Newmarket and Vaughan Port Perry's rep fastball team in the York-Durham League have been working hard in prac- tices and so far their efforts have been rewarded as they moved to a 4-0 league record. Last week with a road win in Newmarket and a home field beauty of a game win as well. On a cold May 17 in Newmar- ket our lads endured for a 12-9 victory. Some defensive lapses on fly balls and too many walks was overshadowed by key strikeouts and aggressive base running to steal our victory. Pitchers Tim Jones and Mike LeFort combined for just three hits while notching 12 strike- outs for Port Perry. Mike also belted a solo homer in the third to helpin the win. - Offensively Matt Clayton slammed a double to right field while Matt Skerratt, Wiseman, Mike Milligan and Tim chipped in with singles. Mike Koury scored two runs af- ter free passes and Jeff Kane also walked twice. ~ Fans were treated to a superb fastball display in Port Perry on May 19 as the Vaughan pitcher zoomed his pitches in for 15 strikeouts. In a display of in- tense concentration on defense, however, our players gave no ground and our pitchers and catcher Matt Skerratt guarded home plate skillfully in tagging out four runners at home plate! Other good defensive plays were by Jeff at first on a hard line drive and by Tim (from shortstop) on two hard-hit balls. Team coaches were en- couraged as well by our outfield back-up plays and our infield Mike base coverage. Offensively we managed just three hits - an opposite field triple on the fairline by Matt Skerratt, a double by Jeff and a "beauty" bunt single by Mike Wiseman on a "squeeze-play" to bring in the winning run for Taylor-Ford. Again aggressive base running was a key to the victory. Pitchers Mike LeFort and Tim permitted just four hits while striking out 10 batters. Stuart Cochrane, = Graham Dick, Matt Breen and Steve Ma- cLennan have been enthusiasti- cally learning both at the plate and in the field for Port Perry and also contributed to the hard fought 3-1 victory. Good season start team - keep up your hard work! Pitching and defense lead Gamblers to two victories The Greenbank Gamblers re- corded a pair of wins this past week behind good team defense and the excellent pitching of Mark Goreski and Jim Chil- vers. While the weather for both games was cool, both Goreski and Chilvers were definitely hot as they allowed only a single run in the two encounters. At the Port Perry diamond on a cool Tuesday night (no prob- lem with mosquitoes) Mark Go- reski tossed a three hitter and struck out nine eagle batters in a 6-0 gambler win. Todd Wilbur and Lawrie Wil- liams split the Eagle pitching with Wilbur, John Butler and Steve Durham collecting the Eagle hits. For Greenbank, Jim Chilvers and Bill Buys each had a pair of hits with Terry Till, Trevor Till, Rod Real, Mark Goreski, Brian Till and and Paul Goreski each hitting safely. In Greenbank Park on Thurs- day evening the Gamblers eked out a tight 2-1 win over Oshawa O'Tooles. Oshawa out- hit Greenbank by a 6-3 margin but the Gamblers made the most of their three hits to hang on for the victory. In the bottom of the third in- ning, Brian Till drew a one out base on balls. With Paul Gore- ski at the plate, till broke for 9-10 Mites On Wednesday, May 19 Greenbank Variety won their second game of the season. This game they met Philp Pontiac Buick. Julie Lamb did a great job for Greenbank hitting a double, bringing Joey Sanchez home and putting Alaina Davis on third. Also Jennifer Hancock, Sara Hansen, Adam Olivero, Melissa Hooker and Adam Lamb had great hits for Green- bank. Philp Pontiac had great plays from their team, with a home run by Greg, great catch by their pitcher Donny Sherriffs. Both teams played very well. With a final score of 18-11 for Greenbank Variety. Keep up the great work. second and with the second baseman covering the runner, Goreski laid down a perfect bunt which was fielded by the first baseman but nobody was covering first and both runners were safe. The runners moved up on a passed ball and Mike Giroux hit one up the middle to score the only runs that Green- bank would need. Don Beaton had the other Gambler hit. Jim Chilvers tossed five shut out innings with Mark Goreski coming on in relief in the sixth. Oshawa made it close in the STONEMOOR DAY CARE CENTRES INC. 399 Queen Street, Port Perry Offers a seventh when Chris Tutton scored Rich Bricknell with a triple, but Goreski bore down to strike out Rod McLennan with the tying run at third.
