Two 11-inning games Exhaustion and hunger get best of Merchant Midgets This weeks sports report is sponsored by Galley Fish & Sea- food and Mike Tobin Photogra- phy. Last weekend, the Port Mid- gets participated with 31 other teams in the OASA Elimination Games in Stratford. The format used was a double knock-out with a total of 63 games re- quired over the weekend to de- clare a winner. Port's first Fame on Friday was against Markham, a rival in our own league. Our Midget Merchants won a hard fought 7- 0 game with Jeff Card pitching strong seven innings, backed up by consistent hard hitting. The second game on Satur- day morning was against Na- panee, a team which is hosting the Canadian Games this year, and has gained a reputation as being a hard team to beat. This tension filled game went into extra innings until Port squeezed out a 7-6 win in the 11th. The International Tie Breaking Rule was put into ef- fect in the 10th, where the last out of the previous inning is placed at second base. This match=up was extremely close, with Port going ahead 5-1 in the third on home runs by Steve Laird and Jeff Card. Na- panee got three runs in the same inning, and the score re- mained at 5-4 until the fifth when Napanee scored the tying run. In the eighth, Napanee was threatening, but Port pulled off a triple play to end the inning with Laird assisting on all three outs. Both teams scored in the 10th, but in the bottom of the 11th, Port scored one run on a two out RBI single by Jason McBride. Some excellent defen- sive play successfully held off Napanee in the bottom of the 11th. Gamblers The Greenbank Gamblers played a home and home series with Peterborough 1.C.G. last week in a showdown for first place in the Peterborough Men's Senior League and came out of it with a split of the two games. Tuesday night at the East City Bowl the Gamblers ran into a red hot Brian Condon who tossed a three hitter at the Gamblers enroute to a 2-0 shut out. Thursday night in Green- bank the Peterborough squad jumped nto an early 3-0 lead behind the pitching of Gary Vowels but the Gamblers got back in the game in the fourth on hits by Paul Goreski, Brian Till, Mark Goreski and coach Gary Baker to score a pair of runs. In the bottom of the fifth in- ning Greenbank tied the game when Greg Newell belted a mammoth home run to straightaway center field. But in the top of the seventh inning Peterborough took the lead again on a long fly ball by Mike Harnish with the bases loaded. Gambler center fielder Bill Buys made a game saving catch off the bat of catcher Le- [Land Jacobs for the third out with .C.GG. runners on second and third. Trailing 4-3 in the bottom of Port breathed a sigh of relief to have the "extra inning game' out of the way for the rest of the tournament, but we were far from being right! Denis Smith pitched the full 11 innings to pick up the win, striking out seven, walking none, allowing only nine hits, and four earned runs. CC With little time for lunch, the Port Merchants dashed to the next ball park to meet a team from Waterford. In spite of be- ing down 3-1 at the end of the second because of a two run homer, Port pushed ahead until Steve Laird slammed a home run over the fence in the fourth, followed in the fifth by a RBI . sacrifice fly off the bat of Jason Cochrane which scored Scott MacLennan. The next inning, Port went ahead 4-3 on a lead off double by Darrell Vander Slagt and an RBI single by MacLennan. In the seventh, Port thought they had the insurance run needed when Cochrane got on with a triple and scored on a passed ball. : The Merchants were ready to hand the win to Chad Venning who, to that point, had struck out one, walked six, allowed only two hits and two earned runs. Unfortunately, Waterford was not finished yet, and scored two to tie the game to go into ex- tra innings. The game re- - mained tied until the 10th when Port scored four runs on an RBI double by Vander Slagt, and RBI single by Card, a single by MacLennan, and a two run RBI single by McBride. Waterford didn't give up and scored four runs to tie the game again, then got the winning run on a one out fly ball sacrifice in the 11th. Talk about a group of players and fans who were drained and heart broken after this hard loss, Port's first of the tournament. Again, with no time for sup- per, Port quickly departed for another ball park to play Stitts- ville {Ottawa} under the threat of dark rain clouds and heavy winds. The previous loss, 'and the lack of time to recoup took its toll, and Stittsville quickly - went ahead 3-0 in the second in- ning. Port made it close by scoring in the fourth on a lead off double by Cochrane and an RBI double by Vander Slagt. In the sev- enth, Steve Stiles got on with a single and was headed for home to tie the game on a double by Card. Against the odds, he was thrown out at home plate on a strong acgurate throw from the field. Capd scored on an RBI sin- gle hy#MacLennan, but miracles don't always happen and time ran out with Port losing 3-2. With this loss, the Merchants were eliminated from the tour- nament. All the players should feel proud about their level of play, and a few breaks in the right places would have taken them on to the finals. On Sunday morning, as Port sadly left Stratford for home, six teams were left out of 32 competing for the top spot: Stratford, St. Catherines, Wa- terford, Hagersville, Kempt- ville, and Stittsville. In league play, Port Mer- chants beat Stroud on Tuesday with a score of 5-1, with Chad Venning picking up the win. See the "Standings Corner" for the Oshawa and District League Midget standings. The schedule of the next two weeks: July 6 - Port vs Scarbo- rough Reds - 8:30 p.m.; July 7 - Markham vs Port - 8:80p.m.; July 14 - Oshawa vs Port - 8:30 hold on to top spot the seventh Terry Till was on base after being hit by a Vowels fast ball and then with two out and a full count Greg Newell hit a dramatic two run homer to win the game by a 5-4 count. Newell was the big hitter for Greenbank with his two homers and Paul Goreski, Brian Till and Gary Baker each added a pair of hits to go along with Mark Goreski's triple. The Peterborough team man- aged five hits off Mark Goreski with the big blow being Brian Beattys home run in the fourth. The Peterborough Juniors fi- nally hit the win column with a 3-2 win over the Winslow- Gerolamy outfit Thursday night at East City Bowl. With only two weeks remain- ing in the regular schedule for Gamblers still cling to top spot with one game remaining each with [.C.G. and Winslow- Gerolamy and a pair with the fast improving.Jrs. On the weekend at Napanee at the 1.S.C. Ontario Tourna- ment the Greenbank squad bit the dust as they defeated North Fredericksburg 3-0 behind the three hit pitching of Wayne Wells but lost a 1-0 squeeker to the host team Napanee Express and were eliminated by their nemesis this year, the Scarbo- rough Thunder. Mark Goreski held Napanee Express to six hits and a single run but Bill Langeridge threw a no hitter at the Gamblers to earn the win. Langeridge fanned 15 Greenbank batters during the game and received great support from his out field- ers. In the game against Scarbo- rough Thunder Wayne Wells and Rich Miaskowski were locked in a 2-2 ball game but in the seventh inning the Scarbo- rough right fielder Mark Pitch- er belted a home run with the bases loaded to give Scarbo- rough an exciting 6-2 win. Trevor Till and Greg Newell each had two hits with 'singles going to Terry Till, Brian Till, Mike Giroux and Gary Baker but the Thunder team has had the Gamblers number this year and defeated them for the third time. [t will soon be playoff time in the Peterborough Men's Senior League and the Ontario Senior Elimination Tourny on Aug. 1,2,3,4 in Owen Sound. The Gamblers play at home every Thursday night at 8 p.m. The no-hitter by Bill Lange- ridge was only the second no hitter ever against Greenbank with the other no-hitter being tossed by Owen Sounds Brad Underwood two years ago.
