Ontario Senior Fastball league When the Greenbank Gam- blers arrived in St. Thomas for the Ontario Senior Men's Fast- ball Championships last week- end, the London-St. Thomas pa- pers listed the top 10 men's fastball teams in the province and the Greenbank Club were ranked seventh overall. The Ontario teams ranked ahead of the Gamblers were the Toronto Gators; Waterloo Twins; Napanee Express; Kemptville Thunder; Owen Sound Canadian Tire and the Sheddon-London Ironheads. And to show that the high ranking was deserved the Gam- blers played extremely well in the 13 team double knock out tournament to finish in sixth position. The Gamblers had wins over Toronto Sammys and Flambeo- rough and were stopped by Kemptville and Waterloo. Greenbank pitching duo of Jim Chilvers and Mark Goreski were in top form during the tournament and the defense in general was sound. Kemptville stopped the Gam- blers by a 3-0 score as Marc Si- gouin and Jim Cowdry com- bined on the shutout, but Greenbank bounced back to edge Toronto Sammys and the Flamborough "As" by identical scores of 3-2. Veteran south paw Peter Landers (the hook!) start- ed the game for Flamborough but Pete ran into control trouble and left the game in the third in- ning. Game four saw Greenbank and Waterloo hook up in a dan- dy matchup that went into ex- tra innings before a winner was decided. Waterloo had a 2-0 lead in the top of the fourth but Greg Newells home run blast cut the lead to one. In the sev- enth the Waterloo club scored again to take a 3-1 lead but once again the Gamblers came from behind to score twice and send the game to extra innings. 'Don Beaton started the Greenbank rally with a pinch hit single and Steve Baker came on to draw a walk. With two runners aboard and two out, centre fielder Bill Buys unload- ed a triple to right centre and the game was tied. With the winning run on third base, Steve Durham hit a high chop- per to short and was thrown out by half a step to send the game toovertime. In the eighth inning Waterloo scored twice as the ninth man in the batting order dropped a Texas league blooper into short left field with two out and two runners on. The Gamblers were not fin- ished yet and Greg Newell con- nected for his second home run of the game (one off Waterloo starter Jim Schnarr and the second off Dan Yantzi) to make the score 5-4. Jim Chilvers sin- gled sharply to right field to keep Greenbank hopes alive but Yantzi bore down to retire the next two batters and the Gam- blers were elitninated. A great touknament in an ex- cellent St. Thomas facility which was well run and great entertainment for the huge crowds which showed up for the™® four day event. In Oshawa City League ac- tion the Gamblers won twice last week to hold onto top spot, four points up on the Scarboro Royals. Don Beaton was a one man wrecking crew as his four hits led Greenbank to a 5-4 win over the Port Perry Juveniles. Thursday night in Green- bank the Gamblers edged the Oshawa Flying Squirrels by a 3- 2 count as Mark Goreski and Chilvers combined their pitch- ing talents for the Greenbank win.
