4-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, September 20, 1989 SPO R T S Orono Tykes capture Bowmanville championship After finishing second in the regular season with a 12-4 record, the Orono Tykes, went on a rampage rampage in the playoffs capturing four consecutive games from top-flight competition. More importatntly, the "magnificent sixteen" were not greatly extended until the final game, and then they came through in the clutch. The very fact our team had so many players and still succeeded is a tribute to the patience patience and understanding of coach Mike Hutton. Thus, before attempting attempting any description of the game, I believe a word of thanks is due to Coach Hutton, the other parents who helped in a variety of ways and to everyone who made sure the kids arrived punctually- and in a determined determined but fun-loving mood. Our first playoff encounter was on September 5th with a scrappy Cooperators team which held us to a 5-5 tie until the sixth inning. Then with the timely hitting of Allan Lee, Lee Robb, Simon Weagant, Jamie Kirk and Mike Konarowski we exploded exploded for six runs and broke their hearts. Final score 12-6. On September 7th we faced Checkers Variety and somnam- bulated to a mere 3-2 lead after four innings. Finally Brian Houston cleared the bases in the fifth with a long homerun, and Shawn Davies matched that in the sixth to help count a total often runs in the last two innings. A shell-shocked Checkers squad bowed out 13-3, crushed by the fact our two Scotts, Perry and McDonald, had chalked up 13 "K"s on the scoresheet. An honourable mention in this game must go to "Rapid" Ryan Dewulf who got on base twice and used his speed to score both times. On September 12th we sent our first-class starter, Brian Houston, to the mound in an "A" championship championship match-up against regular season leaders, Burger King. Now it must be noted that Burger King had won the regular season on the strength of one pitcher who handled every inning. In the playoffs we had a verbal agreement that no pitcher would go more than four innings. Brian tied up their bats for three innings innings allowing for eight runs in the first two innings, as lead-offs Danny McDonald and Grant Esler ripped two hits each. Their chucker finally got into the groove in the fourth inning inning and, lo and behold, showed up on the mound to start the fifth. After a hastily arranged meeting with the local baseball czar it was decided to our dismay that the verbal verbal agreement meant nothing. This type of activity typified the Burger King approach all year, so Coach Hutton responded in the best possible possible way. Although Scott McDonald had pitched an excellent fourth inning inning Mike brought back Brian who promptly whiffed three consecutive "burgers". With that point made Scott cleaned up in the seventh by also striking ou the side. Our batters batters decided to emphasize the poin as Tomas Wakefield and Scott McDonald stretched hits into runs by running wilf on their one and only only hurler, and Jonathan Noble and Brian Houston clouted triples, the latter bringing in Grant Esler after his third single of the evening. Needless to say the 13-7 victory was the "sweetest" of the year. Unfortunately we could still not call ourselves champions because the "B" champions, the same pesky Cooperators team, had won the opportunity opportunity to take revenge on us on Thursday evening, September 14th. The weather foild that attempt, and the game was re-scheduled for 9 a.m. Saturday. Now we faced a talented team which had the advantage advantage of being the underdog. Their two talented pitchers held many of our big guns off base, but Brett Maartense, Jamie Kirk, and Danny Danny McDonald managed to get aboard all three at bats. A couple of big hits by each of Jonathan Noble, Scott Perry, and Scott McDonald helped us get across five runs in the first and fourth innings respectively, respectively, thereby insuring a close 12-9 victory, victory, as all three of our regular pitchers pitchers collaborated to strike out 16 of their hitters. Much has been made in this article article of our pitching and hitting. The fact is that without the talents of Brian Houston, Scott Perry, and, in the latter part of the season, Scott McDonald, our record would not have been/quite so solid. However, our defence should not' be overlooked. In Brett Maartense and Danny McDonald we had the steadiest catcing tandem in the league. Matthew Black and Shawn Davies gobbled up the grounders at third and made the long throws to our two,"Too Tall" firstsackers, Jonathan Noble and Tomas Wakefield. Our other infielders; Grant Esler, Scott Perry, Brian Houston, and Scott McDonald were sure-handed and sharp-witted. Our outfielders learned to cover-up, cut off the ball, and throw to second second so Lee Robb, Ryan Dewulf, Mike Konarowski, Allan Lee, Simon Weagant and Jamie Kirk deserve praise. Moreover, none of us will forget Ryan's outstanding catch of a potential homerun ball in the playoffs! The Cooperator's coach perhaps summed up our efforts efforts when he stated, "You were the best of the two best teams!" Several times throughout the year umpires commented on the, good behaviour and sense of fair play exhibited exhibited by our boys. In fact one umpire umpire made a point of explaining that these favourable impressions would -be included in his* written report. There could be no better commendation commendation for our players, and both the coaches and parents are proud of their efforts. See you at spring training!
