On Monday, May 27, Dennis' completely overwhelmed Ajax by the score of 5-0 with Sarah Couch scoring all five goals. In getting her goals, Sarah received assists from Allison Morris, Koula Psoras, Jessica Knoop and Robyn Dubeau. The entire team turned in a strong offensive effort with all the players helping to keep the ball in the Ajax end. More impressive however, was the strong defensive effort turned in by all. Led by Dawn Campbell, Jessica Hull and Kathy Clements, the girls limited Ajax to only three shots on goal. Those three were easily stopped by our goal-keeping duo of Desiree Flonk and Elizabeth Wunder- linh Tuesday, the team went on the road for the first time and defeated Whitby by the score of 5-2. This game, however, was closer than the score indicates indicates as Dennis' led by only 3-2 at the half. Once again, Sarah Couch led our scoring with four goals with Alyssa McClennan putting putting the icing on the cake with her first goal of the season. As with our first two games, Sarah's goals were the result of a fine team effort, with notable notable assists coming from Tracey Michaud, Christine Kiely and Desiree Flonk. Tracey also turned in a fine assist on Alyssa's goal. The team suffered some defensive lapses in the first half providing our goalie Elizabeth Wunderlich with little support and leading to the two Whitby goals. In the second half they went back to their strong positional play and helped our second half goalie, Jessica Knoop, shut out Whitby. Janet Lanee and Anna Rosenberg played especially well. Congratulations, Congratulations, girls for two excellent games! This week, Dennis Pizzeria Girls Atoms play two more games away against Whitby Fireplace Plus and at home against Whitby Canadian Scottish Club. Good luck team!

Errors Play Major Role in Two Losses by Jr. Orioles . ... * <M imes managed to Eel i The Bowmanville L & L Tool - Cowan Pontiac Buick Junior Orioles will hopefully, hopefully, one day soon, play an Eastern Ontario Baseball Associatin game and commit commit no (or very few) errors. Only in a situation such as this will the Orioles stand a chance of winning a game. This past week the Orioles played two games, Wednesday evening in Peterborough and Sunday afternoon at home against Ajax. In the Peterborough encounter the Orioles came up with a very solid effort but a few costly errors allowed allowed the Peterborough squad to earn a 4 - 3 victory. Then on Sunday the Orioles committed a total of twelve errors as they were mercied 14 - 3 by Ajax after seven innings innings of play. In Wednesday's game the Orioles took a one-run lead in the second inning. Scott Michelson started things rolling as he led off with a double. Then the Orioles had runners on the corners as Chris Michelson stepped up to the plate and was good for a single. The next batter in line was Ken Farrow who promptly flied out to centre field, • yet his .job was accomplished accomplished as one run scored. Peterborough came right back in their portion of the inning and scored two runs on the strength of a triple, a single and two Oriole errors. errors. This 2 -1 Peterborough lead held up until the fifth inning. It was at this point that Ed Bird drove in Dave Osborne and Dan Ritchie with a single as the bases were loaded. Once again the Orioles' lead didn't hold up very long as Peterborough came right back and tied the score at 3 - 3 in their at-bats in the fifth inning. The game winning run for Peterborough came in the bottom of the ninth inning. It was definitely a heartbreaker for the Orioles as it was the closest the team has come to winning winning a regular season game this year. Chris Michelson went the distance on the mound for the Orioles and gave up seven hits. Meanwhile, the Bowmanville Bowmanville bats connected for eight hits. Scott Michelson led the way with two doubles doubles and a single, followed by Bird and Ritchie with two singles each and the previously mentioned Chris Michelson single. In Sunday's game, the Orioles fell behind the eight-ball early as Ajax scored five runs in the first inning. The Orioles' outfielders outfielders dropped what should have been two easily caught fly balls. This would have enabled Ritchie and his teammates to get out of the inning still scoreless. Then the two errors suddenly suddenly became more prominent prominent as Ritchie walked in a run, delivered a wild pitch and two outs later the Orioles were down by five runs. The second inning was not that much better for the Orioles as Ajax scored four more runs (including a two- run homer) to take a 9 - 0 lead. Once again errors played an important role as the Orioles committed four of them in this inning. The third inning provided the Orioles something to cheer about as the team managed to score two runs. Bruce Austin led off the inning inning and reached base on an error. One out Inter Brad llamscy connected for a single. Then Farrow stepped stepped up to the plate and delivered delivered a single to score Austin Austin and Bnmsey. The score remained 9 • 2 until the fifth inning when the Orioles made three more errors allowing two Ajax runs to cross the plate. In the bottom of the fifth the vnuies managed to get one of these runs back. Austin led off with a single and was followed by Tony Rupa who also hit a single. After Bam- sey advanced the runners on the next play, Farrow then came up and drove in Austin for E.T.'s third R.B.I. of the day. The score was rounded out by Ajax in the final two innings with a solo home run in the sixth and a two- run shot in the seventh. Both of these home runs came off of Rupa who came in to pitch the last two innings. innings. Sorry Tony, but I honestly honestly believe you are not the next Dwight Gooden. Tomorrow evening the Orioles will play Whitby at 6:15 p.m. at Soper Creek Park. Then, on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. a doubleheader between the Orioles and the Kingston Juniors will be played at Soper Creek Park. to ; A Good Hairstyle Makes A Big Difference DOESN'T IT?
