-,ýMilton bas ebail stando uts are HAC-ing around this suimmer The Canadian Champion, Friday, August 3, 2001-21 Two Milton basebaîl standouts will be HACing around local diamonds this month. Hallan King and Liam Tennant will face campetitian fram bath sides of the barder during back-ta-back toumaments within the region as part of the Halton Athletic Club (HAC) Under- 18 squad. The duo are the youngest members of the team, yet have made key contributions since the season began - including in Cincinnati June 16, when they lost by just one mun ta the American powerhouse Watt Sweeney Cardinals. King bas warked is way inta the ttarting rotation and also seen tome play in right field whi le Tennant - who competed with the Central Ontario Basebal Association ail-star squad at last year's Ontario Summer Games - bas been in the thick of things as tihe teamr's number one shortstop. ,,Peewees win consolation i titie Sunday To comç Milton's peewee selects were derailed on isi their way ta the championship finals last cenusc weekend in Royal York. Ou However, the local lads refused ta walk u( away empty-handed - rallying from a pair OUtd of deficits, including a five-run hale after Pa inning number ane, ta outlast Mississauga fnl North 10-9 Sunday moming for thse consa- lation crown. Mike Melo provided the heroics, belting a two-out single ta deep right field that brought home Scott Rankin. The bit capped a three-run raliy in the bottom of the seventh inning, wbich punctuateda thoroughly entertaining clash. Jason Brooks' four-bit performance was good enough ta give him player-af-the- game honours. Milton - about the only team at the taumament that doesn't com- pete within a rep league - battled back aliter a potentially disastrous first frame, delivering imprcssive plate pop and aggressive base-running over the balance of the cantest. "Wc just kcpt cbipping away and pullcd t out," said manager Ian Walker. The fact that the consolation chamnps were without the services af three starters made the comeback victory aIl the more inspiring. Saturday night, the local peewees appeared ta be champianship-bound, but aost a cauple of fly balîs as the sun went down and were eventually edged by Regent Park 8-6. Outfielder R.J. Carey made a few key catches tbrough the initial stages of semnii- nal play, wbich helped the seleets maintain their lead for much of the Lontest.
