"A Family Tradition for 130 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, June 4, 1996 - 27 p PORT PERRY STAR 4 - - PORTS N Put up a tough fight in Vaughan Legion Squirts show improvement The Port Perry Legion Squirts travelled to Vau- ghan last Wednesday, May 29 to take on the Vaughan Bs. The Port team is starting to look better every time they play and they were no dif- ferent on this night even though they came out on the short end by a 5-4 score. The Legionnaires got off to a good start as they scored in their half of the opening inning to take a 1- 0 lead. The score stayed this way until the bottom of the third inning when after three walks and two errors Vaughan had slipped into the lead by a 3-1 count. Vaughan ex- tended their lead to 4-1in the bottom of the fourth but a determined Legion squad fought back in the top of the fifth inning to tie the game up at four a piece. The Legionnaires tried to hold on but Vaughan managed to push a run across to take the win by a 5-4 final score. Shane Jef- fery started on the mound for the Legionnaires and lasted until he started to tire in the third inning and Geoff Grievson came on to finish the game off. Both pitchers did a splendid job and with just a bit more work will be even better in games to come. There were some good defensive plays in this game by Luke Pilkey who made a good catch on a hit in behind second base, Shannon Deering who caught a high foul ball while contending with the screen and the on-deck batter, Andrew Hill who made a nice two handed catch out in left field and Mike Lycett who blocked home plate off from a run- ner and put the tag on him for the out. The offence was also good in this game as Kyle Bannan and Shannon Deering each had a single and a walk, Keith Forbes, Mike Lycett, and Geoft Grievson had two walks each, Shane Jeffery had a single and two walks and Luke Pilkey, Andrew Hill and Josh Kendell had a walk each. The Legionnaires next see action in Stouffville on Wednesday, June 5 and have no home game this week.

Also his strong hitting will be a boost to the Greenbank at- tack. The bad side of things saw the pitching corps which has yet to see lefty Mark Goreski (who is re- cuperating from knee sur- gery) take another severe blow when Byron Baranie- ski, who has shouldered the workload so far, had the misfortune to lose a toenail due to a work relat- ed accident. On Thursday night in Greenbank, Gambler coach Wayne Venning re- cruited Chad Venning from the Port Perry Jun- iors to take over the pitch- ing chores and Chad gave a solid performance as . Greenbank edged Oshawa Juveniles by a 5-1 score. Venning hung tough during the game as three times the Oshawa club loaded the bases but in a gutsy - display Chad es- caped each time without a run. The lone Oshawa score came on a home run by Oshawa pitcher Dave Eschli.
