John Searle of Markham allow- ed only two hits and suffered the OSS. Port Perry scored the only run of the game, as Steven Stiles reached second base on an error by the Markham shortstop and scored on the first of two base hits by Grant Kay. Port Perry did not commit an error in this game, that was com- pleted in one hour for a fine ex- hibition of softball by these two . teams. Port Perry travelled to Bramalea on Saturday, and played the first game against the host team, and defeated them 6-0. Denis Smith pitched a "tidy" two hitter and struck out nine Bramalea hitters. Steven Stiles, Steven Parish and Kent Jamieson all had singles in the third inning, when the Port Perry boys scored three runs. Corey Bricknell had two hits, with Gavin Cochrane, Denis Smith and Todd Smart all having one hit each. Game two in the tournament put Port Perry against Pickering and the local team won by a 7-4 score. Chad Venning picked up the win and contributed a double.

Other hits were by Jeff Card, Steven Stiles and Denis Smith with a pinch-hit triple. This three game sweep of the round-robin tournament put Port Perry in the championship game against a strong team from Sarnia. Port Perry sent Denis Smith to the mound for this game and the "slender" left-hander responded with another excellent perfor- mance as he allowed only five hits. John McLean started for Sarnia and allowed the Port Perry team four hits. Port Perry threatened to score in the second inning when Jeff Card and Denis Smith both singl- ed and Kent Jamieson walked to load the bases but could not score. Steven Stiles doubled in the fourth inning and Kent Jamieson singled in the fifth inning but on both occasions the team came up empty. Sarnia scored the only run of the game in the top of sixth inn- ing on two base hits. The coaching staff was very proud of the team during this tournament as they played fine defensively and got excellent pit- ching. Corey Bricknell and Grant Kay did an excellent job behind the plate on a very long, hot day.
