Ken McConnell and Blair McBratney saw service on the mound for Scarbo- rough. It was a perfect night for baseball and the large crowd on hand were treat- ed to a most entertaining fastball game, as the hit- ters on both teams lined balls to all areas of Green- bank Ball Park. Paul Foucault of the | Royals and Greg Newell of the Gamblers were the big hitters of the night as they both had two home runs apiece to pace the hitting attack. First Greenbank had the lead, then the Royals, then the Gamblers again as the game wore on but fi- nally Scarborough broke a 4-4 deadlock in the sixth inning and hung on for a 5- 4 win and create a four team first place logjam. Greenbank, Scarbo- rough Royals, Oshawa Heat and Oshawa Juniors are all virtually tied for top spot after the first third of the 1995 season, with each team suffering only a single loss. Next Thursday night the Gamblers will host Brampton at Ianson Park at 8 p.m. On the weekend, Green- bank played in the Balti- more Tournament which they had won for the past three years.

They opened the tourna- ment on Saturday morn- ing and behind the three hit pitching of Byron Bara- nieski. thev defeated the "North Fred" Jrs. (Napan- ee) by a 1-0 score. Mark Goreski came off the bench to drive in Pete Oosterholt with the games only run and give Green- bank their sixteenth Con- secutive win in Baltimore over the last four years. Their luck finally ran out in game two as they out hit the Oshawa Jrs. by 8 to 3 but could not get the clutch hit(s) that could have given them the win and left eleven men on base as they bowed to the Oshawa team by a 2-0 score. Sunday saw a similar situation as they outhit the Scarborough Royals but again they could not get the key hit(s) with men in scoring position and suf- fered a 3-1 setback and they were out of the tour- nament. The Gamblers are an ex- cellent defensive club and rarely beat themselves with shoddy fielding bu on Sunday some infiel miscues led directly to Scarborough scoring two of their three runs. Goreski and Baraniski pitched well for the Green- bank Club during the tournament and Chris Burkholder led the team attack with five solid hits. Mark Goreski and Brian Till each had three hits with Goreski also driving in a pair of runs. Steve Durham and Greg Newell with two hits each were the only other Gamblers with more than one hit.
