This is the second year Minor Softball has hosted international exhibition games in Port Perry. Last year the Soos played the Oshawa Hornets and more than 1400 spectators of all ages enjoyed the action at the north diamond. And local softball officials are just as excited about the double header this year between the Gators and the Soos. Terry Baytor, director of operations for the Toronto Gators said at a news conference last week that Darren Zack, ranked the top pitcher in the world, will be on the mound likely facing the Soos Mike Peichnik, a hard throwing lefty from Victoria BC coming off a fantastic 1993 season. Of course, local fastball fans will recall Darren Zack when he pitched for Garden River in the 1986 Intermediate Cc championship in Port Perry. The Greenbank Gamblers won it that year, but Zack's pitching was the talk of the tournament. He'll have his work cut out for him July 14 against a powerful Soo lineup that includes slugging catcher Tim Wahl and Bill Boyer, who can do it all with the bat. Along with Zack, the Gators have Oshawa native Brad Baker on the roster and he will likely pitch the second half of the twin bill.
