Optimist Club Puts Up Good Challenge The Optimist Club of Newcastle Village sponsored Minor Bantam Orioles travelled to North Bay on the weekend of June 7 to test themselves in a tournament involving Major Bantam teams, rules and field dimensions. In game one against a bigger and stronger Major team from Georgetown, the Orioles dug in and refused to be intimidated. The guys scattered 16 hits and played fearless defence in support support of pitchers Adam Walton and Darren Lang, who were throwing from 60'6" as opposed to the 55' they are used to. Georgetown managed to get by us by a 9-8 score, and were glad to get out of there with that says manager Steve Spencer. Game two saw the Orioles defeat the Sudbury Majors 4-3, again on the strength of strong pitching, solid defence and a two run homer by Kyle Wipple in the fifth. Our guys were eliminated by Barrie which followed immediately after the Sudbury game. But they left the tourney with heads held high. MVP's as selected by opposing managers, game 1 - Chris Storey, 4 for 5 at plate, Game 2 - Adam Walton, great pitching effort, Game 3 - Darren Lang, gutsy all-round play.
