E34 | (Canada The Taylor Ford Mites team will attend the 1992 All-Ontario Mite "C" Championship Tour- nament to be held August 29-30 in Springbrook (Campbeliford area).

COLETTE GRANT ENTERPRISES 1-416-404-0020 Shake is unbeatable in Ontario Sires Stakes action as he won his third consecutive $109,000 Gold Series Championship with a victory at Flamboro Downs Raceway on Thursday, Aug. 19, 1992. The two-year-old pacing colt circled the Dundas, Ontario ovalin 1:58.4 to equal the Cana- dian Season's record he estab- lished last week in his Chal- lenge Series elimination. Driven by Paul MacDonell, the son of Coal Harbor and Low- ella Hanover burst quickly off the starting gate from post three and immediately into the lead. Intimidated by his previ- ous showings, none of the com- etition wanted to make an ear- y move on Cedar Shake, allowing him to control the tem- po and reach the half-mile markerin one. From that point on, Cedar Shake was completely at ease, mounted a challenge early in the final half, but could not sus- tain his outside position in the quicker fractions. Cedar Shake is co-owned and trained by William James of Blackstock, Ontario. He is un- defeated in six OSS races in 1992, winning his elimination and the final in Challenge and Gold Series heats at Ottawa's Rideau Carleton Raceway, Greenwood Raceway in Toronto and now Flamboro Downs. He is also owned by Ronald McCoy of Toronto, Ontario. The $54,600 purse cheque from this conquest increases Cedar Shake's bankroll to $190,882 in just eight career starts. He has quickly become the richest and the fastest two- year-old standardbred in the country with his six consecutive wins. Ontario-based sire Threefold came on to be a strong second place finisher for co-owner, trainer and driver Greg Drew while Run The Rack made the trip from New Jersey to finish third. The next Ontario Sires Stakes action for the two-year- old pacing colts and geldings will be at Clinton Raceway on Sunday, Sept. 6 with elimina- tions of the $20,000 Grassroots Series being contested at the Huron County track. The top eight finishers will return for the Grassroots Championship on Sunday, Sept. 13. The OSS Gold Series will resume for this class on Friday, Oct. 2 at Lon- don's Western Fair Raceway with Challenge Series elimina- tions determining the entrants for the $100,000 final on Friday, Oct. 9.
