'l'le Legioîuaires luad ticd the besf of flîrce sets, wMien thîey came itp with a 5-O victory at Peel Park in one of fhîcir best performances of tbe year. For thîis second gante the Wlitby club put on their best defensive display in soîne time, the kind of play which lîad earned for theni fli repu ta- tion as bcing one of flic best fielding clubs in the Pee-Wee ranks; they got an almost flawless pitcbing performance froin left-hander ('arn Murkar wbo who yieldcd only one lit and struck ouf nine, and they nianaged f0 unake their bits count, even though tlîey only had four saties. Tlue glaring weakness of the Legionaires lias beeîî flîcir inabilify f0 corne througb with clutch bits iii pressure situations, wben Midget s in r lIuts inean ru ns. Greg Tushingharn,, returning to action after s several weeks absence due to injury came up with a double which drove in two n.îns, while Ian Gillis, i John Heffer, and Camn Murkar added singles. OnIy 1 once during the gaine did Newrnarkef threaten se- riously, but Darreni Vine caine up withi a double play 1 at second on a line drive and removed the threat. *For the final gainie iii Newmnarket, the Legionaires 1 camne up withi too little and too late as they camne froin behind a 3-0 deficit to make it 3-2 and hiad the tving mrn on third when the last out carne in a thrilling finish whicli had the park in an uproar. *Newinarket picked up two important unearned nîns, the resuit of errors, and built up a 3-O lead iby the fifth. The Legionaires broke the ice in the sixth, and added another in the seventh, but didn't quite make it. Cain Murkar on the mound for the Legionaires was looking for his 2 1 st win of the season but had to settle for his third loss as lie gave up four hits, and struick out nline. Whitby managed four hits off Scott Rettie of' Newrnarket with Creg Tushinghiam again getting adouble, with Fred Petryshyn, Mark Mac- Donald and Doug Shearer adding singles. Iii spite of their elininiation front the O.B.A. pfaydowns this lias to go down as a great year for the Legionaires. They wciit throughi the regular schiedule with a highly ilinressive I18-? record to enid un as leaeue leaders. and thien defcated Lindsay and Cobourg iin semi-finial andd tinal playofi' rounids to wini the E.O.B.A. Pee- Wee Ciaipionshîpl.
