"A Family Tradition for 127 Years" Now seven games into the regular season schedule, the Nonquon Jets hold a record of four wins against three losses and are starting to show signs of becoming a very sound slo-pitch team. In recent wins over the Manil- la Imperials and Woodville Ma- roons, the Jets were able to come from behind in the later innings, thanks in part to what head coach Jim Wills feels is a positive change in his club's at- titude. "There's a better spirit this year," said Wills after a 15-14 nailbiter in Greenbank. Wills' players showed plenty of char- acter, erasing a one-run deficit in the final inning after surren- dering thelead in theeighth. Dave Smith went five for five against Manilla, collecting two runs batted in and saving an- other. Smith said the team has come a long way in two years to- wards creating the right mix within the lineup. "The team's together now," he said. "We've got some younger players and we've got a few old- er guys on the team that have been around and know their stuff. Everybody's got a job to do and we have confidence in each and every player." A trip to Woodville on June 9 tested the Jets' confidence not only in their players but also in their coach as circumstances forced Wills to take the field as the catcher. Though going only one for four at the plate, Wills cashed in two runs that were instrumen- tal in a dramatic 10-9 comeback win over the Maroons. Junior tennis players do well at tournament Some Port Perry Junior mem- bers did well again over the weekend. Tasha Vanderwyst, Alex Wordley, Ian Johnston, Brad Johnston, Aaron Stiller and Adam Johnston competed in the Belleville Junior Open played on red clay. Adam John- ston won the Ul8 Boys event while Brad Johnston made it to the semi-finals of the U14 Boys event. While some members were competing in Belleville; Kent Johnston and Carrie Ollerton were in Hamilton for the Ul4 Ontario Cup playing for the East Region team. Other team members were Martin Javor, Pickering; Chris McNabny, Pickering; Adam Marshall, Gloucester; Kelly McNabny, Pickering; Sasha Exeter, Pick- ering and Jill Delicate, Picker- ing. The East Region played the West Region in the first round. Kent Johnston won his first match for.the East Region 6-2, 7-6 over Teddy Musgrove of Windsor. In doubles, Kent teamed up with Martin Javor of Pickering to defeat Rupin Mal- hotra and Teddy Musgrove of Windsor. In doubles, Carrie played with Kelly McNabny of Pickering and lost 6-2, 7-6 (7-5). The East Region eventually lost 10 matches to two matches. This was the first time ever the Port Perry Stars are undefeated The Star girls played two games this week. The first was against Woodview on Tuesday night with two double plays by Heather Anderson and LeeAnn Goslin and another by Charlene Criscione and Kara Newell. Shona Moase and Michelle « Moynham gloved line drives. The second game hosted the Stars and Glen Stewart with good fielding by Heather Ander- son and base stealing by Krista LeFort. Batting for our girls has been solid with Julie Stephens connecting with a home run in both games. East Region played in this very prestigious tournament. Whether win or lose, we must congratulate all juniors who took part in these tournaments. The next O.T.A. tournament is in Scarborough, July 1-4 for all junior age groups (Ul2, Ul4, U16, U18). If you wish to enter it, please give me a call at 985- 8924 by June 20, otherwise it may be too late. Jets hold 4-3 record Behind 9-0 after four innings, the Jets' defence closed the door on Woodville hitters, not allow- ing a runner past second base through the final five frames. Solid defence gave Nonquon a shot at getting back in the game. A lone run in the seventh inning must have been the spark the Jets needed, for they exploded, scoring nine more in the final twoannings to earn the win and a split in the season se- ries with Woodville. The win over Manilla and the win in Woodville were the kind of gutcheck performances a team can use as benchmarks ifa confidence problem should ever arise but, with the way Non- quon has been playing, such problems seem unlikely. Mark Elliot, who drove in four runs against Manilla, in- cluding the game winner, said the team's new outlook this sea- son helps the players relax in situations where last year, the may have panicked, adding "All the guys have been around each other for a year or so now and we're really starting to loosen up." Perhaps Jets' infielder Shawn Bastarache said it best when he summed up the team's 1993 mandate this way: "We re- alize that slo-pitch is a good time sport and we come to the park to have a good time, but slo-pitch is also a good team sport so we try to come to the park with a good team as well."
