The Merchants have been very successful over the last two weeks. In league play, the Ban- tams easily defeated East Gwil- limbury and Richmond Hill with Jeff McConkey and Bill Za- pauranuik getting the wins. On the weekend, the team travelled to Roseneath for their annual tournament. The Port team got off to a slow early morning start but managed to pull off a 6-4 win over Hastings. Bill Zapauranuik got the win on the mound. In the second game, the Port team faced the host Ro- seneath team. The Port bats came alive and the pitching combination of Kay and Zapau- ranuik were at the top of their games. The final score was Port Perry 16 - Roseneath 1. This win put the Merchants into -the championship game against a power-hitting Nor- wood squad. The local boys faced a hard-throwing Norwood pitcher but the Merchants were geared up for the match. The first batter of the game, Ian Shrigley stepped to the plate and gave Port a 1-0 lead with his home run. To lead off the second inning, Port Perry's first baseman, Jason Haliburton, hit another home run. In the late innings, the bats came alive to give Port a 9-0 lead. The Port team played excellent defence with special mention going to Jason Logan for a fine game at shortstop, and to Jeff Clarke for a pinpoint thrown from right field to put out a runner tagging from third. The final score was 9-3 for Port Perry over Norwood with Matt Kay pitching his best game of the season. The coach- ing staff was very pleased with the team's effort and are look- ing towards the OASA play downs and a berth in the pro- vincial championship tourna- ment. Coaching staff set for hockey season Less than two months from now, minor hockey will once again be underway in Port Perry. . The executive and board of di- rectors are in the process of pre- paring for the opening date, which is the same day school re- sumes, Tuesday, Sept. 7. Mr. Michael Sanderson has again been hired to conduct condition- ing and power skating instruc- tion starting on that day. At the last board meeting, coaches and managers for a number of the rep teams were appointed. They are as follows: Novice: Bob Spencley, Ken Parry, Murray Empringham. Atom I: Theresa Hutchinson. Peewee I: Garry Geer, Ed Teno, Ralph McCullough.: Bantam I: Todd Wilbur, Steve Connors, John Ennis, Hil- lis and Carol Wilbur. Midget I: Peter Christie, Ja- mie Menzies, Sandy Garvock. Midget II: Steve Thompson, Eric Donnelly. Juvenile: Dave Barkey, Carl Fitzgerald. Officials for the Atom II, Pee- wee II, Bantam II, Midget III, and house league teams are yet to be appointed. Registration will be held Aug. 27, 28 and 29. The rates have not yet been set, but it is quite likely that they will have to be raised to cover the increase in insurance charges levied by the OMHA. Last year's rate was $5 per participant, this year the rate is likely to be in the neigh- borhood of $12 to $16. With regard to fundraising, the board has decided to contin- ue with the policy initiated last year. The plan is to charge a base rate for registration, and to add to that an additional "fundraising". levy of $40 per family. This buys you a book of $40 worth of scratch-and-pay tickets good for draws on "A Day With The Leafs," "Leaf Sport" Gift Certificates and "Pat's Gar- age" Prints. There will also be sellers prizes, including an au- tographed Doug Gilmour sweater, and every player regis- tered will receive a Doug Gil- mour poster. The Ontario Special Olym- pics program benefits from this endeavour as well, receiving $4 for each book sold. If desired, the tickets may be sold to other people to recover the additional $40 paid. Selling them to others in effect reduces the cost of playing hockey. An opportunity to further reduce the cost will exist in that addi- tional books will be available at registration on a first-come- basis for a reduced price of $30 (meaning you make a profit of $10 per book if you sell these ex- tra tickets to others). Mark the registration dates on your calendar now so you don't forget them! Peewee MoJacks drop three games | The Port Perry ModJack Pee- Wee rep fastball team started the past week off strong, pick- ing up a win against Vaughan but then defaulted a game and lost two. The win against Vaughan - came on Tuesday, July 13 as the visiting MoJack team played good sound ball with good hit- ting and pitching. The local boys jumped out to a quick 3-2 lead after two innings then real- ly blew this game open with an eleven run burst in their half of the second inning and cruised 'to a 16-6 win. Clayton Brown pitched the distance for the win while striking out four along the way. Doing the hitting for the ModJacks in this game were: Scott Jeffery with a double and two singles, Ryan Williamson a homer and a double, Clayton Brown a double and a single, Jason Best and Marc Versage each hit a triple and a single, Big Nick Skerratt a homer, Doug Short with a single and two walks each to Jon Froats, Owen St. John and Aaron Levy. Then on Thursday night the Modacks drove to Richmond Hill to play, but some just couldn't find the local diamond that is snuggled away in a sub- division and this resulted in a default due to the lack of players. (Good try, Bill and Ivan). Next stop for the ModJacks was a trip to Peterborough on Saturday, July 17. This game had all the makings of a real close affair as both teams were really fired up and playing some excellent ball. After two score- less innings and both defences playing this game really tight, it was the MoJacks that broke out on top with two runs in their half of the third inning to take a 2-0 lead. Then, in the bottom of the third, Peterborough got a run in and after a couple of questionable calls from the very local umpire on the bases, the ModJacks unravelled big time as Peterborough used the favors to their advantage and picked up a whole bucket full of runs. The MoJacks went on to lose this contest by a 16-2 score. Clayton Brown started the game and did well for the first three in- nings but then after the bad calls and things fell apart, Jon Froats had to come on and fin- ish things up. Doing the hitting in this game for the MoJacks were Doug Short with two sin- gles and a single each to Marc Versage and Owen St. John. Owen also made a couple of great catches in centre field. The ModJacks final game of the week was on Sunday, July 18 in Port against Bramalea. Jon Froats was on the mound for this game and along with some good defence behind him, they only gave up two runs in the first, one in the second and one in the fifth, but the Bramal- ea pitcher was having a hot game of his own as he pitched a two-hitter while only allowing one run and taking a 4-1 win over the MoJacks. Picking up the MoJack hits were Doug Short and Jason Best with a single each. Following the MoJacks game on Sunday, all the players and their families were treated to pizza, pop and a swim at the home of Cathy and Jack Mon- sma. Thanks a lot, folks. The ModJacks continue their busy schedule this week with games Monday in Markham, then back home here in Port with a rematch against Peter- borough on Tuesday, July 19 with a 6:30 start time.
