Electrons enomtered a "Lost Week- end", dropping deoluloins to Litti Britain and Orillia, last flday evening and Sat- urday afternIaan. Despite a lean llneup of enly Il players, thie Inter- znediates put up a game strug- gle before bowing 8-6 to Lit- îlc Britain. Their Saturday liosts, Orillia Majors, proved equally hostile, dlivering a '7-3 licking. The Electrons were outhilt 18-12 in the pair ,~ ~L~c4~cks, as their pitching staff 'Iere beset by ailing Ilippers. In their Friday evening 2natch, Bowmnanvile recover- ied frorn a 6-2 score to tic the gamne In the top of thie elghth. Little Britain cashed in on two eostly errors in the bat- tom cof the inning as they pulld out the victory.

Despite the aiing wing, the workhorse of Bownianville's pitchàng crew claimed nine strkeouts. Three free passes set the stage for a two run single by pitcher Ted Hallett, as Little Britain took a 2-0 first inning lead. Bowmanville tied it up in the top of the fourth, courtesy of two infield errors. The winners bounced back in front 3-1, adding a lone run in the last of the fourth after two were out. After leadoff batter, Pat O'ReiUly walked, catoher McMillan pumped a double to left. Steve Burns aînd Kennedy had singles, while Archie Crossey's sacri- fice fly shaved the home club's lead ta 3-2, as Bowman- ville added a single run ini the top of thie fifth. Ken- nedy's final frame of mound duty saw Little Britan picki up three tales, to move in front 6-2. Bowmanville scrambled to within twa runs, chasing the home club's seoond hurler, Qaborne, in the seventh. They received back ta back, twa aut doubles by Terry Black and Archie Crossey as they scored twice. 'Me Ekectrons added another pair of runs- in the top of the eighth, ta tic the game 6-6. They. accomplished this without benefit af a base- hit. Two walks, a missed third strikeout, and some er- ratie fielding, teamned with alert baserunning, did thie job. Carleton," who had turned in a solid relief Job ince he took over in the sixth, ran ita grief in the last of the eighth. An infield error, bunt single and wild pitch set up the winncr's two ruas. A pop up ta pitcher Carleton was tossed wildly past third base and tihat was the game. Black led off Bowrnanville's ninth with a double, his second of the game, but was leit strand- ed.

Grant Wright, Steve Burns and Kennedy cailected thie other Bowmanville hits.. Gord Mc- Millan and Ted Hailett bath liad a pair of bits for the winners. Bill Preston, who tossed the last two and one third innlngs, was especially inipressive, alliawing juat one hit for two runs. He blew third strikes past six of a pas- sible seven Bowmanville hit- tenu. The short outfield fences beckoned the swatters in the 7-3 Orillia cantest and the winners answered the cal with a pair. Bowmanville's Ray Orombie teed off in the fifth inning, wth two men on board, as the Electrons mo- mentanîly tied the game 3-3. Orillia, who banged out 10 bits ta thie visitons' six, took a 3-0 lead i the first on twa homers and a single sandwich- cd in between. George Jones worked the first twa innings for Bow- manville, with Gary Akey completing the niound duties. Orillia nicked Jones for three runs and three hits, whice rapping Akey for their ne- mainrng four runs and seven safeties. Berger, Hunter and Cockburn combined to check Bowmjanville on their half dozen base knocks. After Crombie tied it with his three run borner in the top of thie fifth, Onillia recovered the lead in the last of the inn-ing. Aiter two were out, three straight bits accounted for a single run. The hometown "Majors" wrapped it up, add- ing three runs on two hits and two Bowmanvifle errors, in the sixth. Larry Piper was the lone Bowmanville player ta pick up a pair of bits, while Crombie's homerun and three R.B.I.'s was thie only extra base blow. Guy Parks, Akey and Steve Burns ail had singles to complete Bowman- ville's offensive outp'ît. Little Bitain will be the opposition this Saturday af- tern-oon at 2 p.m.. white the Electrons will travel to Port Hope on Sunday for another 2 p.m. tilt. On Wedncsday, June Ilh, the Bowmanville club wfll mneet the classy Lea- side squad in a 7:45 p.m. ai- fair. Despite their recent losses, the Bowmanville gang are optimistic approaching the uPeoming games. Hitting is stili their number anc stumbling block, but improve- Ment in this area is Incvi- table as the year unfolds. Ray Crambie and Guy Parks have been the Electrons' top swatters ta thiis stage in the season. If somne af thc re- maining players get in the groove and thc pitching staff's arms cease ta ache, then the Electrons will certainly be a respectable bail club, regard- less of wbo their opposition May be.
