THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thurs SURPRISES As is usuallv the case in tournaments, there were a certain number of upsets or surprises as far as the outcome of games. On any given day any team can knock off a much higher ranked team and that in essence is the key why tournaments are so unpredictable and interesting. One of the biggest upsets of the day had to be in the tyke division, where lowly ranked Ziebart Rustproofing downed the previously undefeated Richmond Hill Auto Body 6-2 in the second round of the tournament. Auto Body hadn’t lost a single game all season long. o-~~ Another game was not as startling, but could still be considered a rather big upset by the way it started off. This was in the peewee league where Dynes Jewellers fell behind first place Bob’s Boys 5-0 in the first inning, but came back strong to defeat them 8-5. Ziebart grabbed the lead in the first inning and never looked back as they coasted to this rather easy victory. Ziebart scored five runs in the first inning on three hits as Scott Mansbridge, Dino Murri and Kevin Pollard all knocked in one run. The next big inning that Ziebart had was in the third as they scored three runs on two hits, with Dino Murri and Kevin Pollard both knocking in single runs again. As has been the case in past years, all of the ball players were treated to free food. This year the delicacies were hot dogs and unfrozen “lolas” for liquid refreshment. After every team completed its first game the players went back to the town park and stuffed themselves on the more-than-appreciated food that was being offered. As has been the ctistom in this yearly tournament, crests were provided for all of the young ball players. 1" There were some who felt that this might take. some of the glamor out, of the tournament. but it did not suffer in any way, shape, or form by the lack of “foreign” competition. Another rather unforseeable event was when weak Rumble Transport of the tyke league downed Kent Clothes and then upset Tony’s Esso. both sup- erior teams, to reach the finals for that age group. Zieharl Rustproofing 9, Rumble Transport 3 The tyke final was the first game to go. as two of the lower ranked teams in the league met for the tournament championship. Except for a short delay early in the morning at Crosby Park, the tournament itself was very well organized and did not run into a great amount of difficulty. Most of the games moved along very smoothly. One aspect that was different this year from those tournaments in the past, is that for the first time no out-of-town teams were invited to participate. -.l...... .u.i1 Meanwhile Rumble Transport were being lim- ited to one hit by Ziebart pitcher Scott Mansbridge. Scott also recorded 11 strikeouts. Every house league team in Richmond Hill took part in this annual extravaganza, with softball games being staged almost everywhere you went in .town. As usual bad weather was forecast for the day. But the cold and rain managed to avoid us and the climate could not have been better for the tournament. The Richmond Hill Minor Ball Association held its sixth annual season ending minor ball tourna- ment September 16. This was the last big fling for the large majority of minor ball teams in Richmond Hill for this season. And a big day it was. I Rumble pitcher Mark Joslin simply did not have any fielding whatsoever behind him. His team- mates committed nine errnrs. Mark did pitch well enough, though, to limit Ziebart to five hits while fanning eight men in four innings. Allencourt Fish & Chips 12, Village Pizza 3 The junior girls‘ final was somewhat of a sur- prising upset in itself as the highly favored Village Pizza team were downed in very convincing fashion by Allencourt. Four big runs in the first inning were all Allencourt Fish & (‘hips really needed. But Ehfey added three more in the third and five in the i th. Meanwhile Village Pizza scored single runs in the first, third and fifth innings. The big hitters for the Allencourt team were Kathy Turner who hit two triples and scored twice, along with Catherine Evelyn who hit a one run homer. Allencourt pitcher Jackie Widdop allowed Village Pizza only two hits as she struck out seven batters. Allencourt Pharmacy 9. Bayview Coin Laundry ] Allencourt. the finalists the week before in the intermediate girls' championship. came on strong in the tournament and went all the way to win the championship. This helped to make up for their loss the previous week in the league finals. Allencourt swept past Wallace Insurance and The Pant-In to reach the tournament finals. where they met with very little resistance from Bayview Coin Laundry. Extra inning games are beginning to appear as if they belong in the squirt house league perman- ently. Only the week before Hodgins Hardware and Murphys engaged in an 11-inning contest to decide the league championship. It happened again in the tournament: championship. Earlier in the day Murphy Real Estate, who have made a habit of playing extra innings games over the past two seasons, were deadlocked with Mr. Transmission 2-2 after the regulation five innings in a first round game of the tournament. It took Murphys six innings to finally edge out Transmission 3-2. Gary Byer scored the winning run. Town Auto Body had also been involved in an extra inning game themselves during second round play of the tournament. 7 League champions Hodgins Hardware were leading Town Auto by a score of 3-0 after four-and-a- half innings. 1n the bottom of the fifth Town Auto put on a tremendous charge and tied the score to send the game into extra innings. No runs were scored in the sixth. but did manage to count one in the top of the In the bottom of the seventh Town Auto to send two runners across the plate and game 5-4 after two extra innings. The tournament championship game was a real thriller as it took Murphy‘s 10 innings to down the Town Auto team. Murphys took a 1-0 lead in the fifth inning as Paul Mills scored.

