Tim Jones and Mike LeFort on mound Taylor Ford Mites win season opener with a no- hitter On May 12 our fastball all- star entry in the York-Durham league opened the regular sea- son at home against Aurora. Our enthusiastic lads started strongly with a 5-1 lead after the first inning and went on to a 14-3 victory. Our pitching duo of Tim Jones and Mike LeFort com- bined for their second consecu- tive "no-hitter" having accom- plished the same recently in a hornhill exhibition game. In this game they notched 11 strikeouts while walking just four. Offensively the Port Perry squad was led by Matt Sker- ratt's second inning two-run homer and Jeff Kane's two hits. Stuart = Cochrane: and Mike Koury each earned three walks to first. Single safeties were hit by Mike Wiseman, Tim "and Mike LeFort. Steve McLennan "and Graham Dick showed pa- tience at the plate by accepting two walks each. Defensive coverage by Matt Breen, Mike Milligan and Matt | Clayton continue to improve and overall the team is learning to pick up their signals better with the result being smarter hitting and base running.
