YEAR YOUR YEAR? come up short The Port Perry Merchant Bantam fastball club travelled to Stouffville on Thursday, May 25 where they fought hard but came up just a little short. This writeup is brought to you by Monsma Electric, a business you can count on to light up your life. Stouffville and Port have had a rival- ry going on for quite a while now and even though Stouffville is a triple A club compared to Port Perry's C rating they have always had very close and hard fought games and this one was to be no different. Prior to this game Stouffville had played seven games giving up a to- tal of only four runs over that period but the Merchants weren't to be intimidat- ed by these numbers as they came out swinging breaking the game open early with four runs in their half of the first inning. After shutting down Stouffville in their home half the Merchants pushed another run across to up their lead to 5- 0 after only an inning and a half. Then in the bottom of the second in- ning things started to fall apart on the Merchants. First a missed fly ball then a botched grounder and all of a sudden Stouffville is back in the game with the score now 5-3. The Merchants continued to battle through as they again pickeduparunin their half of the third inning to stretch their lead out to a 6-2 count. Once again however the error beetle got back into the Merchants game and it cost them big time as three errors led to three Stouffville runs and all of a sudden we PURE EY SH TU Se have a tie game at six a piece. The Merchants regained the lead as Ryan Williamson lined a drive to the gap in left centre field that went for a home run to give the Merchants a 7-6 lead. This lead was also squandered away, as following a hit batter, a walk: and a double the Merchants found themselves down by an 8-7 count. The local boys just couldn't muster up an- other run to pull even and went down to defeat by an 8-7 margin. This game was a very exciting game right from start to finish with lots of good defensive plays as well as good hit- ting. Some of the defensive highlights of the game were excellent catches on line drives by Ryan Hawkins and Ryan Wil- liamson, a superb running catch by cen- tre fielder Owen 'Radar" St. John and great pitching from starter Clay Brown whose pitching kept the Stouffville bat- ters off balance. Leading the offence was Ryan Wil- liamson with two singles and a home run while others to kick in with some of- fence were Jon Froats with a double and a single, Doug Short with a single and walks by Jason Best and Owen St. John. The Merchants next home game is Wednesday, May 31 against Bradford with an 8:30 p.m. start time. Come on out and support these local boys that are representing your town. We would also like to wish Mike Phoenix a speedy recovery from a brok- en ankle that will keep him out of the lineup for a while. Get well soon Mike - we miss you.
