......iid, .tlcnmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday. August 9, 1962 BY RON CRAINI Christmas came early this year for a young gent- leman named Larry Guio. It came at 10:10 on the night of July 313t, right square in the middle of the main softball diamond in the Town Park of Richmond Hill. And he knew it - oh_ how well he knew it! Richmond Hill entry in the York-Simcoe Softball League. He achieved the dream of every pitcher in every league, in any land where baseball or softball is played. A no-hit, no-run ball game. This was almost a perfect game but, in the third ,‘ inning, he walked a runner to put a man on base. As it turned out, he pitched to only 28 batters in a nine inning stint. And that's well nigh a perfect perform- ance. Along about the fifth inning the light began to dawn that something unusual was happening. It . was the same old story. Every inning he pitched ~â€" ,_" three batters up and three batters down. His team mates seemed to catch fire and played some of the most brilliant softball seen in a Rich- mond Hill ball park this or any other year. No pit- cher in history ever got better support and the result was an errorless performance. From the fifth inning on. the tension began to mount noticeably. He was pitching in an easy free- wheeling style and it seemed incredible that the parade of strikeouts, pop ups and ground balls could ‘ continue. But it did. ., .. The pressure \'as really on in the eighth inning i .“ with some fairly consistent hitters due to take a cut ' at the ball. Two weak pop ups and a strikeout and the eighth inning milestone was safely passed. And now with only three batters left to face. the rival board of strategy went to work. Here comes a pinch hitter. Now its a well-known fact that pinch hitters are reasonably consistent with the big hickory 7-"? stick or they wouldn‘t be sent in to bat otherwise. If: Physchologically they have a tremendous advan- tage over a pitcher, particularly in this case. They've “egot nothing to lose or have already IOst it and the 7' pitcher has no idea of his hitting weaknesses, if any. .2‘1 Looking just the least bit worried he pumps into “' the wind up and tires the first one â€"â€" strike! Two strikes later a defeated batsman heads for the bench as he went down swinging. Now we have the ninth man in the rival batting order coming up for his third try at marring a no-hit bid. He has already gone out twice on infield rollers â€" what can he do this time? And he goes down swing- ing vainly at an elusive third strike. The chips are down for fair this time. The lead off batter is due for his fourth try at the plate. He has already smashed two line drives that the third baseman picked Off for outs, and drove a long ball to right field. The right fielder went a country mile to make the catch. This man is Overdue to hit. If you were on the mound what would you do and how would you feel? How would a five pin bow- ler feel on the twelfth ball of an otherwise perfect game? Probably a haunted, empty sort of feeling. Larry Guio didn't feel much different. For the first time the strain showed through. His breathing .rdeepened and he was just a shade more deliberate ‘ than usual. Then he made up his mind. reared back and fired â€" strike! The next pitch was called a ball by the umpire and the agony was prolonged. Now what type of pitch to throw? â€" Well, he threw it, the batter liked it and smashed it down the first base line. If anyone ever saw grief and dismay registered on an athletes face, this was the time. But hold it a second â€" it curved foul -â€" that's strike two! Almost as an afterthought he rifled iii the third pitch â€" the batter swung but the ball broke to the outside. A good three inch miss and there’s the no-hitter. Opposing players. coaches, umpires, fans, team- mates and a jubilant sponsor couldn’t wait to shake his hand. And the big grin was wonderful. It raised ‘ the temperature at least twenty degrees. Larry laid ' claim to the game ball and there was none to say 1 him nay. He plans Oil having it autographed by all the the members of the team because he knows and honestly believes that although he gets the lions’ share of the glory. eight other players made it all 1 possible. Incidently his team won 5-0 to clinch fourth place and a spot in the league playoffs. was the defeated club but somehow the game result seemed overshadowed by the incredibly fine performâ€" ance of the highly promising young athlete. And that is how Christmas came early to Larry Guio. â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" Vern Dynes. sponsor of Dynes Jewellers Softâ€" ball Team and his coach Russ Cripps watched the Kent Clothes - Newmal'ket game. They were admit- tedly having a look at some of the talent on display and must have seen a lot of things they liked. - If they'd hand-picked a game to scout they could- n’t have planned it' any better unless someone in Hollywood had written the script. ’ From what they saw. along with everybody else. there’s a real pile of talent almost ready to move on‘ i ‘to intermediate ball once their junior days are over. ‘ â€" SPORT SPOTS â€" The long awaited change house is still some dis- tance in the future. Plans for the building itself are .libeing readied by the Richmond Hill Parks Board. .Once these are completed the next item is to call ‘for tenders. .
