'Pitcher Lawrie Williams hurled the complete game giving up seven hits and striking out nine men to get credit for the victory. On Thursday night, before a large crowd, the return game was played with Port winning 5-2. This game was different from Monday's as the Gamblers struck for two runs in the top of the first in- ning on two hits and two Port errors. To get out of this predicament hurler Al Heintzman struck out the remaining two batters with two men still on base to give Greenbank a 2-0 lead. The XL Eagles battled back to Ygrab a 3-2 lead in the third inning. Bill Bridge singled to center, and moved to third on a Colin Wackett hit and scored on a passed ball. Rob Evans rounded out the scoring with a two run blast over the left field fence to assume the lead for good. In the fourth inning Eagle third demonstrated some dazzling foot- work by stretching a routine single into a double when the outfielder casually relayed the ball into se- cond. Then Pilkey tagged up and: moved to third base on a Heintzman fly ball out. A few pitches later, he stole home on the catcher's return throw to the pitcher, making the score 4-2. Heintzman's pitching continued to frustrate the Greenbank batters as he allowed only two hits after their first inning uprising. In the sixth in- ning, Rob Evans scored an in- surance run on his triple and Jay Williams' sacrifice fly to center field, thus giving Port Pefry XI Eagles a two game sweep for the defending Ontario Champions.

The Greenbank All Stars looked a little drowsy at first when Clare- mont jumped to a 3-0 lead in the first two innings but.in the top of the third a little spark lit a fire. It was Dar- rin Bacon and Mark Shepherd who led with 2 walks. Then it was John Ennis who cranked a single to right field scoring Bacon and Shepherd making the score 3-2 in favour of Claremont. -- Greenbank really woke up in the top of the fourth when Chris Donnel- ly led off with a ground ball to left field and Mark Shepherd followed suit with a "poke" to second base. John Ennis then took a walk and John Chronis drove a single past Claremont's short-stop to score 2 runs and make the score 4-3 for Greenbank. But it wasn't over yet! Tim Timms then hit one up the middle to score Ennis and leave the inning at a 5-3 lead for Greenbank. Claremont then got 1 run in the fifth but nothing else could get through Greenbank's defence this inning and thus the score rémained 5-4 still in favour of Greenbank. Things started to heat up a bit in the top of the seventh when Ken Winslow cranked a line drive to left centre field for a base hit. David Donneral then drew a walk and Mark Shepherd drove a classy ground ball to the outfield to score Winslow and Donneral. John Ennis then singled to bring Mark Shepherd home and make the score 8-4 for Greenbank. Claremont almost caught up hay- ing last bat but only managed to get three runs and make the final score 8-7 for the Greenbank All Stars. The All Stars played a very ex- citing and entertaining game and Greenbank's usual defence became a little shaky but came through in the long run. itching for Greenbank was Brett Puckrin who struck out 9 batters ¥ched a super game. infield, John Ennis made some spectacular catches, saving the game more than once. The whole team played well to well deserve the win. This 0.A.S.A. series proved to be "action packed and exciting and was well worth for fans to come watch.
