D2 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER Wednesday, June 13, 2001 Final line was 18 batters faced, 15 strikeouts, two ground outs and the final fly out (Continued from page D1) He struck out the first two, putting baseball immortality just one out away. "And then the last out, the guy flied out to left field," he said. "I was shaking." It was the only ball hit out of the infield, but it was caught by Sergio Lujan and then ... "every body ran on to the field."

I The final line was 18 batters faced, 15 strike outs, two ground outs and the final fly out. "Amazing," said the team's coach and manag er Dave Downer. "In all my years of coaching at this level, I have never seen anything like Paul's performance. "He only threw 58 pitches against a good Brant County team, who gave us some real trou ble in an earlier game. We had to come from behind a 4-1 deficit to win 8-4." Baseball runs in the family, explains his moth er. "His dad used to play for the Intercounty Maple Leafs many years ago. My older son, too, is playing in the Halton Athletic Club, and they're going to three tournaments in the States." Paul's immediate goal is to help his Oakville Little League team reach this year's Little League World Series. His long term goal is equally as specific. To play in the "Major Leagues." The pitcher, he looks up to the most, he said "is probably Nolan Ryan." Although crazy about baseball, his athletic tal ents also serve him well in other sports. He was the only Grade Six player on his school's volley ball and basketball teams and he also won the Softball toss at the track and field meet. "He gets real good marks," said his mother, " so it's not just all sports. He was in the Think Bowl, as well." So how does one celebrate perfection -- a per fect game! Said his mother, chuckling: "We got home from the tournament and he had homework to do. I said I don't care if you pitched a perfect game, finish your homework!" TOURNAMENT RECAP ANCASTER 2, Oakville 1 (championship): Scott DeGroot scored Oakville's lone run on Roger Lambert's long fly ball to centre field. OAKVILLE 4, Brant County 0 (semifinal): perfect game pitched by Paul Jurgaitis. Singles by A.J. Obrodovich (2), Scott DeGroot, Sergio Lujan, Chris Stewart and Mitch Peragine, with RBI's by Peragine (2), Jurgaitis and Daniel Keresteci. In early tournament play, the Oakville Majors rang up wins over Ancaster minors 10-0 and 8-0 and Dundas 2-0 (with Adam Davidson knocking in the two runs in the fifth inning). with file s from the tea m ' s rep report Blakelock student makes Canada Games team Blakelock OAC student Andrew Elgar, who will be taking human kinetics at Guelph University, received the word last Friday that he had made Ontario's six-member team for the upcoming Canada Games in August. The team consists of the top Ontario cyclists who have demonstrated a combined skill in both mountain and road racing at a provincial and national level. Elgar's accomplishments in mountain biking last year -- he finished third in the provincial championship race last September and came fourth in the Canada Cup final race in Silverstar, British Columbia last August -- earned him a spot on the short list for this year's Canada Games team. Last weekend, Elgar's second place finish in a grueling stage race involving a 100 km road race, 20km time trial and 40 km mountain bike race clinched his spot on the team. Elgar has worked part time at Cyclepath, for the Town of Oakville (rec centers), and in his school cafeteria. He has been on the Blakelock student council and is currently a member of the Blakelock ath letic council. He is a member of the Oakville Cycle Club and is very appreciative of all the help and sup port the club has given him. Becoming a participant in the Canada Games fulfills one of his longtime goals. Having made the team, his next goal is to train so that his strength and endurance will be at their maximum in August when he races against the . best cyclists in Canada.
