Napanee, perennial con- tenders for the tourney crown, finally hit the jackpot with a 10-2 shellacking in the final. Agincourt was left standing at the alter for the second year in a row. They were finalists a year ago to a powerful Rinbrook squad that eventually won the national championship. This year's Canadian tournament is held in Swift. Current, Saskatchewan and Napanee has notified the Port Perry organizers of its intent to attend. Tournament chairman Wayne Venning handed over a cheque in excess of $1000 to Napanee's Clark was relieved by Eric Jones, a southpaw whome Napanee had feasted on in the first game. The key blows of the six run frames were two run extra base hits by Chris Brant and Doug Weese as they faced Jones. Weese's shot was a long "triple to the centerfield fence that narrowly missed clearing it. One hit that did not miss clearing the wall was Kevin Young's blast for Agincourt the previous inning. Young overpowered a Kevin MacDonald delivery sending it to the left center field alley. Napanee touched Clark for at least one run in each of the first four frames. Brant singled in the home half of the first and scored on Weese's triple A throwing error by catcher Rob Jones, the tournament's Most V. playing the extra game, since they were the un- defeated team in the final. ~ They needed only to win the first game while Agincourt was faced with the propo- sition of having to win twice to earn the Western junket. Rob Boyle scored the winning run in the first extra frame when he doubled off loser Bill Langridge, was sacrificed along and came home on a fly ball. It was Boyle who made a spectacular catch in the bottom of the sixth that saved a certain extra base hit and a possible inside the park homer. He made a driving catch in the gap after Mike Parks belted Clark's first pitch of the inning. It looked as though Napanee's three runs in the bottom of the second would ensure victory but Agincourt tied it 3-3 in the following session. Thompson singled couldn't handle a bouncing ball. Boyle retaliated with a run in the sixth after leading off with a walk and coming in from third on a squeeze bunt. Napanee came close to tying the score and forcing another extra segment in the last half of the eighth but it stranded Parks at third base. Joe Seiford of Kitchener was voted the Most Valuable Pitcher of the 23 team get together. He hurled the only no hitter in the 45 games. Agincourt catcher Ross Jones was selecfed at the tournament MVP and he received a plaque from Don Engle, tournament director for the Ontario Amateur Softball Association.

His last goal, shot in from an almost impossible angle, was a beauty. Glen Page and goalie, Brian Kerry, were stalwarts in defense. Indeed, Glen scored a goal with a well taken shot from a direct free-kick outside the penalty box. Valiant efforts by Mil Port Perry Auto team to break the shut out was to no avail with Peter Brock, Neil Mark and Dean Stone coming close but being held out by superb goalkeeping and the woodwork. by Coach Tony Schincariol Port Perry Printing Devils 15 Hampton 0 The awesome potential of the Port Perry Printing Devils was evident last night in a 15 to 0 romp over the Hampton soccer club.
