described as a team that runs hot and cold Their record of three wins and five losses in Peel County play seems to bear out this description On Tuesday when they met the here In Georgetown the girls were almost cooled before they hit the diamond Two starters arrived over a late and although Royalettes manager Jack Handy would have been Justified In taking the game by default thecontestwaspljyed and the Eringate crew exhibited their off agin tendencies to blow a sure win in the final frame and allow the Royalettes to leave the field with a silver platter 3 tie Barb Curry started on the mound for the and though she got off to a shaky I until relieved by Laura Wilks with one out In the top of the seventh Perhaps the hairhour delay had an effect on Barb as she allowed two hits Issued a walk and allowed one run In opening gambit at bat Her mates were quick reassure her however and The Georgetown Bantam baseball team ran their five losses they won all three of their games last week With the season now half over the week a excellent snowing could prove the boost the Bantams need to challenge for the league leadership On Monday the Bantams travelled to and came away victors In a tight contest that was forced Into extra innings Townsend was hot both at the plate and In his catching role as he hit forfour Including a double and two singles scored the winning run and tagged out two runners at the plate for the final two out of the game Georgetown made several errors In the fifth inning but recovered to have a strong finish pitched a complete game striking out nine en route to the win Karolides hit threeforfour Including three singles and Mike Hartley up from the Pee Wees hit twoforfour Georgetown hosted in the first meeting of the season between the two teams and bested the visitors picked up the win hurling a complete game while went for four at the plate Power was two- for three and Hartley across their first run of the gome In the bottom of the second Joan Howat who hit two hard drives and walked In three times at bat opened the second with a single Margo Butler and Smith subsequently walked and advanced to the plate with the bases loaded did what was required as she hit a hard grounder to the shortstop whose only play was a force out at third The run scored and he game was tied up at one run apiece The pome remained deadlocked until the seventh Inning when both teams rallied for two runs on what could be termed if not controversial hen certainly confusing plays In the half of the seventh catcher and team Captain Heather Gardner led off with her second hit of the night a single She advanced to second on a sacrifice Shortstop Marg Munroe then walked and Laura was brought In to try and stem the rally The next batter Debbie White lofted a short pop up which landed in front of Margo Butler Although the ball dropped in the infield fly rule was called and the batter was automatically out The runners bad been of f the bit and before the dust had settled had two runs In and a 31 lead Eringate s Mary Lou Secord was gunned down by catcher Smith in an attempted steal of third base for the third out The took to the batrsck for their last effort and It was in the final frame that lost their beads and the chance a win Leanne struck out to lead off the seventh and things did not look too promising for the local girls at this point The picture got brighter however as Betty Charlie Milton walked to put the tleing runs on base This brought up Laura Wilkes baiting for Janet and two wild pitches advanced the runners to second and third Laura hit an easy grounder to the pitcher who elected to go to first base for the sure out Then the confusion started first baseman Debbie White came across the bag very fast In attempting a play on Betty rushiut In from home plate Betty was safe but the were yelling that first base been touched Umpire Bill James had called Laura out but apparently no one beard him as Laura scrambled back to first base The catcher then made a foolish mistake She threw the ball back to first base although no play could have been made and Charlie Milton who had advanced to third on the roller scampered Barb Curry grounded to shortstop for the final out and the walked away with a Joan played a fine game for the Aside from her two hits she made a good stab of a line drive that looked to be a aura hit then stepped on second base to complete an unassisted double play the runner had baited too soon shortstop Betty made a leaping grab off the bat of Cathy Csulfleld In the top the fourth Inning In her term on the mound for the Barb Curry struck out one baiter while Issuing five walks Laura Wilkes allowed one walk McGowan best at bat Glen crew couldnt dampen Merchants Alter a somewhat mediocre early season In the Hal ton County Men Fastball League the Georgetown Merchants have caught fire They have won their last four outings and their record over the past three weeks stands at five wins and a loss Last Friday the Georgetown Park the stands were filled as the second place Glen Williams team took to the field in an attempt to quell the Merchants resurgence The game was a close affair until the seventh Inning when with the score 43 in favour of the Glen the Merchants broke out for five runs to take control of the game The barrage over however and the Merchants continued their heavy hitting in the eighth frame to push six more runs across and urn the game into a rout The Mer chants got 14 runs on IS hits while the Glen managed four runs oil seven hits Bill Tilt eked up the win collecting seven strikeouts and Issuing no free passes Bob McGown was charged with he loss and he got five Merchants via the strikeout route while walking Just one batter Bob Marchand and banged home runs for the Merchants and the rest of the 17 hits were spread evenly throughout the Mer chant lineup Bob McGowan was the lop Glen batsman going our at the plate Sunday the Merchants travelled Mo ton and although the Toronto nine put up some singly spirited rcilstence the Merchants came home with a well win Grant Usher was credited with the win while Brian Bonneville of Mallon took the loss The Merchants stroked eight hits while Mai ton could manage but three Top man at the plate for the Merchants was who went four forfive by way of four singles Paul Thompson Chris and Gary Tlmmlns banged out hits for Malton The real test as far as the Merchants are concerned will be this Thursday when they travel to to take on thalesgue leaders Should the Merchants pick up a win they could be well on their way to the top of the heap Un fortunately It reported that for various reasons several members of the Merchants might not be to make the trip Should the learn be derstaffea however a good