This was a very heartbreak- ing loss for the Dynes team, who seemed to have the game won right until the very end. Losing pitcher Glen Doyle gave up five runs on nine hits and struck out six. The Judo combination of Doug Lewis and Craig Clack gave up four runs on two hits and fanned nine batters. David Oakley got the only two hits for Dynes, while Craig Clack, Kevin Higgs, and Glenn Porter all went two for two for the Judo team. At this point Judo brought in Doug Lewis, a so-so average pitcher during the season, to relieve Craig Clack. Earlier in the day Lewis hurled his finest game of the season. He fired a three hitter at City-Wide and could have easily had a shutout except for the fact his teamates committed six errors in the final two innings. Lewis promptly struck out the first two batters he faced without allowing a run. The bottom of the second saw Glenn Porter coming through with a two-run single for the Judo team. There was no more scoring until the top of the fifth when Lewis, who had retired eight men in a row, gave up a single to David Oakley. Oakley eventually scored on a sacrifice fly to put Dynes in front by a score of 4-2. The bottom of the fifth inning was do or die for the Judo team. as they now faced their toughest challenge of the year. Lead off batter Doug Lewis flew out to the right fielder who made a great catch on the play. Craig Clack then singled up the middle and scored on the same hit when the ball got by the centre fielder. Kevin Higgs and Glenn Porter then singled, with both moving up on a wild pitch. Photique Studios 7. Kinnear Pontiac 2 Behind the strong pitching of Ken Topley, Photique encountered only minimal resistance from a rather surprising finalist in the guise of Kinnear. Kinnear. which had been down by as much as 5-0 to Richmond Hill Billiards in the first game of the tournament, came back strong to edge Billiards 7-6. But they just ran out of gas in the final. Photique won the tournament championship to make up for the fact that they lost the league champion- ship a week earlier. Richmond Hill Judo 5. Dynes Jewellers 4 Next to the squirt final. this peewee final game had to be the most exciting, and possibly even a little more dramatic. Dynes Jewellers, who had knocked off Bob's Boys earlier in the day. were really up for this game. They showed it in the first inning. David Oakley hit a twoâ€"run double from the offerings of Craig Clack and came around to score on an error by the left fielder. Down 3-0, the Judo team went out in order in the bottom of the first as Dynes pitcher Glen Doyle was throwing very fast. In the second inning Judo pitcher (‘lack experienced control problems as he walked the bases loaded with only one out. 7 , _ Aloi Brothers 27. York Simcoe Sports 8 In a rather lopsided affair Aloi Brothers won their second championship trophy in two weeks. They had also grabbed the league championship trophy the week before. This game was uneven from the start. Aloi Brothers took a commanding lead in the first inning and just coasted to a Victory there on in. York Simcoe Sportsdisplayed some offensive power in the fifth and final inning. it up in the bottom of the fifth as Danny O’Sullivan crossed the plate. After this neither team really threatened until the 10th and final inning. . Paul Mills hit a double for Murphy and tried to stretch it into a triple when he was caught in a rundown between second and third. In his determ- ination to be safe. Paul ran over the Town Auto third baseman and went all the way in to score. in the fourth and two in the fifth. After scoring single runs in the first and second innings, York Simcoe was shutout until the fifth when they pushed six runs across the plate. This was a superbly played game by both teams, but once again the pitching was the real bright spot. Murphy Real Estate's Jeff Joslin fanned 24 Auto Body batters in 10 innings. Jim Majury for Town Auto struck out 25 Murphy hitters in nine and two- thirds innings. Aftel: scoring nine runs on four hits in the first inning Aloi still persisted in scoring more runs. They counted five in the second. nine in the third, two Susan Chepelsky of Alio Brothers gave up eight runs on four hits which included three homeruns and eight strikeouts. The big hitters for Aloi were Anita Dimonte with a single, double and three runs, Joanne Taylor with a double. two singles and three runs and Wilma Bolderhey with two singles and a homerun. Anita Greenfield and Cheryl Paxton both scored four runs apiece. Joanne Oullette was the big hitter for York Simcoe as she had a double and a homerun as well as scoring twice. Lori Donofrio and Ann Marie Moss both homered for York Simcoe as well. For most teams the season is now over. Only a few of the all-star teams are still playing. A few of the house league teams are prolonging their sched- ules by arranging a few exhibition games. As usual the tournament was a great success and also a great way to end the season for the many hundreds of youngsters who played softball in Rich- mond Hill this year. This had to be the most pro- ductive and most interesting softball season that Richmond Hill Minor Ball has ever known. The house leagues were a great success. More young- sters than ever joined softball. But the key had to be the vastly increased amount of tournaments that were started in the Hill this past summer. These more than any other single factor helped to make this the best minor ball season on Richmond Hill record. If next season can be half as productive and half as interesting as this season, it will still be consid- ered a success. fi- BEGINNING SOON WITH VORK UNDERWATER CLUB For Information: PHONE 889-1064 Sept. 28, 1972 AT Richmond Hill Centennial Pool SEASON NOW OVER COURSES IN SCUBA DIVING 884-8017 Richmond Hill, who dropped three straight play- off games after losing a demoralizing 2-0 champ- ionship game to Saskatchewan in the All-Canadian. edged North York 1-0 Thursday night of last week and then eliminated them with a 3-2 win Sunday.
