Shaump pitched very well for four innings, but St. Mary's kept picking away at the lead and eventually won 15-11.

Shaump, Luke Pilkey, Justin Shinn, Stuart Cochrane, Jon Breen, Tyler Lee, Jeff Corbett and Justin Vandergaast. Dar- ryl Copithorn did a great job catching.

On Thursday, June 30, the Port Perry Bantam Merchants stumbled into Scarborough on the heels of a two-game losing streak. Matt Kay had been acti- vated from the disabled list and was making his first start in al- most a month. The Merchants, who hadn't played in over a week, showed no signs of rustiness as they quickly posted three runs in the first on consecutive singles by Darryl Moase, Ryan William- son, Brad Morton and Jason Lo- gan. 'Another run in the second, scored by Moase when Morton drove him home, had the visi- However, Port was by no means out of the woods yet and Scarborough proved this, as they chipped away at the lead and eventually knotted the game at a half a dozen runs each in the sixth. Port would then lose a heart- breaker as Scarborough scored the winning run in their last at at. Despite suffering their third loss in a row, Port came away feeling better knowing that they had played one of their bet- ter games during this recent tailspin. The Merchants next home ac- tion is Wednesday, July 6, tors on top and in control. against Thornhill. fi Next weekend marks the mid-point of the season at Mosport Speedway and the track is going to kick off the second half of the year with abang. The Saturday night racing card will be packed with action in Mosport's four regular classes as the drivers will enjoy a "double points" night. The extra points, coupled with alittle bonus in the winner's pay cheque should prove to be a great incentive for our local hard chargers. And the fun continues on Sunday. The gates will swing open at 11:30 a.m. to welcome the Inter- national Super-Modified Association (ISMA) cars on their only trip north of the border this year. These mega-horsepower winged bullets have been a crowd fa- | vorite in the past and with defending Mosport champion Joe Go- sek and Stouffville's Gary Morton in the field, the action is guar- anteed to be intense. To ensure that the fans get their dollars worth, our "Sunday Afternoon at the Races" will also feature the second of three ap- earances this season of the American Canadian Tour. This 100 ap event is a qualifier for the prestigious Oxford 250 race, to be run late this summer at the Maine Speedway. This is bound to be an exciting weekend of racing, come early and pray for sun. 'As previously mentioned, our regular racers will be running for double points this weekend, so the overall standings could be drastically changed a week from now, but here's how things look, to date. | Defending champion Doug Todgham still holds the Thunder- Car points lead and added to his overall total with a third place finish behind Ritchie Mannette and Scott Harrison in Satur- day's feature race. Earlier heat wins went to Harrison, Dan Rob- inson, Don Andrews and Don Coppins. Andy Warbutton strengthened his lead in the Street Stock points chase with a heat win and the feature victory on Satur- day night. Brent Sullivan from Whitby holds down second spot overall followed closely by Duke Paul, Jim Rossiter and Glen Fricker. In the qualifying runs, Royce Jones, Rick Boucher and Frick- er all claimed checkered flags. The tightest points battle belongs to the ACT Late Model divi- sion. Concord's Joe Goncalves entered Saturday's action with a | slight advantage over Willowdale's Dwight Brown and they bat- tled to a draw in the heat runs, each taking one victory. In the feature showdown, Goncalves and Brown broke away from the pack with the Camaro of Goncalves leading the way. Onlap 13, after several circuits running side by side, Brown suc- cessfully made the outside pass work in turn four and took the point. Several turns later Goncalves suddenly slowed and re- tired to the pits leaving Brown to claim a convincing win and al- lowing him to move into a virtual tie for top spot. Mike Frederick maintains third position overall, just barely ahead of Whitby's Terry Robichaud. The best news for local fans is that the 1991 Late Model Sportsman Champion, Blackstock's Daryl Leatherdale, has a Teasorabls, albeit far from safe, lead in the overall Sportsman class. The bad news is that Daryl had a rough outing last weekend and the competition is getting closer. Trenton's Vic Auger put on a winning demonstration as he claimed both of his heat races and also took the checkers in the eature event. Merv Walt, in a rare guest appearance and A Hamilton claimed the other heat why pps lex Fortunately for the local boy these victors are well back in the overall picture, but the results from this coming weekend could "have a major impact on Daryl's efforts to repeat as title holder.
