Junior Merchants starting to show true colors This sports report for the "Junior" Merchant Fastball Team is spon- sored by Haugens, Wil- lhamson's GM, Ernst & Young, and Precision Con- struction. In two close games in the Oshawa Men's League last week, the Port Jun- iors continued to show a return to the competitive form which they have dis- played over the past three years. With the late start due to rain delays _and players arriving back from university, it has taken the past three weeks to start seeing the pitching, hitting, and fielding come together. The Junior Eliminations are less than a month away, and the confidence of the team is starting to show in all aspects of the game in readiness for this key tournament. Last Tuesday, the Jun- iors started strong against Port Perry Antrim by scoring three runs in the first inning. Unfortu- nately, due to a couple of errors and a mammoth two run home run by An- trim's Steve Connors, the Juniors ended up at the wrong end of an 10-7 score. The strangest play of the night was a triple hit by Steve Laird, who was awarded home plate when the umpire decided the fielder had made a play before the ball rolled under the fence. Chad Venning pitched three in- nings, striking out one, walking one allowing four hits and three earned runs. Jason Swift pitched the last four innings, striking out one, walking four, allowing three hits and four earned runs. On Thursday night, Port travelled to Durham Fields to play "The Heat" - one of the top teams in the league. Port again started strong by scoring a run in the first when Rich Burk- holder, one with a single, was scored by a Laird RBI. The Juniors held the score close until the fifth inning when "The Heat" put three runs across the plate to beat the Juniors 4 - 1 in a game closer than the score indicates. Jeff Card pitched three excel- lent innings, giving up no walks, striking out five, allowing two hits and one earned run before pulling a muscle in his back. Swift came in as the reliever and struck out three, walked three, allowed two hitsand one earned run. In both games, the downfall was unearned runs and home runs given up. The team must work on these areas if they are to be one of the top teams at the Junior Elimina- tions. Hitters for the week: Ryan Burkholder - single, two RBI; Rich Burkholder - two singles, double, triple, RBI; Jeff Card - RBI; Duane Empringham - single, RBI; Steve Laird - three singles, triple, two RBI; Scott MacLennan - single; Jason McBride - 3 walks; Darrell Vander- Slagt - single. Schedule for the coming week: Tuesday, June 6 - Scarborough vs. Port Jun- iors 8:30; Wednesday, June 7 - Juniors vs. Brad- ford 8:30 Centennial Park; Saturday and Sun- S- day June 10 and 11 Oshawa Junior Tourna- ment - Durham Fields; Tuesday, June 13 - Mark- ham vs. Port Juniors 8:30. Legion On June 1, our rep Squirt fastball team host- ed Vaughan who were last year's league champions. The team did better than expected through four in- nings after storming back from a 3-0 deficit to tie things up with three runs of their own in the bottom of the fourth. Unfortu- nately, the wheels fell off thereafter after some walks and errors inter- spersed amongst several hits. David Akermanis had a clutch two run single to ig- nite the fouth inning Le- gion outburst after Mike LeFort had led off the in- ning on a walk and two consecutive hits by Jeff Kane and Tim Jones. Jeff had another hitin the fifth while Mike Wiseman had ouronlyother safety. The gold and blue team left five runners on base and were robbed of several well hit balls early in the game when we could have established some early momentum. Matt Skerratt and Tim narrowly missed picking off a stealer at second on their first planned pitch- out play of the season. Mike LeFort made a good relay toss to Adam Lamb at third base to pick off a runner. Mike Koury made a good pickup of a hard ground ball to second. Tim made five fielding outs from off the rubber and had nine Ks despite soak- ing up the L. Matt Fraser and Luke Pilkey had some good cuts at bat against some tough Vaughan pitching. The team will get an- other look at a top level team on Thursday, June 8 when they host the Wil- lowdale Golden Bears who may be one of the best three squirt fastball teams in the province. Game time will be 6:30 p.m. at Squirts topple Vaughan Water St. south diamond. Come on out and watch your Scugog team meet this challenge.
