By STEVE LeBLANC The Champion Milton's midget basebaîl teamn was perfect in the field and nearly equaled that on the mound en route to whitewashing Woodstock 2-0 Monddy night at Maplehurst Balil Park. The Red Sox gave up just two hits and delivered their first error-free contest during the highly enter- taining victomy - which pushed their regular season record to 10-3. Steve Spiers struck out 15 batters over eight innings while fanning a pair in thse final framne was Paul Duif. Each allowed just a sngle bit and enjoyed sharp defense thse entire evening. Botb muns weoe casbed in during tird-inning play, on a two-strike single to right field by Kevin Cooper. Scoring were Andrew Pepper and Evan Jeans - both of whom advanced on a sacrifice fly by Chris Dumencu. The previous atternoon at Brian Best Park, Milton highlighted its season by no-hitting Martingrove and winning 5-I1. Dumencu did the lion's share of pitching - holding visiting batters at bay for seven-and-a-third innings while Cooper came in to put things away. A walk and infield error led to the lone mun against Milton. Jeans threw out four runners attempting to steal sec- ond and another at third to lead a rock-solid tielding campaign. The Red Sox' broke a scoreless stalemate with two runs in the seventh and then strengtbened their bold down the stretch. Milton had 10 bits overail - three of which weoe recorded by Conan O'Brien, who drove in Andrew Kirkland for the winning mun.
