24 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, September 19, 1989 a iia iia i iii a iil ta Se. lit i Cl Mi LC EE Sa Team knocked from rain-delayed OASA final tournament in Waterford End of the trail for the XL Eagles The Port Perry Eagles had to battle some pretty good ball teams and some very lousy weather at the OASA Interme- diate fastball championship held over the weekend in Wa- terford, west of Hamilton. The Eagles lost their first game 9-6 Saturday morning to Tavistock, and when the rains washed out the diamonds, they did not get back on the field un- til the next day. In the 9-6 loss to Tavistock, Larry Pilkey collected four hits, including a home run. At one point early, the Ea- gles led this one 4-3, but Tavis- tock rallied for four in the 3rd inning, and never looked back. Pitching chores for the Ea- gles were shared by Lawrie Wil- liams, Al Heintzman and Ken Irvine. Facing elimination in this double knock-out tournament, the Eagles caught fire Sunday morning to "mercy" Melbourne 9-1 after five innings. Al Heintzman fanned sev- en batters in five innings to get the win. Dave Burnett had a homer, Jay Williams two doubles, Jeff Bricknell and Ken Bryant with singles. Larry Pilkey again provid- ed spark at the plate as he col- lected three singles. The Eagles seemed to get a second life after that victory as they faced New Liskeard and eked out a 3-2 win to keep their hopes alive. Heintzman went the dis- tance on the mound, with the eventual winning run scored by Larry Pilkey, who stole home. At the plate, Dave Dickson connected for a triple, with sin- gles coming from the bats of Jeff Bricknell, Steve Connors and Steve Durham. Late Sunday afternoon, the Eagles suited up their third game of the day against the host club Rockford from Waterford. A victory here would have given Port Perry a chance to ad- vance "the hard way" into the championship against Brace- bridge, which to that point was un-defeated. But against the hometown Rockford squad, the Eagles went down to defeat 7-1. The only bright spot was a solc home run early from Pil- key. The team was then held to Just five singles the rest of the way. All three pitchers shared duties on the mound in this de- feat. Manager Doug Scott, natu- rally disappointed at the out- come of the tournament as far as his team is concerned, had high words of praise for the all- round play of third baseman Larry Pilkey and catcher Jeff Bricknell. That wraps up the fastball season for the Eagles. Though the end was disappointing, the season did feature one major highlight when Eagles won the annual invitation tournament in Port Perry the August 1 weekend.

There were 26 teams entered in the annual Port Perry Rotary Club Golf Tournament' held Sept. 12 at Sunnybrae. And It took a two-hole playoff to decide the winners in this best ball scramble format. At left Jim Grieve of the Rotary Club presents trophies to Earl Thompson of Port Hope, Ralph Ballard and Chic Carnegie, both from Port Perry, and Larry Adamcryck of Port Hope. They finished at 11 under par, tied with the team of Paul Van Camp, Todd Wilbur, Tim Thompson and lan Griffin. A birdie on the second playoff hole de- _- cided the issue. Proceeds from this tournament will be used by the Rotary Club for com< munity projects, including the Hospital Building Fund. MoJacks double Bruins in first exhibition game The Port Perry MoJacks opened the pre-season series of exhibition games Sunday night, and they got started on the right foot with a 6-3 victory over the Uxbridge Bruins. Rookie forward Rob Luke led the scoring with a pair of goals, with singles coming from Rob Ganz, Kevin Gibson, and veterans John Harman and Warren Geer. For the visitors, Paul Sin- clair had two and Greg Cook chipped in with a singleton. This was a typical exhibi- tion game as both coaches load- ed their benches with players looking to catch a spot in the lineup. The result was a acrambly kind of hockey game with a lot of the play between the blue lines as players worked to get their timing down and find their skating legs. The MoJacks never trailed in this one as they owned a 3-2 lead after 20 minutes, and were ahead 4-2 at the end of the sec- ond period. The Bruins made it 4-3 ear- ly in the third, but two goals late in the game from the MoJacks cemented their first victory of the new Central Junior C sea- son. A week ago, in an interview with the Port Perry Star, head coach Ken Harman said the stress this season will be on de- fensive play. He had to be fairly pleased with the two netminders who shared the duties Sunday night. Dwayne Mackie played the first 30 minutes and he was fol- lowed by Kevin Thrasher, a Whitby native who spent time in the Legionaire camp in Oshawa. Thrasher was especially sharp, stopping a clear break- way and challenging shooters. He looks like a stand-up type of goalie with quick hands. Several players from last year's squad were not in uni- form Sunday night, including forwards Brad Menzies, Len Giacalone, Steve Durham and Todd Taylor. Defenseman Steve Connors, who can expect to see a lot of ice time along the blue line, was out of the line up as well. He and netminder Brad Bricknell were playingin a fast- ball tournament. The MoJacks dressed sev- eral players who were in the Port Perry Minor Hockey sys- tem last season, including An- drew Steele, Kevin Gibson, For all your NEW or USED CAR NEEDS with excellent service, contact sales rep., JEFF KROONENBERG Steve Staniland, Mike Sorley, Jim Vernon, John Lally, Jarrett Harman and Jan Heyes. Veterans Chris Arsenault and Chris Edmonson took regu- lar shifts along the blue line, and both these guys will likely be mainstays on the MoJack de- fense this season. Also returning to the line- up was Bill Lawrenson. He's a versatile guy who can kill penal- ties and play forward or de- fense. With training camp just into its second week, and with three weeks to go before the regular season opens, the Mo- Jacks are notin a great hurry to sign players at this stage. And they have four pre- season games left before Octo- ber 1. They will be on the ice for two more exhibition games this week, starting Thursday night ('Sept. 21) at the Scugog Arena against the Little Britain Me- chants for an 8:00 PM face off. On Saturday, they travel to Pickering for a game against the Ajax Axemen. PHILP PONTIAC BUICK LIMITED B5-8474 or (re=.) 288-3828
