WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 7, 1983, PAGE i 0 SPORTS WEEK Umpire 's decision cost-s BY TIM-BAINES The whitby Legionaires have had it Up to, their ears with umpires. For the second time in a week, a contraversial cail could have cost the Legio naires a game. , The latest incident was Tbursday nhght in Brooklin as Whitby squared off with th eir arch rival Legion team. The Brooklin squad emerged with a 7-6 decision in ten inmings. Wbitby coach Larry Batherson questions a cail that was made in the eighthý innmng. A runner was cailed out at first base when "everybody in the park knew he was safe." What made the cal seem even more in doubt was the fact'that a Whitby runner' had scored ail the way from second base, before the shortstop's throw reached first base. With the run crossing the plate, the Whitby team would have taken the 7-6 victory in regulation play. Last weekL_ an umpire ruled that Whitby pit- cher Daryly Blake had thrown an illegal pitch because the catcher was flot ini the catcber's -box when the bail was tbrown. This allowed the runner on third to trot home with the win- ming run. 'IThose two umpires could have cost us first place," said Batherson. It's annoying this would happen. these are very crucial games."> Whitby belted out 10- bits against Brooklin. Dan Denyer had a double and two singles, Peter Davidson had a single and double and Daryl Blake, had a double. Bob Muir, Mike Gorman, Wayne Owen and -Mark Renki ewicz eacb hit a single.
