..‘ ~ My hat‘s off to a super bunch ‘The Waterloo Expos, 1980 version, have no grand illusions of being inked into the books as the most talented in the club‘s history. F : But in the pride and willâ€"toâ€"win departments, especially in the past month, I can‘t recall an Expo unit to match the acâ€" canpfimuof&ecnwhtlsochedfldbhkefie field for the final time tonight at Bechtel Park, eager to write the last heartwarming chapter of its strangerâ€"thanâ€" fiction season.â€" At 7:30 tonight Expos and Brantford Red Sox will square off in the final game of the bestâ€"ofâ€"five Interâ€"County Junior Baseball finals with the winner laying claim to the league That in itself is nothing new since the clubs have done the same thing for four of the past five years, but if you were on hand during the sixth inning of game three Monday at Bechâ€" tel, you would have bet your week‘s pay the only bouncing balls in that park tonight would come from dieâ€"hards on the accompanying tennis courts. i +k No, things didn‘t look good after fiveâ€"andâ€"aâ€"half for the local nine, who not only trailed in the series 2â€"0, but were also down.in the game 5â€"0. Even some of the most loyal Waâ€" terloo fans stirred restlessly, hoping that the 50â€"50 ticket number would be announced so they could skip on home and catch the second half of Monday night football. Little did they realize that in the next few minutes, the club that has seen the tops of several mountains and the bottom of a few valleys this season was about to stand up and be counted for what, the umpteenth time? A brief, yet succinct pep talk from field manager Nels Griff stirred the troops into getting three back in the sixth and a bagful, five to be exact, in the seventh as they rallied for an 8â€"6 victory. ‘‘It looked pretty bad there for a while," said cenâ€" trefielder Terry Boegel after Monday‘s contest. "But once we got up there was no stopping us. It seemed all we had to do was get that first run across the plate and suddenly everything came alive. a ‘"Our biggest problem in the first two losses was that we had our chances to win, but we couldn‘t get the key hits. dn Waterioo Chronicie, Wednesday, September 17, 1980 GUARANTEED 90 DAYS OR $129" New Motorcraft Oi! 14 quarts/$ litres) install new Motorcraft hiter rauur â€" CHECKâ€"UP Passenger Cars and Light Trucks (6400 km) Exnaust System All Fhnd Leveis N Aur Cleaner Fiter Windsiweld Wiper Biades Hood latch and hinges â€" Dogr Hinges Deck Lid Hinges Cootant tor Temperature Â¥1 1.

What Boegel, a truly outstanding competitor*and sportsâ€" man failed to mention was that it was his basesâ€"loaded triâ€" ple in the seventh that vaulted Waterloo into the lead. The heart of the team with not only his skills on the field MICKY COLLISON $ 129 ALIGNMENT Any necessary parts and instailation extra, if required Most passenger cars Any addmonal parts or serece wit work is started but also with constant praise and encouragement of his mates, Boegel has continued in the Brantford series the remarkable plate prowess that earned him MVP honors in Expos OBA championship victory 10 days ago. , *‘*For myself, and I guess the whole team, the toughest part about this series is trying to get up for it after winning OBA, that‘s been our biggest problem," said Boegel. ‘"But win or lose, all these guys go out there with the idea of doing their best." f While, as catcher Dunc MacDonald admitted Tuesday, Expos defensive execution hasn‘t been that great, one has to marvel at the way teammates rally around to get each other out of jams. It‘s an epidemic of true team spirit and the stuff that makes champions out of good, but not necessarily great ball teams. Perhaps the most outstanding individual effort in this series came Tuesday, when Micky Collison came in in relief of Greg McEachern for Expos in the third and allowed but one Brantford hit the rest of the way â€" all the while with a pitching arm about as dead as a doornail. ‘‘Hey, this is like OBA all over again,‘" said MacDonald with a big smile. We had our backs to the wall again, and we‘ve come back. It‘s a really good feeling. Look at Micky (Collison) tonight, he knew he had a sore arm, but he knew what the game meant too. He just said give me the ball, I‘ll try and do it." s Whether Expos win or lose the final game, they have won the hearts of many, not the least of which mine, with their play and attitude at OBA and in these Interâ€"County finals. It may be a man‘s game, baseball, but as far as Expos are concerned, it is still a game, and a fun one at that. That was evident in Brantford Tuesday when Expos pulled together to win game four of the series 4â€"3 when Brad Schâ€" nurr scored on wild pitch in the seventh with the eventual winning run. f For the second night in a,.row, and third time this series, at least seven Expos in the starting lineup cracked out hits to aid the cause. And that‘s a lineup without leading hitter Don Beaupre, often without Schnurr and more recently without regular first baseman Bruce Gordon. caster, camber and toeâ€"in hre air pressure front end suspension PHONE 884â€"5110 think PARKWAY â€"
