rocked up two losses si Herald Staff one win In a three game Onta The Friday night game rio Baseball Association in Georgetown was a series against win for Tillsonburg The burg this weekend the next two games were in Georgetown Eagles with Georgetown winning pleased with our pitch- runs Saturday hen losing Ing It was good enough Mario Galvao pitched In a tight bout to win In any game Eagles team manager Unfortunately we night in the first bout of Dan Gulstini blamed the weren I hitting very the tournament He gave losses on poor hitting well Gulstini said up only six hits and the was more than The guya couldn t get last one was a home PLAYING FIELD One capable shortstop please If Santa wanted to do Jim Ridley a favor he would give the Canadian national junior under IS baseball manager a couple of late but much appreciated gifts The first one would come in the form of a The second would be a host of batters who can hit righ handed pitching Those two elements were missing from this years cam record at the world championship tournament travelled to Albany New York early this month to play in the event and arrived home last week was quite surprised Ridley said I thought we had a good defensive team but we had problems at shortstop Ridley was not surprised that five of the seven teams Canada played started left handed pitchers But he could not do much to combat this However Ridley was surprised at the level of umpiring at the tournament He said a few officials made calls that ended up costing teams ball games Canada being one of them In our first game with Australia the score was and Australia has the bases loaded Our catcher gets the bail touches home plate then tries to throw to first for the double play The umpire calls the runner safe because our catcher didn ouch him I told the umpire that the bases were loaded and that the catcher have to touch the runner The umpire says Oh then says the runner beat the tag at home In our final game with Panama there are two out with two runners on base Again our catcher touches the runner coming home really The umpire calls him safe I couldn t believe It I go out to understand English So I call for some help on the play but didn t get it Not all of the umpires proved to be so reluctant to admit they were wrong Ridley said one approached him after one particular game but it was too late We re In the bottom of the ninth two out with two on base and the score tied 2 with Taipei A long fly ball bounces aver fence The goahead runner comes around third and misses it by at least IS Inches and scores winning run The umpires leave the field but I want to appeal because guy missed the bag Finally the umpires comeback and the third base umpire says the runner was safe But he less than feet from the play So 1 back at Ihe motel later that night and 1 m listening to the radio and I hear Taipei beat Canada It turns out the second base umpire called the ball out of the park a homer but he tell me that when I was there I m In the stands watching a game when same second base umpire comes up to me with tears in his eyes apologizing for making the wrong call seems he saw the television tape of the game and saw the ball a home run and that the runner did Indeed miss the base Don t get me wrong It snot a case of sour grapes As a manager you want to see something established in the first Inning and see it go whole game I t sec It Some of the officials he some calibre as he players In Ihe tournament We lost 91 lo Cuba and I t blame the umpire behind the plate That umpire did an exceptional game and was one of the best there He was named to the umpiring crew for the championship game but was on third because Cuba was playing The Canadians did have their share of bad breaks too For example In the same Cuba game Canada led the eventual tourney champions heading into the eighth Inning There righlle Myers was sailing along with a three- hitler I went down believing that a decent left bander could throw off righthanded hitters because they weren used to a curve ball and sure enough through seven had Cuba no run three hits one error However while trying to field a routine sacrifice bunt Myers collided the third baseman and Cuba eventually scored seven runs to walk away with the game have better predicted what happened to Canada in their game with Taipei In the bottom of tbe ninth with two men on and the score tied 2 the Taipei pitcher faked the throw to third He then turned around and faked the throw to first The Taipei first baseman pretended to be running for a wild pitch and fooled the runner on third into believing It The runner made the move tohome butthepitcherwhobadtheball from the start threw him out The runner on first tried to go second but was also thrown out Ridley was disappointed with Canada placing in the tournament Before leaving for Albany he said his club had the potential of making the medal round still maintain we re better ban Venezue la who were fourth and made the medal round at When we met them they were and we were and we beat them handily Getting a few wins and a good start early is important in a tournament like this Ridley is suggesting In his report to Baseball Canada that the earn be together for a longer period of time three weeks Instead of two before beading lo play in the tournament Even when the squad arrives Ridley Is suggesting It play a few exhibition games at the tournament in the fifth Inning the fifth inning he never gave a hit and pitched an excellent game coach said had six strikeouts However we made a few errors that cost us said The first three runs in the game were unearned Our fielders made errors that cost runs and that help you score at the end of the game The pitch er only gave up three hits In he entire game In first Inning four Eagles walked and the teamed scared two runs without even a hit In the bird inning tbe Eagles scored a run and Jay Anderson and Louis walked Pat Brooker laid down a sacrifice bunt which advanced the runners to second and third Next runner Mario Galvao scored an RBI run ed In sacrifice fly to second field Paul Gulstini next had a sacrifice fly to deep centre field that scored Louis Galvao It wasn until the second Inning that the team scored a hit Jay Anderson doubled and tried to stretch it Into a triple Continued on page DISCOVER FOR YOURSELF WHY SO MANY PEOPU ARE
