The two teams anted up. And, after the first two games of their bcst-of-three series, both had won a share of the pot.

Fourth Place Finish for MacDonald at Mosport Kendal 7-Little Britain 3 Jr. Orioles Victims Of Unearned Runs by Brad Kelly It wasn't the type of start 'to the third game of their best-of-three playoff series against Little Britain that Bowmanville Junior coach _Ron Cormier was looking for. ' Seven runs in the first i - four innings. Five of those runs were unearned. If" it were a car race, the Junior Orioles might have .been described as being left in the pits instead of on the ".starting grid. They did manage to make ; their way onto the track, but -couldn't manage to get on "the same lap as the leaders. Little Britain 8 Orioles 5 . Eventually, they succumbed, succumbed, 8-5, Sunday night at Soper Creek Park. "I expected to win, but errors errors cost us tonight," said Cormier. "I mentioned to Bob (assistant coach Stone) that the guys seemed to be uptight, and that's the way they played. "They realized it was a do-or-die game, and couldn't handle the pressure. Once they settled down, they didn't play too badly." . Unfortunately for the Orioles, Orioles, the damage had already already been done. Little Britain scored a pair of runs in each of the first,, second and fourth innings, innings, and a single run in the third inning for a 7-0 lead. In the fourth, the Orioles' Jeff Laird hit aleadoffhome glcs for a couple of more runs to close the gap to 7-3. Derek Zanders solo blast in the fifth inning cut Little Britain's lead to four. Orioles' starting pitcher Jay Kiely settled down to keep Little Britain off of the scoresheet from the fifth inning inning through to the eighth. The was only one problem. problem. Little Britain's Steve Trumbell was doing the same. Both pitchers went the distance. Kiely finished the night with nine strikeouts, while Trumbell fanned seven. seven. In the ninth inning, Little Little Britain. scored a single run to increase their lead to 8-4.. The Orioles answered in their half of the inning, scoring scoring a run, and getting base- runners at first and second with two out. A spectacular play by Little Little Britain's third baseman on a line drive off of the bat of Jeff Laird finished the game. And, subsequently, the Orioles' season. "When we fell behind early, early, it took the game away from us," said Cormier of the key point in the ball game. But, despite the loss, he was happy with the season. "It was a good year. We improved over last year, and 8-11 (in the regular season) is not a bad record. "I plan to come back next year. I think I'll pitch a tent down here. I pretty well live down here anyway." Spring training is only eight months away. This Little Britain batter voices his displeasure to Kendal won the third and deciding game of their best- home plate umpire Roy Foster during an EOBA Sen- of-three series, 7-3.
