Uneven effort leads to big loss for junior Sox By MURRAY TOWNSEND Special to The Champion The Milton Jr. Red Sox played a triple beader Monday nigbt ai Maplehurst. Nul exactly, but il seemed that way. They ls i3-0 lu undefeated Dundas atter clobber- ing St. Catherines 14-4 the previuus day. Each of the three-inning segments of the game were su ditferent il makes sense lu report on theru that way. Game One (innings 1lb 3) Milton 0, Dundas 0 The Red Sux were outstanding, and if you didn't know and bad lu pick whicb teamn was the undefeaîed une, you wuuld have gune witb Milton. Ian Mosczak was excellent on the mound. The left-hander doesn't tbrow par- ticuiariy hard, but he bas some good pitch- es in is repertoire. His curve bail was freezing left-handed batters and tben faling nicely uver the plate for stikes. He aliowedjust une it, and the rest of the time the Dundas 'igera ballera were popping themn up. At une point, be retired six in a row. The ielding was crisp and sure-band- cd on every it bail. The Red Sox bats bad some ire and the players were aggressive on the base patha. Reese Davies opened tbe game witb a bard drive lu left-centre field that would bave gone for extra bases if nul for a great catch. Taylor Lawton walked, and then promptly stole second base and thrd base, hefore being stranded. In the second inning, Mike Austen and Jed Cosby, witb a smash duwn the third base line, had its, but again the Red Sox could't cash tbem in. But, the hitters were ail over the bail, su il was ouly a mater of ime, or su il appeared. Garne Two (innings 4to 6) Dundas 3, Milton 0 The Tigers nickled and dimed the Red Sox for a couple runs. witb bases on halls -starting lu hurt Musczak. Dundas scored two in the fourtb inning after a leadoff double and by inching their way around the bases with steals and field- ers choices. The Red Sox got out of the third inning when a runner tried to go lu third un a bit o centre field. Todd Black gunned him down on a perfect tbruw 10 Davies, wbo had ime lu pick his nuse and do is nails as be waiting for tbe runner to siide intu tbe tag. In tbe ifth inning, a leadufi waik appeared sure lu be scured as the Dundas bitter drove one tu deep rigt-cenlre field. Black tumed it mbtc the TSN highiight of' tbe night, the week, the montb, and the sea- son. He raced after tbe bail and made a tan- tastie over-the-shoulder catch as be neared the fence. The runner on flrst bad already reached third base and Black could bave waiked the bail lu irst base tu double otff the runner. He threw the bail in and the inning was uver. At the plate, the Red Sox were stili bit- îing the bail bard, but couldnt put anything tugether. Tbeir best chance tu score was in the sixtb when leadoft' batter Nathan Perront skied a bail su igh to centre that the ielder loat it when il came out utf the ciouds. Perroît landed on second, but couldn't gel past tird. Garne 3 (innings 7 to 9) Dundas 10, Milton 0 Notbing went rigbt for the Red Sox. Al of a sudden tbey couidn't bit (nu bits in Iis segment) tbey couldn't field (errors every- where) and îhey cuuldnt get anybody out with îbree different pitchers. Il was a total team meltdown. Dundas scored seven rua in the nintb inning, and that was in îake-it-easy moude. nul taking the extra base or going hume wben tbey would bave prubabiy scured. Even îbey were feeling badly for the Bad News Sox. Milton wuuld be weil advised tb furgel anytbing that bappened afler the sixtb inning. especially by Saturday atemnoun.
