Whitby Captures Titles It is a certainty now that two Eastern Ontario Association Chanpionships will rest in Whitby for the coming year. Two others are in the balance, while a third will definitely be going elsewhere. The K of C Tykes have brought the Tyke honours to Whitby for the third successive year, while the Canadian Tire Midgets captured the E.O.B.A. Midget crown. The Whitby Legionaires and the Lasco Steelers are still battling it out with Cobourg clubs for Pee-Wee and Bantam honours. Atterslyes out-of-action The Attersley Tire Juniors bowed out of com- petition for '72 but they went down fighting in an amazing reversal of form against Kingston. The series opener was in Kingston and the Whitby club was bombed 13-0. No doubt the Limestone City club thought that the second garne to be played in Whitby was a formality, and they could hardly be blamed for this, but when they left E.A. Fairman Park they were a mighty surprised and weary crew who had needed fifteen innings before they subdued the Whitby club 5-4, and only then did they get their winning run on an error. Th, Attersley's fought back from a 4-0 defi- cit to tie the game and came close to winning it, but it was not to be. Greg Cairns was on the mound, and the Whitby southpaw put on a gritty performance, hurling for fourteen and two-thirds innings, which is a perfor- mance deserving of praise at any time-even in defeat. Dave Moore and Gary Borchuck were particularly sharp in the field while Harry Long got things going with a bases loaded double. It was not enough and the Attersleys thus bow out of the baseball picture after a long season in which they came up with many surprises. K of C's on top agaia The K of C Tykes were the first Whitby club to come up with championship laurels when they com- pleted a two-game sweep of their series with Cobourg in Donegan Park in Cobourg on Thursday taking the final game 13-2. They had won the opener earlier in the week 16-6. This is the third year in a row for the Eastern Ontario Tyke A Championship to find its way to Whitby, an enviable record. The 1970 edition of the club went all the way to the Ontario title while last year's team lost out to a strong Stratford club which eventually won provincial honours. The K of C's won out over Bowmanville easily in the semi-finals and after the first game of the finals with Cobourg, it was obvious the Whitby club was on its way to its 3rd strajght E.O.B.A. title. In the opener played at Peel Park, Larry Chizen was on the mound, and with some relief help from Michael Welling picked up the victory. The two clubs matched hits with eleven each, but the K of C's were much superior in the field, made their hits count, and could have extended the margin far beyond the final 16-6 score without mnuch trouble. -Ken Jimmo, Larry Chizen, Butch Galley, Mike Welling each had a pair of singles, while K'evin Mac- Lelland, Gary Shearer and Robbie Scero added singles for Whitby. Larry Chizen allowed only two walks which made a big difference in the final outcome. The scene shifted to Cobourg for the second game and for this encounter left-hander Mike Welling was on the mound. He came up with a standout effort limiting Cobourg to three hits, walking only onîe and striking out nine on his way to the win. In this one also, the outcome was never really in doubt and the score could have been more one-sided than the 13-2 final count had the K of C's wanted to extend themselves. John Wall led the hitters with a double and a single, Paul Heffer had a double, while Butch Galley, Robbie Scero, Mike Welling, Larry Chizen and Ricky Schroer added safeties. E.O.B.A. Crown for Canadian Tire Midgets The Canadian Tire Midgets became the second Whitby club to bring home an E.O.B.A. crown, and in doing so became the first Midget club to do so in many, many years. The club got off to a mediocre start, but started to catch fire in mid-July, came up Two E.0.B.A with a tremendous display in the local Midget Tourna- ment and since that tine have had an almost unbeat- able record. They won the opening game of the E.O.- B.A. Midget finals with a 9-8 victory that they pulled out of the fire in the botton of the final inning with some great draniatics. In the second game they lost 6-4 in Port Hope when Kevin Jiggins bested Harold Moore, and the Port Hope club had one of those nights when every ball was hit right at a fielder, and this squared the series, setting the scene for a third and final game at E.A. Fairman on Thursday which was played before a large, and noisy crowd of baseball fans. The fans were treated to another hair raiser in which the Canadian Tire club took the game 6-5 and the E.O.B.A. Midget A. Championship. John Turner stars at nound John Turner, on the mound for Whitby, came up with his best performance of the season, and although lie gave up nine hits, ernerged the victor as he spread thern out and cut short any serious rally. Dave Sori- chetti, who has been a key figure in the late season surge of the Tiremen, Robbie Craigen, Armand Robi- taille and Janie Moore, all with singles were the Whit- by hitters but four hits were enough to give then the victory and the title. The game was marred somewhat, as was the se- ries by "sour grapes' complaining of the Port Hope crew who protested the call of Umpires on a play in the eighth inning, but the E.O.B.A. at a meeting held in Port Hope on Friday ruled that the umpire's ruling had no effect on the outcome of the game and the win stood. The irony of the situation was that the officials for the game were "neutral" umpires requested by the Port Hope club, who were unhappy about the umpir- ing in the series opener. The Canadian Tire club were in Montreal for the weekend to see the Expos in ac- tion against the Atlanta Braves and their series victory gave them just cause to celebrate. It's been a long time since Whitby had a winner in the older classifi- cations. Legionaires The Whitby Legionaires in the E.O.B.A. Pee-Wee finals started off with a bang dropping the Cobourg Pirates 12-4 in the series opener at Peel Park on Thurs., after gaining a berth in the finals by disposing of Lind- say 8-6 on Monday. In the opener of the finals with the strong Cobourg club Tim Twining and Ian Gillis came through with a double and single each to lead the Whitby hitters, whilè Doug Shearer, Blair Gibson, Cam Murkar and Dave McWhirter had a pair of singles each and Fred Petryshyn added one. The Legionaires got their hits off the pitching duo of Jim O'Rourke and AI Davidson. Cam Murkar was on the mound for the Legionaires and the Whitby left-hander gave up five hits, walked one and struck out six. Because of their convincing win, they appeared to be in the dri- ver's seat for the second game of the best of three set when the second ganme carne up on Sat. in Cobourg's Donegan Park. Disastrous 6th A disastrous sixth inning in which the Legion- aires yielded seven runs to give the Pirates an eventual 8-3 win was the story. The Legionaires were enjoying a 3- I lead at this point when the roof felI in and their defense fell completely apart and they booted the baIll five times. Prior ta this the infield had caome up with two sparkling double plays which got the club out of trouble. The big story of the day was the inability of the Whitby club ta get some timnely hits. Twice they had the unbelievable situation of having the bases loaded with none out without scoring a single run and when a club leaves men on base like that they're going to get stung. Mark MacDonald on the mound couldn't be faulted for the loss. Can Murkar led the club with a double and a single, and Mark MacDonald helped make it a pitcher's day at the plate with a pair while Doug Shearer, Tim Twining and Dave McWhirter added safeties. lie third and deciding game in the series was slated for Peel Park for Wed. night at 6:15.
