First less for tykes Whitby Peaeock Family Sport tyke reps bad their egos bruised a little in the Newcastle basebal tournament over tbe past weekend. Suffering their first bass of the season in the openlng gaine of the tourney to the host club »owmnanville, Witby may have been overconfident after handily beating them a week earhier. Newcastle started qùickly, laying aggressive bahl, and had Whtby on the ropes throughout for a decisive 12-2 victory. Whitby was held to just one bit by Derek Grieve. Ini the second gaine of the tournainent, Whitby, led by a sendid, complete gaine two-hit shutout by pitcher Scott Sonely, got back on track ini an 8-0 victory over Cobourg. Sonely was brilliant throughout as he continually changed speeds and kept the opposition off balance ail gaine. When Sonely let his guard down a bit. he was aie ysome sparkling defence byCotn Paul Barry and Bryan T'horpe. Whitby played its own aggressive game as they stole 16 bases led by Ryan Crotin with four, and Lars Clay and Michael Ousonka, three apiece. Scott Sonely and Kyle McFarlane had two each. Clay also lead the club ini hitting with two, including, a two-run home run. Whitby played probably their best gaine of, the year te date ini game three despite losing to the AAA team.n from, Branmpton and being eliminated from the tournament. WhitbyZ started quickly behind th e fine pitching of Ousonka and juxnped into an early 5-0 lead, but could flot hold, off the stronger Brampton teain who battled back te, take a hard-fougbt 8-6 wun. Some clutch hitting by Clay and steady defence by Colin Cockbunn, Crotin and Sean Donnelly kept the Whitby team, ini the gaine riglit te, the end.
