PORT PERRY STAR - IER IY E Ea Ee Fede ots | ~ oe Tuesday, August 18, 1992 - 33 a Shawn Lewerentz, 15 of Nestleton, was a gold medalist in the long jump at an Invitational track meet in Buffalo, New York on the weekend of August 8 and 9. The Durham XL member jumped a personal best of 18 feet 3 3/4 inches. Pee Wee ModJacks close out season The Port Perry MoJack Pee Wee baseball team travelled to Thornhill on Aug. 15 to play in their league playoff tourna- ment. The Modacks' first game was a defensive struggle against Scarborough. Port got a break in their first at bat as Darryl Moase reached base on an error and came around to give the ModJacks a 1-0 lead on a Brad Morton double.. The .MoJacks hung onto their 1-0 lead until the bottom of the second inning when Scarborough tied the game up at one apiece. This seemed to swing the mo- mentum in Scarborough's favor as they rallied for two more runs in the bottom of the third to take a 3-1 lead. The score stayed this way until the top of the fifth inning when with two out, Ryan Hawkins walked and came around to score on Jeff Clarke's long double, who in turn scored the tying run on a Darryl Moase double. The ModJacks couldn't get the go ahead run and went into the bottom of the fifth inning tied at three apiece. Scarborough's lead off batter drove a lone ball to deep right centre where Brad Morton made a diving catch to record the out and possibly save the go ahead run as this ball was headed for the gap. Scarborough didn't let up though as they got a base hit fol- lowed by an error to allow the runner to get to third then a fly ball and the Mo.Jacks are trail- ing by a 4-3 score. The Mo.Jacks tried hard to come back even getting the tying run to third but just couldn't get it in. Matt Kay was on the mound for the ModJacks going the distance and doing a great job despite the 4-3 loss. Also hitting for the Mo- Jacks were Doug Short with two singles and Tim Fitzpatrick and Jason Best with a single each. The Mo.Jacks' next opponent was Thornhill and a win was needed to keep them in the tour- nament. The MoJacks came out flying getting numerous run- ners on but not being able to cash them in. The defence with Matt Kay once again on the mound was doing its part as the first three innings were score- less. Then in the top of the fourth Thornhill strung a few base hits together and pushed four runs across to take the lead. The ModJacks weren't about to give up as they got one run back in the bottom of the fourth and three more in the bottom of the fifth to tie the game up at four apiece. The top of the sixth in- ning was to be the ModJacks downfall and season as the er- ror bug struck and Thornhill managed four more runs to take an 8-4 lead which the local boys just couldn't cut into. Matt Kay took the loss on the mound again pitching well, striking out nine Thornhill batters. Doing the hitting for the Mo- Jacks in this game were Brad Morton, two singles and a dou- ble; Doug Short and Darryl Moase, three singles each; Jeff Clarke, two singles; and Jason Best, Jason Logan and Owen St. John with a single each. lkven though the ModJacks didn't fair well at their final tournament, they did have a successful season as after a slow start they got things going by mid-season to win the "A" championship in Niagara Falls and the "B" championship in Cavan. Both of these tourna- ments had some highly ranked teams which our MoJacks rose to the occasion to take on and defeat. To the players that put forth the effort, hard work and will- ingness to learn and try, to the parents who got their boys to practices and games and showed patience and under- standing with us, we say 'thank you" for a great season. Your coaches Ron Short, Don Surman and Craig Venning. = 2 x? ge > ps gy | Cy Wilson's Pintos were the Lake Scugog Distr bers of the winning team. Front row from left are: R. Gaudau, D. Stanley, K.
