TIse Canadien Champion, Tuesday, May 30, 2000 -19 Junior Red Sox notch first home win of year By STEVE LeBLANO The Champion Milton's junior basebaîl team had alreatiy offered fans a few sneak peaks at its potential. At Bian Beat Park Sunday aftemoon, it was tirne for the festure presentstion. Behinti exceptional pitcbing and flawless fieltiing, the local lads posted their firat borne victory of the season - burnbling Waterdown 6-1.- Pitcher Andrew coe worked the first four innings on the bull and was crediteti witb thse win. He allowed four bits plus the visitors' lonte run, courtesy of back-to-back doubles in the third. Reliever Matt Dickson was even more impressive - restricting opposing batters; to juat a single bit and no runs over the final five frarnes. An errorleas garne by tbe hometown boys was highligbted witb sorte sensation- ai putouts by third baseman Bud Hall anti sbortstop Taylor Lawton. First baseman Andrew Neilson was rock solid as well, using bis reacb to baul in s couple of lesa than accurate tbrows. Offensively, Milton was fairly balanceti witb a handl'ul of players scoring runs and a total of seven registering bita. JeU cosby - a standout in tbe club' s only otber win two weeks ago - put thinga out of reach witb s two-run single in the seventb inning. RBI bits were also delivered by Hall and Kurt Mitchell. The Red Sox' firat anti tbird runs were unearnet, as they cspitalizeti on a pair of truly horrible defensive efforts by their guesta. Now 2-3, Milton will try to square its record tonigbt in Orangeville. The tearn sees its first tournament competition this weekenti in Peterborough.
